If you’re searching for a more natural way to rejuvenate your skin, smooth fine lines, and restore a youthful glow, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and APIT may be exactly what you’re looking for.

At ilumina Healing Sanctuary in Scottsdale, AZ, we offer an integrative, non-surgical treatment that combines traditional facial acupuncture with homeopathic facial injections using GUNA Collagen and GUNA MADE.

The GUNA Collagen and GUNA MADE combination used in our Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT)—helps your body rebuild collagen naturally, improve skin tone, and soften visible signs of aging—without toxins, fillers, or downtime.

What Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a centuries-old practice that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the face and body. These points increase circulation, relax facial tension, and encourage the body to produce collagen and elastin, two key proteins that keep skin firm and youthful.

In modern practice, facial acupuncture is often called a “natural facelift” because it helps to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Lift and tone sagging skin
• Improve complexion and glow
• Relieve jaw tension and puffiness
• Support a balanced, relaxed facial expression

Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing, with visible improvements often appearing after just a few sessions.

What Is APIT (Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy)?

APIT stands for Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy, a gentle technique that combines the precision of acupuncture with the targeted benefits of homeopathic medicine.

Instead of inserting a needle, your practitioner injects a tiny amount of a natural, bio-regulatory solution such as GUNA Collagen or GUNA MADE directly into acupuncture points. These solutions are FDA-registered homeopathic products made in Italy and are designed to stimulate the body’s own healing and regenerative processes.

Meet GUNA Collagen and GUNA MADE

GUNA Collagen: A homeopathic solution made with isotonic sodium chloride at a 6X strength, supporting the physiological functions of collagen and collagen synthesis, elasticity, and hydration. It helps restore structure and firmness to aging or stressed skin.

GUNA MADE: A complementary formula that enhances tissue metabolism, improves tone, and promotes cellular regeneration.

When used together with acupuncture, these injections enhance results by supporting both external skin repair and internal rejuvenation giving you a refreshed, lifted, and naturally radiant appearance.

Why Combine Acupuncture with GUNA Injections?

While facial acupuncture alone is highly effective for skin rejuvenation, combining it with GUNA Collagen and GUNA MADE amplifies the benefits. The acupuncture needles activate the body’s energy and circulation, while the GUNA solutions deliver targeted nutrients to the dermis.

Together, they:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve tone and hydration
• Enhance skin firmness and elasticity
• Promote natural regeneration from within

Unlike Botox or dermal fillers, these treatments work with your body, not against it to create lasting, authentic results.

What to Expect During a Treatment

A typical Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture + APIT Injection session lasts about 60–75 minutes.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Consultation & Assessment: Your practitioner will discuss your facial concerns and goals, as well as evaluate your skin, facial muscle tone, and overall health.
• Facial Acupuncture: Fine needles are gently placed to increase circulation and tone the skin. During your session, body points are also used to balance the full system and help prevent side effects such as headaches from too many facial needles.
• iluminate Cosmetic Acupuncture (optional): If you choose our iluminate Cosmetic Acupuncture, we’ll incorporate facial cupping, gua sha, and jade rolling after the needles are removed for an added sculpting and lymphatic boost.
• GUNA Injections: After acupuncture needles are removed, your practitioner will inject small amounts of GUNA Collagen and GUNA MADE into key acupuncture points or areas of concern to support deeper rejuvenation.
• Relaxation Time: Many patients find the experience meditative and restorative.

After your session, you can resume normal activities immediately. Minor redness at the injection sites typically fades within a few hours. Some patients may experience light bruising at an acupuncture needle or injection site. We recommend avoiding these treatments immediately before major events such as weddings, TV appearances, or photoshoots.

For best results, we suggest a series of 6–10 weekly treatments, followed by maintenance visits every 4–6 weeks.

Why Patients Love This Natural Approach

Phoenix’s desert climate can be tough on the skin. Dry air, sun exposure, and seasonal shifts often lead to dehydration and fine lines. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture with GUNA injections offers a deeply restorative and hydrating approach that helps your skin adapt naturally to the desert environment.

Our patients love this treatment because it:

• Supports graceful aging with natural results
• Avoids the frozen look of Botox or heavy fillers
• Improves overall skin health and vitality
• Feels rejuvenating and balancing from the inside out
