What is What Is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also called facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a gentle and nearly painless treatment that uses very fine needles to stimulate the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. Small, controlled micro-traumas are created at key points on the face to encourage collagen and elastin production, tone facial muscles, improve lymphatic drainage, and increase healthy circulation. This helps smooth fine lines, firm the skin, even out complexion, and create a natural, healthy glow without chemicals, injections, or downtime.
What Makes Lia’s Approach Unique
Lia offers a level of facial expertise that is uncommon in the world of cosmetic acupuncture. Before becoming a licensed acupuncturist, she practiced dentistry in Brazil, a field that requires deep, detailed training in the anatomy and physiology of the face, head, and neck. This background gives her an advanced understanding of facial muscles, nerves, bone structure, and the natural aging process. She brings the same clinical precision and gentle technique used in dentistry to the placement of each acupuncture needle.
Lia has also trained with Michelle Gellis in Los Angeles, one of the most respected leaders in cosmetic acupuncture. By combining medical-level anatomical knowledge with specialized cosmetic acupuncture training, Lia delivers treatments that are safe, highly targeted, and designed to produce natural, balanced, and rejuvenating results. This unique blend of skills sets her apart in the Milwaukee area and allows her to support both the beauty and overall well-being of her clients.

What to Expect During a Session
Your first appointment begins with a detailed intake to identify internal imbalances and clarify your skincare goals. We review your health, lifestyle, and beauty history and use traditional tongue and pulse diagnostics to guide your treatment plan.
Your session begins with a professional cleanse and toner, followed by body acupuncture points that help support healthy Qi and blood flow. Lia then places fine facial needles with precision, tailored to your specific concerns.
The whole treatment includes:
- LED phototherapy and TDP infrared thermotherapy for 30 minutes
- Facial cupping
- Jade Gua Sha
- NuFace microcurrent toning
- A soothing cup of herbal tea to complete the session
Session Length
Each visit lasts approximately 70 to 75 minutes and combines body and facial acupuncture with advanced rejuvenation techniques for a relaxing and effective experience.
Treatment Frequency and Results
- Weeks 1–5: One session per week during the boost phase
- Weeks 6–10: One session every other week
- After the initial series: Maintenance visits every 3 to 4 weeks to preserve results
Many clients notice improvements within the first few sessions, with continued changes as treatments build on each other. Staying well hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and managing stress all help support healthier, longer-lasting results.
With consistent care and monthly tune-up sessions, results can last 4 to 7 years, helping maintain firmness, glow, and overall facial vitality.
Can Cosmetic Acupuncture Replace a Face Lift?
No. Cosmetic acupuncture cannot produce the dramatic lifting effects of a surgical facelift. Instead, it offers a holistic and natural approach to rejuvenation. While surgery tightens the skin externally, cosmetic acupuncture works from within by improving circulation, supporting the body’s healing processes, and addressing the energetic and physiological imbalances that contribute to visible aging. It enhances skin tone, texture, and vitality without the risks, cost, or recovery time associated with surgery.
Whole-Body Benefits
Every cosmetic acupuncture session is also a whole-body treatment. While our focus is the face, we incorporate body points to rebalance your system, improve vitality, and support the underlying factors related to skin health. Many patients report better sleep, reduced stress, improved digestion, and a deep sense of relaxation that lasts for days.
