Our facials are designed for anyone looking to feel (and look) better. Using a full-body, holistic approach, our experts review your medical background, discuss symptoms or skin conditions, and identify areas of the face that may reflect internal imbalances. Every treatment is tailored to your unique goals, supporting both inner harmony and outer radiance.
Acupuncture Facials at ORA Method
Grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our Acupuncture Facials use ultra-fine needles to stimulate collagen, lift and tone facial muscles, and enhance circulation for a natural, expressive glow.
Each treatment works from the inside out, addressing the root causes of skin concerns to promote lasting balance and vitality.
Needle-free Facials at ORA Method
Our Needle-Free Facials combine modern modalities, such as microcurrent, LED therapy, gua sha, and lymphatic drainage massage, to sculpt, firm, and rejuvenate the skin without needles.
These treatments deliver instant results while supporting long-term skin health, leaving you refreshed, radiant, and restored.

Needles or Needle-Free: Two Paths to Radiance
Both types of treatments follow the ORA Method blend of nervous system support, sculpting techniques, and targeted facial work, just with different pathways to results.
The Full ORA Method Experience
The ORA Method Acupuncture Facial delivers our full signature treatment in one session, combining internal alignment with external rejuvenation. It approaches beauty and skin health through balance, circulation, nervous system support, and targeted facial work.
Initial Consultation
Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. You and your practitioner will discuss your wellness goals, skin concerns, lifestyle factors, and areas of tension. Facial mapping helps identify where stress is held in the muscles and where acupuncture points will have the greatest impact. This sets a precise, personalized foundation so the treatment is tailored to what your skin and body need most.
Body Needles
From there, full-body acupuncture is applied to regulate the nervous system, boost circulation, and shift the internal imbalances that contribute to aging, inflammation, breakouts, and dullness. As your body settles into stillness, stagnation starts to release, the mind softens, and circulation increases, allowing deeper healing to take place and preparing the skin to respond more effectively to the facial techniques ahead.
The Facial
Then the full facial begins with a cleansing sequence, followed by sculpting and lymphatic massage to lift contours and reduce puffiness. Your practitioner will use microcurrent and Gua Sha to tone, sculpt, and smooth tension before placing facial needles and applying LED Light Therapy to support collagen, reduce inflammation, and calm the skin at a cellular level. The ritual ends with hydrating, anti-aging finishing care, leaving the complexion renewed, brighter, and more defined long after your appointment.
