Taking care of your beauty isn’t superficial as many of us are taught to believe, but rather, it’s somatic. When you slow down enough to tend to your face, you’re signaling to your nervous system that you are safe. That you're worthy of care and that your radiance matters.

At Instinct, we don’t chase flawlessness, we restore resonance between your inner state and your outer expression. What many of us don’t realize is that when your body is regulated, your skin reflects it.

From a biomedical lens, facial acupuncture supports beauty by supporting biology:

• It increases microcirculation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

• It stimulates fibroblasts, encouraging natural collagen and elastin production.

• It activates neuromuscular points, lifting and retraining facial muscles affected by stress or overuse.

• It promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and fluid retention.

• It calms the sympathetic nervous system, helping to lower cortisol and soften stress-related jaw and brow tension.

And from a Chinese medicine perspective, we treat the whole system always, not just the face. Because your glow is shaped by digestion, sleep, hormones, and emotional flow. Each treatment includes body points to support those root-level functions.

This is not about changing how you look. It’s about returning you to yourself and feeling like yourself again in your skin.
