Skin Effects
It is noteworthy that in both spicule use and cosmetic acupuncture, microtrauma is the main principle that stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration.
Spicules cause shallow micro-traumas over a wide area, while acupuncture can cause deeper, more focused micro-traumas to specific points. Oriental medicine uses the principle that controlled micro-damage can activate the body's natural healing power and promote regeneration. In addition, the fact that spicules can form microscopic channels in the skin to improve local blood circulation is related to the Oriental medicine's emphasis on the importance of blood circulation. Oriental medicine considers healthy blood circulation to be essential for nourishing the skin and maintaining a radiant complexion.
The improvement of microcirculation by spicules may contribute to the skin improvement effect sought in Oriental medicine through improved blood circulation. Considering the dense network of nerves in the skin and the potential connection of these nerve endings with meridian pathways, it cannot be ruled out that the broad skin stimulation of spicules may have a subtle effect on the flow of qi even if it does not directly stimulate specific acupoints.

Path to Skin Renewal
In Oriental medicine, skin health is believed to depend on the harmonious flow of energy and blood within the body.
In Eastern medicine, Qi is regarded as vital life energy that flows throughout the body via meridian pathways, while Blood nourishes tissues and supports circulation. The balance of Yin and Yang is considered essential for overall health—particularly skin health. Rather than viewing skin conditions as isolated issues, Eastern medicine interprets them as external manifestations of internal organ imbalances or disruptions in the flow of Qi and Blood. Among these, the Lung meridian is believed to be closely linked to the skin; weakened lung function can lead to dryness or sensitivity. Key acupuncture points related to facial skin wellness include Hegu and Quchi, which help calm inflammation and soothe the skin; Zusanli, which promotes blood circulation and enhances immunity; and Sanyinjiao, often used to alleviate dryness and itching. These points may be associated with specific neural pathways, and their stimulation is expected to improve localized blood flow and regulate nerve activity. Facial acupuncture, in particular, is known for targeting these points to enhance skin tone, reduce wrinkles, and promote a healthy complexion.

When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific meridian points, they stimulate sensory nerve endings in the skin. This stimulation sends signals to the spinal cord and brain, promoting the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and serotonin. These substances not only alleviate pain but also help regulate mood and reduce inflammation. Acupuncture also modulates the autonomic nervous system, enhancing microcirculation in the skin. Some studies suggest it may positively affect the immune system and mitigate inflammatory responses. In Eastern medicine, facial acupuncture is considered effective for skin regeneration by promoting the circulation of Qi and Blood, delivering nutrients to the skin, stimulating collagen production to improve elasticity, and restoring internal balance—such as excess heat or dampness—that may cause skin issues. Additionally, acupuncture can help relieve stress and tension, potentially slowing the aging process. Cosmetic acupuncture often utilizes the concept of microtrauma, where fine needle stimulation encourages skin rejuvenation by triggering the body's natural healing response.
