Cosmetic Acupuncture

what is facial rejuvenation?

Like acupuncture, the art of facial rejuvenation has been practiced for centuries. Combining the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine and its approach to holistic healing from the inside out, with a dermatologist level understanding of the skin, facial acupuncture can help revive, refresh, and uplift skin that is tired or damaged without the use of injections, fillers, or surgery.

Altering and addressing the flow of energy within the body makes it possible to kickstart the process of rejuvenation, allowing the muscles and lymphatic system to begin functioning at optimal capacity.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a safe, gentle, and effective treatment to stimulate the bodies own ability to bring greater health. Microneedling minimizes the appearance of fine lines, scarring and hyperpigmentation by creating micro-channels in the skin to allow increased product absorption as well as increase the bodies natural collagen and elastin production.

““Why could people in ancient times live to be over a hundred, without showing any signs of aging, and today people look and feel old at fifty?” – The Yellow Emperor

Qibo answered:
”People in ancient times knew the Dao and understood how to preserve health by following the laws of yin & yang. They were moderate in eating and drinking, had regular schedules for work and rest, and avoided overstraining. That’s how they maintained harmony between their Shen and body and lived so long””

— The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine

How It Works & what to expect

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Tiny, hair thin needles, are inserted into the face and neck in order to stimulate the body’s production of elastin and collagen. Needles may also be added around the ears to induce relaxation during your treatment. Stimulation of the facial muscles allows the face to lift itself via the points addressed and begin the healing process.

Our goal is to provide you with a pain free, therapeutic experience. Complex skin issues will be addressed with a Chinese Medicine perspective to healing from the inside out, and dietary and lifestyle suggestions may be made. During your treatment we may incorporate facial cupping or massage where needed, as well as gua sha techniques. If you have pain or imbalance throughout your body, needles can be added to problem areas during your session.

For best results treatments are usually recommended weekly for 8-10 sessions. With Facial Rejuvenation you can return to play right away.

Microneedling

Working from a longevity standpoint microneedling works with the body’s own ability to repair it’s self. First a numbing mask is applied to the face to ease any discomfort you may feel. A microneedling pen, with hair like needles, is run all over the face addressing any complex skin issues and desires by creating tiny channels through the skin at depth of .5mm-2.5mm, allowing us to infuse serums and active ingredients more efficiently. This treatment will stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone while removing the appearance of scars, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. An LED light therapy mask and a cooling mask are applied post treatment leaving the face with a healthy natural glow.

To produce longer lasting results usually 3-5 treatments are recommended once a month depending on age, skin type and lifestyle choices.

We recommend you stay out of the sun and do not sweat for a minimum of 48 hours.

Nanoneedling

Nano needling is designed to exfoliate the skin and stimulate cell turnover to absorb serums. Nano needling cartridges are silicone tipped, are gentler on the skin, and only penetrate superficial layers of the skin to .25mm depth.
