About Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a personalized wellness treatment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Very thin needles are placed at specific points on the body to support balance, relaxation, and healthy circulation.

At Firefly Spa, your acupuncture treatment may also incorporate complementary therapies such as fire cupping, gua sha, moxibustion (moxa), or electrical stimulation, depending on your needs.

Fire cupping uses gentle suction from glass cups to promote circulation and ease muscle tension. Moxibustion (moxa) uses the gentle warmth of dried mugwort to warm specific acupuncture points and support relaxation and circulation.

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern skincare techniques. Treatments may include facial acupuncture, gua sha, and LED light therapy to support a healthy, radiant complexion and improve the appearance of fine lines, puffiness, discoloration, acne scarring, and dullness without injectables.

What to Expect

Your treatment is customized to your wellness goals. The needles are extremely thin, and most clients experience little to no discomfort. You may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, or relaxation during your session.

Some Common Benefits of Acupuncture
  • Stress relief and relaxation
  • Healthy circulation

Acupuncture Reviews

I went to Firefly Spa in San Diego not knowing what to expect from acupuncture. He did a wonderful job of not only addressing my physical needs, but also educated me on the process and history as well as making me feel totally comfortable in his space. I’ve already booked my next appointment and am trying to get my wife to visit as well. Thanks!!!

I highly recommend acupuncture. I can’t remember the last time I felt so calm and refreshed. This was exactly what I needed, like a deep breath of fresh air. I’m so happy I decided to try out acupuncture. Thank you!!!!

This was honestly amazing. I have always been skeptical about acupuncture but I decided to give it a shot. It’s stunning how it can make your whole week better in just a few minutes. I have recommended 3 coworkers and all have had great experiences and continue to go back.
