Natural non-invasive treatment to prevent and reduce wrinkles using the ancient beauty secret of Chinese medicine. Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is an ancient beauty secret used by women as a non-toxic way to minimize fine lines and wrinkles from the face. It reduces the signs of aging by renewing the glow of the skin and providing a youthful look to the face.
Everything was fine afterwards. I didn't have any side effects at all-no redness, no nothing. So no one could tell I had done the treatment. But one interesting thing that has happened is that the strange bout of acne I had been suffering from since February just randomly cleared up and is now completely gone from my face and is starting to clear up the old red traces that had been there for the past few months. I had never in my life experienced acne until February and it was really acute for much of this past year.
I came to Romy because I met a woman who is my age and looked 20 years younger. I asked her "HOW?" And she said Dr. Romy. I had loose skin under my chin, and wrinkles and sagging skin around my mouth. Within 3-5 treatments (I can't remember) the loose skin under my chin was GONE! She continues to work on my cheeks and jowl lines and it truly is amazing how they are getting smoother and how they are disappearing.

I had the most amazing experience, Dr. Romy is a dream! She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, took the time with me each session to talk and understand my concerns and needs and made me feel very comfortable. The session was so relaxing and I could not recommend it more. I already feel results are showing after 3 sessions, I'm radiant, less anxious, and wrinkles are reducing. Her energy is so calming, and I feel better in my mind, body, and soul, I can't wait to go back. Thanks again, Dr. Romy!

Romy is the best! I initially sought her out because I thought my skin was looking tired and dull, and traditional facials were not giving me the results I was wanting. I like the idea of cosmetic acupuncture because it doesn't involve injecting chemicals into my face but has the potential of similar results. At first meeting with Romy, I immediately felt comfortable.
The thought of having needles stuck in your face can be a little disturbing, but Romy is very gentle. By the second treatment, my face/skin loved the needles and practically sucked them in. Romy not only works on your skin with needles, she works with you. Romy's philosophy is that overall well-being will be reflected in the skin. Beauty is not just skin deep.
Take care of your soul and you will see it in your face. I trust Romy so much that I am able to discuss anything with her. She's helped me work through personal issues that I didn't think I'd be able to tackle. My appointments with Romy have become a haven where I feel safe and can take the time to be introspective. I always leave feeling rejuvenated, uplifted and strong and you can see it in my skin.
Immediately after treatment with Romy, I look rested, smooth and glowing. If I go out, even if just to the hardware store, after a treatment with Romy, someone always comments on my skin, my glow. I'm really pleased with the physical results, my skin is tighter and smoother. But for me, the most surprising and valuable result is the impact Romy has had on my emotional well-being. Thank you Romy!

Romy is the absolute best! I'm getting married soon and wanted to give my skin a boost without risking side effects of harsher methods that could ruin my skin instead. I've tried different acupuncturists in the past, so I know when someone is good and when someone is not. Romy is GREAT! I just finished my series with her and my smile lines are smoother, my face is more glowing, and I'm getting a lot of random compliments on my skin.
On top of that, her sessions really helped me relieve the stress I've been dealing with lately. She treats the whole person, and I felt better after each session. She is lovely and you can tell she really cares about her clients.

I found Dr Romy Simone on line after seeing her segment on the Doctors and E! My husband and I make frequent trips to Santa Monica and stay at Shutters for personal and business trips. I found it very easy to book an appointment with her online and was very excited to experience a more natural approach to diminishing wrinkles and fine lines to Botox.
I met Dr Romy and from the initial first minutes of our appointment her gentle South African Aura put me immediately at ease. She explained to me how the needles in my face would stimulate collagen and smooth out wrinkles. My husband immediately noticed my glowing skin and asked me what I had done! Not only did the treatment freshen my tired skin but it was amazingly relaxing - like a 5 hour massage! Nicole R, Princeton, NJ

Working with Dr. Romy Simone is amazing on all levels. I thought I was just going for facial rejuvenation acupuncture but what I received was so much more. She's a great listener and is totally tuned into her patients' needs. Just a few sessions in I was with someone I hadn't seen in months who couldn't believe how good I looked. And a few weeks later, my brother, a plastic surgeon who I also hadn't seen in a few months couldn't believe how good my skin looked. Thank you Dr. Romy. I'll be back!

Acupuncture treatment with Romy has by far been one of the best things I have experienced! I have always been intrigued by acupuncture and never realized the amazing effects it can have on your skin until I came across Romy's website. Immediately impressed with her experience and credentials, I called to inquire about a consultation and was so pleasantly surprised that Romy herself called me back and was so kind and patient with all of my questions.
During my consultation, she spent a great deal of time discussing my skin concerns as well as my overall wellness goals and I instantly felt comfortable with her and the tranquil/calming office. Her unique approach and warm demeanor were so singular and I knew I had taken the first step to not only potentially improve my outer appearance, but also my general state of well-being.
My sessions over a ten-week period flew by and each treatment was honestly extraordinary. I just turned 33 and felt as though my face constantly looked tired and dull, especially after long hours in the office. After my first session, I immediately noticed a dewy glow over my skin and my face constantly improved and became tighter and smoother moving forward.
I have always wanted a natural and comprehensive approach to looking great and she is the epitome of this concept. Romy's method of needling is absolutely painless and I truly felt like she was so engaged and present during each of my sessions. She always remembered details from our previous conversations and took the extra time to e-mail me recommendations regarding products and reading material.
In addition to the cosmetic aspect of treatment, Romy was able to understand my overarching goals of feeling more connected with my mind and body and she slowly worked with me to provide the right tools for this process. It is such a pleasure to articulate how truly remarkable my experience has been - I just finished my sessions and without a doubt would like to continue seeing Romy to maintain the positive momentum.
I not only feel much more confident about my appearance, but I have also gained a different perspective on so many things throughout our many valuable conversations. I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to engage in such a unique process that makes me feel and look great at the same time! Romy is absolutely wonderful and the amount of care and positive energy she practices in just one session is unparalleled.

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Simone! I went in initially to have some fine wrinkles smoothed out and so far I am seeing wonderful results. It's great having a boost of glow back in the skin but the real glow up she has helped with was on the inside. Dr. Simone has helped me out a lot on an emotional/soul level. She has guided me with her wisdom and has helped with healing my inner child during the sessions I've had with her, as well as shed light on my spiritual journey. She is an incredible healer, a great listener and has a beautiful compassionate heart. I can't recommend her enough for an all around holistic experience :

It's a fortunate circumstance that we see Dr Romy not only for Chinese medicine and acupuncture but simultaneously for psychological consultation that make growth and healing a natural outcome. 14 years as clients of yours has truly changed, enhanced, nourished and broadened our lives and our health.

I have had the pleasure of two acupuncture treatments with Romy. I was a little worried about the first treatment because I have never had cosmetic acupuncture. Romy asked me about my facial concerns and put me at ease with her delicate technique. I did not feel any of the needles and had a healthy glow after one treatment. On my second appointment, Romy spent a great deal of time with me discovering what was going on with both my physical and emotional state.
She helped me be mindful while treating my body through acupuncture. That treatment felt like therapy and I worked through a lot of blocks. I always look forward to my appointments with Romy!

I've always struggled with my skin-- and have tried almost everything that's available to improve it! I've never had Acupuncture- and wasn't sure if a few little needles would make any improvement- but Dr. Romy Simone came with some good recommendations. So i checked out her website -- liked what i saw, and figured I'd give it a shot. First off- let me say that Dr. Romy Simone looks so cute and fresh- and has such a great energy- (she barely looks like shes old enough to be a doctor)--- but you immediately want to try whatever she's been doing-- because its obviously working!
She is a walking billboard of her results! Dr. Romy is so cool and easy going-- that you don't feel like you're even at a doctor's visit- and barely notice all the needles that she's painlessly placing all over your face. I ended up doing a series of 9 treatments over 3 weeks-- and was really surprised by the improvement in texture and health of my skin.
It was finally clearing up and feeling like normal skin-- and my pores no longer seemed like the angry monsters that they've been for ever! Also my face seemed lifted and tighter and firmer! My skin seems to really be responding to the increased stimulation-- and is coming back to life-- after years of stagnation! I'm really happy with the results Ive gotten so far-- and plan to continue seeing Dr. Romy!
I just did a photo shoot over the week end- for the 1st time in years i was brave enough to take new head shots-- and my pictures came out great! i defiantly recommend Dr Romy Simone-- you will really be surprised and pleased by the before and after pictures she takes for you!

Romy is a true healer whose work is exceptional. Few complimentary practitioners combine their training and expertise with such a high level of intuitive knowledge. I felt complete confidence in her ability from the moment we met and she was able to greatly accelerate my post surgery wound healing. In addition Romy's nutritional and homeopathic recommendations were very helpful and individualized to my specific issues.
Any treatment or healing process naturally benefits from a relational component and it would be impossible not to feel cared for by Romy, whose integrity in service to her clients well being is unquestionable.

I cannot truly describe how completely amazing this method of acupuncture is. I wanted an alternative to Botox... something natural. I absolutely wanted to get rid of my fine lines but wasn't incredibly interested in injecting myself with poisons. I wasn't 100% sold that acupuncture could work in this form, but it really does!!! After one treatment I could already notice a difference!
The experience with Romy is more than just getting rid of your wrinkles. It's a transformation in a way. Something about her helps more than just your outward appearance. She has the ability to help you heal your intrinsic you. That is what makes her unique and stand out from all the rest. Beyond that, my fine lines have dramatically faded away. I am tremendously pleased with the results.

Romy's results are truly significant. Within a week of her facial acupuncture sessions, people spontaneously started telling me how great my skin looked, how well I looked...and I felt more vitality and less stressed out, too. She was also amazing after I had serious injuries from a fall: her treatments enabled me to handle pain without taking strong prescription medications that would have prevented my driving or working.
