Facial acupuncture is a natural, non-invasive treatment that works on both the face and body to restore vitality by enhancing Qi and blood circulation. This powerful therapy stimulates collagen and elastin, refines skin texture, and promotes a radiant, lifted appearance.
How It Works:
Microtrauma Stimulation – Fine needles trigger the body’s healing response, boosting collagen production.
Improved Circulation & Oxygenation – Enhances nutrient delivery to skin cells for rejuvenation and glow.
Hormonal & Systemic Balance – Regulates circulation, digestion, and hormones, which decline with age.
Release of Expression Lines – Softens wrinkles caused by repetitive facial tension (e.g., stress, grief).
Neuromuscular Reawakening– Motor point stimulation restores muscle symmetry and tone for a lifted effect.
Key Benefits:
Skin Rejuvenation
✔ Stimulates collagen & elastin (full regeneration takes ~28 days—consistent treatments yield best results)
✔ Brightens complexion & reduces dark spots
✔ Increases blood flow for a healthy, radiant glow
✔ Restores facial symmetry by balancing overactive/weak muscles
✔ Tightens jawline and enhances midface support
✔ Releases tension to soften wrinkles
Whole-Body Wellness
✔ Promotes deep relaxation (reduces stress-related aging)
✔ Supports hormonal balance
✔ Improves digestion & immunity

Why Choose a Series?
Since collagen renewal takes time, a course of treatments (typically 6–12 sessions) ensures optimal lifting, firming, and rejuvenation. Precision needling delivers visible, long-lasting results—naturally.

Contraindications
Pregnancy
Uncontrolled high blood pressure Hemophilia or other bleeding disorders
Severe migraines triggered by needling
Active skin infections, herpes, or open wounds
Recent Botox or fillers (wait at least 2-4 weeks)
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
Precautions:
Diabetes (delayed healing, risk of bruising)
Use of blood thinners (higher risk of bruising and bleeding)
Recent facial surgery (must be fully healed and cleared by a physician)
Patients with severe anxiety or needle phobia
Autoimmune skin conditions (e.g., active lupus, psoriasis)
Neurological conditions affecting facial muscles (e.g., Bell’s Palsy, Myasthenia Gravis – requires specialized approach)
Vertigo

Crystal Lane is a Licensed Acupuncturist in Connecticut and Michigan. She is a National Board Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture with the National Certification Commision for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She graduated with the degree of Master of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Studies, and Bachelor of Health Science from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, Florida in 2021.

Prior to her career in Acupuncture she worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist in the states of Michigan, Georgia, and Florida. Crystal fell in love with Bodywork after a strenuous career in Social Work. Through her career in Social Work alongside her background studies in Counseling Psychology she began to realize change needed to happen on a physical level. Change is almost always hard for individuals and Crystal realized the growth that needed to happen was often impeded from energy stuck in the body. She decided to leave her career in Social Work to pursue Bodywork to help people free blockages physically so they can move forward. Therapeutic Massage was an excellent modality to bring about these changes, but Crystal found her real passion in Acupuncture. She discovered that the alchemy of the needles used in Acupuncture work on such a deep level to not only relieve pain and symptoms, but to also bring about real, lasting change.

In her practice she works with the Five Element tradition to see each person in their unique strengths and character. They can become so clouded by imbalance or illness that the person can lose sight of who they truly are. Crystal listens with her heart to hear her clients’ story as well as listening to their pulses (the 12 meridian pathways in Acupuncture) to make the perfect individualized treatment plan. Her method is to treat the root of the imbalance rather than chasing symptoms. The Five Element tradition provides a truly holistic system of medicine by addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments together in every treatment.

Crystal has helped clients with a number of ailments including, anxiety and depression, arthritis and pain, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, insomnia, headaches and migraines, infertility and menstrual disorders, skin conditions, effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and more. Chances are that whatever ails you Acupuncture can help with.

In her spare time Crystal loves spending time with her family including her fiancé, stepdaughter, parents, brothers, nieces, and her large in-law Polish family. She has two cats named Ming and Monaghan that she spoils way too much. She loves swimming, hiking, ceremony, meditation, traveling, adventures, and getting cozy with a good movie or show. She loves to laugh. One of her passions in life is to help remind people that even though things can be dark and dreary there is always a glimmer of light shining through. Gratitude for the simple things in life we take for granted helps give perspective.
