Acupuncture - Follow Up

A follow up can only be scheduled after an initial consult. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and prepare for your relaxing needle nap!Your acupuncture session may include use of a special electromagnetic spectrum lamp (TDP), reiki or gua sha. Add on cupping, Estim (electronic stimulation), facial acupuncture or nano needling for an additional fee.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:

• Pain reduction
• Stress and tension relief
• Increased energy levels
• Stronger digestion
• Relief from bad habits and addictions
• Greater sense of overall health and well-being

Facial Acupuncture - Initial Consult & Treatment

Facial rejuvenation with acupuncture creates a natural appearance in lieu or in complement to more invasive techniques. An initial consult is required for first-time patients. I use very fine needles into specific points on the face and neck. Please arrive with a clean, makeup free face. We will discuss your goals and problem areas before your needle nap!
Results vary depending upon age, diet and other environmental factors. Result typically seen by the 5th visit; 12 visits typically make a complete series

Facial acupuncture notably improves circulation in the face, causing collagen stimulation and the production of new skin cells. Facial acupuncture can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lift and tone sagging skin, brighten a dull complexion, tighten pores and reduce acne.

Micro-Needling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin using thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin's healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth, and allows serums to penetrate the deeper tissues by 2000%. Microneedling is a popular beauty trend, creating smooth, glowing skin without the pain or downtime of more aggressive procedures. Scientific research shows this popular treatment has the ability to tighten and firm lax skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture.

Nano-Needling

This gentler-than-micro-needling add-on treatment is non-invasive and highly effective as it stimulates collagen and elastin production and increases uptake of serums by 95%. The insertion of multiple fine needles using a medical device penetrate the skin to treat wrinkles, fine lines, scaring, hyperpigmentation, stimulate hair growth and acne. 

Gua Sha

Guasha is an ancient, traditional Chinese method in which a practitioner uses a smooth edged tool to stroke your skin with pressure. This helps promote blood flow and lymphatic circulation to the area which can help release tension, reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Although Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique used by Chinese Medicine practitioners for thousands of years, it is relatively unknown in the West. It is recognized throughout Asia as a highly effective treatment for chronic pain conditions, stress, fatigue, and a host of other ailments. First, Gua Sha oil is applied to a specific meridian (energy pathway) on your body. I then use a smooth round-edged object (such as a spoon) to apply short brisk strokes to that area. This creates red patches of skin (called "Sha"); detoxifying your blood and restoring the healthy flow if Qi (energy) to the area. There is no pain involved, and the Sha will fade in 2 to 3 days. But the sense of health and vitality you experience from it will last much longer.

Cupping

Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.

Please note that the suction force from cupping breaks open tiny blood vessels called capillaries under your skin. You'll have red, round cupping therapy marks that should fade in a week or two. These are painless.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
