How does facial dry needling work?
Facial dry needling works by stimulating trigger points and releasing muscle tension in the facial area. The fine needles create a small lesion in the muscle, which increases blood flow and promotes healing. This can help reduce pain and improve muscle function.
Is facial dry needling painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during facial dry needling. The sensation can vary, but many describe it as a slight prick or pressure. Any discomfort typically subsides quickly, and the benefits often outweigh the temporary discomfort.

A typical facial dry needling session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s needs.
Are there any side effects of facial dry needling?
Side effects are generally minimal and may include mild bruising, redness, or temporary soreness at the needle insertion sites. Serious side effects are rare. Your therapist will discuss any potential risks with you before starting treatment.
How many sessions of facial dry needling will I need?
The number of sessions required varies based on the condition, its severity, and the individual’s response to treatment. Some patients may see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing treatment for optimal results.
Can facial dry needling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, facial dry needling can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other therapies such as manual therapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Combining treatments can enhance overall results and address multiple aspects of your condition.
