Acupuncture

Personalized Care Rooted in Ancient Healing

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body to promote balance and healing. In Western medical terms, this practice is believed to influence the nervous system, blood circulation, and immune function. Acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin at strategic points, where they may trigger the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters. This process can help reduce pain, improve circulation, regulate bodily functions, and enhance the body’s natural healing response. From a neurobiological perspective, acupuncture may activate pathways that modulate pain signals and reduce inflammation, supporting overall wellness. Additionally, acupuncture is thought to influence the autonomic nervous system, helping to regulate stress and emotional well-being. By promoting a balanced flow of energy, acupuncture supports the body's innate ability to maintain health and homeostasis.

Facial Rejuvenation

Natural Beauty Enhancement, From the Inside Out

Our Facial Rejuvenation service focuses on Cosmetic Acupuncture, a generally non-invasive, results-driven treatment that rejuvenates the skin and promotes a natural, glowing complexion. By using ultra-fine, sterilized needles, cosmetic acupuncture stimulates key acupuncture points on the face to enhance blood circulation, boost collagen production, and promote cellular regeneration. This targeted approach helps to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging by strengthening the skin’s elasticity and firming the facial muscles. Incorporating body acupuncture into the treatment enhances the results by addressing internal imbalances that can affect skin health. By stimulating acupuncture points along the body, this therapy helps balance the body's energy flow (Qi), improve digestion, reduce stress, regulate hormones, and support overall wellness. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, cosmetic acupuncture helps address common skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, and uneven skin tone. Acupunctury also further enhances care by incorporating the Celluma LED Light Therapy device in our Cosmetic Acupuncture service. Patients often notice improvements after just a few sessions, including smoother skin, a reduction in puffiness, diminished acne scars, and a more youthful appearance. Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural alternative to Botox and dermal fillers, providing lasting results without the need for injections or downtime. It’s the perfect solution for clients seeking a holistic and effective way to enhance their beauty from the inside out.

Holistic Microneedling

HOLISTIC MICRONEEDLING

Revitalize Skin + Qi from Within

Holistic Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is an advanced, results-oriented skincare treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and encouraging collagen and elastin production. This process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, surgical scars, scars from trauma, and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin smoother, firmer, and rejuvenated. Treatments are customized based on your goals and may include the face, neck and décolletage. Most clients undergo a series of 4 to 8 sessions, typically scheduled once per month. Visible improvements in skin texture, tone, firmness, and elasticity often begin after just one to two treatments. For optimal results, a series of treatments is essential. With proper maintenance, results can be long-lasting and continue to evolve over time. In our acupuncture practice, we enhance the microneedling experience by incorporating comprehensive body acupuncture points. These body acupuncture points help address underlying issues that contribute to skin health, such as hormonal imbalances, digestive health, stress, and circulation. By harmonizing the body's internal systems, body acupuncture supports the microneedling process, boosting the skin’s ability to heal and regenerate. This holistic approach ensures that not only is the skin treated directly, but the root causes of skin concerns are also addressed, leading to better, longer-lasting results.

Facial Cupping & Gua Sha

Sculpt, Refresh, and Glow Naturally

Facial cupping and gua sha are two therapeutic modalities that offer powerful benefits for various facial conditions, blending ancient techniques with modern wellness practices. Facial Cupping involves the use of small, specialized suction cups placed on the face to create a gentle vacuum effect. This process stimulates blood circulation, helping to increase oxygen and nutrient flow to the skin. From a Western medical perspective, facial cupping works by enhancing microcirculation, which supports the skin’s natural detoxification process by promoting lymphatic drainage and reducing puffiness. It also helps improve collagen production and skin elasticity, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Additionally, it helps to relieve facial muscle tension, which can be particularly beneficial for conditions like TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and sinus congestion. Gua Sha uses a smooth, flat tool to gently glide over the skin in upward motions. The technique stimulates blood flow and promotes lymphatic drainage, helping to release built-up toxins and reduce inflammation. Gua sha works by encouraging the movement of fluid and blood beneath the skin, improving circulation and supporting the body’s natural detoxification process. This helps to lift and tighten the skin, reduce puffiness, smooth out fine lines, and promote an overall more youthful, glowing appearance. Gua sha can also help relax the facial muscles, reducing tension and stress, which can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Both facial cupping and gua sha are effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including: Fine lines and wrinkles Puffiness and facial swelling Acne and acne scars Dull skin and uneven skin tone TMJ discomfort Sinus congestion General skin rejuvenation Note: Not recommended during pregnancy.
