Reserve Your First VisitThe Return Behind the Glow
There is a movement happening online right now. Women are putting two photos of themselves side by side. In the first one, she is still inside a relationship that asked her to shrink and to doubt herself. In the second one, she has left, and she has remembered who she is. You can see it in her eyes and in her skin, in the way her whole face softens back into itself. People call it a glow up. I call it a return.
I work with women who are coming out of relationships and seasons that dimmed them. Being unseen for so long lives in the body. It settles into the jaw, into the brow, into the breath, and into the skin. When a woman finally turns back toward herself, her face wants to follow, and aesthetic acupuncture is one of the ways I help her get there.
Your radiance was never lost. It was only waiting for you to come home.
What Aesthetic Acupuncture Offers
Aesthetic acupuncture uses very fine needles to bring circulation, collagen, and lymphatic flow back to the surface of the skin. The work is gentle, and it builds over a series of treatments, as your skin remembers how to feed itself again.
Softness
Fine lines ease as the face lets go of the tension it has been holding.
Brightness
Color and light come back to a complexion that stress had quietly drained.
Lift
Circulation and collagen wake up, and the face firms and tones from within.
Calm
The jaw, the brow, and the breath let go, and the whole face settles.
The Science Beneath the Glow
Facial acupuncture works in partnership with your body. The fine needles make tiny, controlled points of stimulation in the skin, and your body responds the way it already knows how to. It sends fresh blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the area, and it gently calls up more collagen and elastin. Circulation rises, the muscles of the face come into a more even tone, and the lymphatic system clears what leaves skin puffy and dull.
Because I am an Acupuncture Physician, I am never only treating the surface. I read the face as a map of the whole body, and I needle the body too, so we are caring for your digestion, your sleep, your hormones, and your nervous system at the same time. We work from the inside out and the outside in at once.
Facial acupuncture is also cumulative. One treatment feels lovely and leaves you glowing, and the deeper changes in tone and firmness build over a series, as your skin is reminded again and again how to nourish and renew itself. This is slow medicine, and it rewards consistency.
Biopuncture, a Natural Layer of Collagen Support
Alongside facial acupuncture, I am also trained in biopuncture, also called acupoint injection. It is a gentle method that uses natural, homeopathic preparations to encourage your skin to build its own collagen. Because the collagen is your own, your beauty stays unmistakably yours.
Deeper Than Skin Deep
This is full body acupuncture as much as it is facial acupuncture. I needle the face, and I needle the body, and where it helps you I add herbs and gentle cleansing, because the skin is the surface of everything happening underneath it.
In Chinese medicine, the Lung governs the skin. When the Lung is nourished and the breath moves freely, the skin is fed, protected, and able to glow. The Lung is paired with the Large Intestine, and when elimination is clear and the body is clean, the skin no longer has to carry what the body could not let go of. And when the Liver is doing its work well, that ease shows up in the complexion.
This is deeper than skin deep.
What Working Together Looks Like
We begin with a conversation
We talk about your health, your history, and what your body has been carrying. I want to understand the whole woman before I ever pick up a needle.
We tend the whole system
Together we look at your nourishment, your hydration, your rest, your movement, and your nervous system, so that your radiance has somewhere to grow from.
We treat the face within the body
Through a series of gentle facial treatments, we wake up circulation and collagen while the deeper healing keeps going underneath.
We let radiance return
As the body softens and remembers it is safe, your essence rises to the surface, and beauty becomes the natural expression of a woman who is well.
Your Visit, Honestly
Your first visit
Your first visit is the longest, because we begin with a real conversation about your health and your history before any needles. Follow-up visits move gently into the treatment itself.
How it feels
The needles are far finer than the ones used for injections, and most women are surprised by how gentle the work feels. The nervous system tends to settle deeply.
After your visit
You can return to your day right away. Now and then a single point leaves a small mark that fades within days, and otherwise you simply carry your glow back out into the world.
The rhythm of the work
I recommend coming twice a week for six weeks, a full series of twelve treatments, followed by a gentle maintenance rhythm. I also offer packages of five and eight.
Going Deeper, One on One
Not everyone who finds this page lives in Fort Lauderdale, and not all of this work happens with needles. So much of the return I am describing is inner work. I offer that work one on one, online, wherever you are in the world.
If This Is You
This work is for you if you recognize yourself here.
- You are emerging from a relationship or a season that asked you to shrink, and you are ready to come home to yourself.
- You want to care for your skin in a way that honors your whole body, your history, and your spirit.
- You are tired of being told there is something wrong with you that needs fixing.
- You want to age into yourself, becoming more fully who you are with every year.
- You are drawn to beauty that is built from health, hydration, rest, and reverence.
- You want a provider who is grounded, present, and real with you.
I Have Lived This
During the pandemic, I gave my time to caring for myself and embodying my goddess self. I was intentional about it, and I know what that devotion takes, because I lived it. That is how I walked into my fortieth year.
As I prepare to enter my forty sixth year, I am just as committed to my own care, even while I am the caretaker for both of my parents. I know what it takes to keep choosing myself, and I keep choosing it.
Three years ago I became ill, and I was given medication that harmed my nervous system. For a time I did not look like myself at all. When I recovered, I was able to embody my beauty again. So when I speak about returning home to your own radiance, I am speaking from my own body. I know the stakes, because I have been there.
I know what it takes, because I have lived it.
Who You Are Working With
I am Valencie Exceus, AP, Acupuncture Physician, board certified, with twenty years of practice. I studied facial acupuncture during my training in Oriental medicine, and I have practiced it with patients across many settings since. I offer this work here in Fort Lauderdale, at All Natural Wellness Center. I have additional training in biopuncture, so I can offer you more than needles alone.
I bring the training, the precision, and twenty years of clinical experience, and I bring my whole heart and spirit to the woman in front of me. You get both from me.
