Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that promotes the body's natural healing processes. Chinese medicine views the body as a systematic whole that works to maintain a harmonious balance. When symptoms arise, it is our body’s way of communicating to us that something is out of harmony. Acupuncture utilizes the body’s own energy to correct internal imbalances. Acupuncture helps bring the body back to a homeostatic state by regulating the nervous system, increasing blood flow, improving circulation and strengthening normal bodily functions. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into precise acupuncture points. The patient’s signs, symptoms and health patterns help to determine which points to use. When our bodies have more abundant resources, we are able to recover from conditions more quickly and are strong enough to prevent illness from arising.
Most people assume that the needles we use are the same as those used to draw blood or give an injection. Acupuncture needles are quite different. They don’t create the painful sensation associated with getting a shot. People generally find acupuncture treatments to be relaxing and rejuvenating. All needles used at our facility are sterile, single use only, and are disposed of properly.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a gentle, safe, and effective way to address signs of aging. Facial acupuncture helps to promote blood flow to the face, support facial muscles, and build collagen. With regular treatments, you can see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, facial puffiness, drooping, and sagging. This treatment is more than just a cosmetic treatment. Since we are still utilizing body acupuncture points, we are helping the body balance the flow of energy and support your own unique constitution. At this visit, you will receive a customized acupuncture treatment on the face and body, along with facial cupping and guasha.
Each body is different, and depending on age and concern, we will develop a treatment plan to meet your needs. A standard course of treatment is weekly treatments for 12 weeks. Afterwards, we will reevaluate your progress and determine how to proceed. For maintenance treatments, we recommend treatments on a monthly basis to supplement your home skin care practice.

Cupping
|
Cupping involves the application of suction using either glass or plastic cups. When the suction is applied to the skin, it essentially creates a reverse massage. Cupping helps separate the myofascia from the muscle in order to release toxins and alleviate painful muscle adhesions. This modality helps to increase blood circulation, relax tight muscles and reduce pain.
This service is included in a standard acupuncture visit if needed, as well as our Deluxe Acupuncture treatment with Laura. We also offer a stand alone cupping session with Laura: 30 minutes for $60. Gua ShaGua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool. We understand this sounds unpleasant. However, this technique is wonderful for releasing tension, breaking up muscle adhesions, and promoting blood flow to an area. When used gently on the face, it can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, minimize puffiness, and sculpt the facial muscles.
