What is an Acupuncture Facial?

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a centuries old practice. It is a gentle, effective and safe way to erase years from your face without the risks and downtime of surgery and injections.  In facial rejuvenation acupuncture very thin, one time use needles are placed in various points in order to build collagen, tone muscles, improve circulation and stimulate blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, pigment changes, rashes or toxic build up of chemicals. Facial acupuncture is much more than a cosmetic procedure. Acupuncture changes the energy flow in your body and initiates the process of whole body rejuvenation. If energy is not flowing freely through your body than your organs, muscles, and lymphatic system cannot function properly, which can contribute to puffiness, bags and premature aging.

What is Facial Cupping?

Facial cupping can transform your appearance by increasing blood flow to the skin, draining stagnant fluids and easing puffiness. Facial cups are small and come in various sizes that are especially designed for your face. Unlike body cupping, the cups are not retained, thus they will not leave marks or bruising. After applying an organic lotion, a small cup is moved along your face and down the neck to drain lymphatic fluid or to stimulate blood flow or it is held briefly over certain muscles or wrinkles to increase blood flow to that area. Facial cupping is entirely painless and not irritating to the skin. 

What is Facial Gua Sha?

Facial Gua Sha is a technique in which specially crafted hand held pieces of smooth jade are used to move lymphatic fluids, improve facial circulation, and release facial fascia to minimize wrinkles, lift and tone sagging skin. It can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, melasma, and dark circles. Facial Gua She is used as part of a comprehensive acupuncture facial rejuvenation program for wrinkles, sagging and puffiness. 

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as, collagen induction therapy (CIT), is performed by using a hand held device containing sterilized micro needles to create micro channels in the skin which significantly increase the production of collagen and elastin to leave the skin smoother, fresher, and more uniform. Microneedling can improve facial texture and firmness, as well as reduce scars, fine lines, and hyper-pigmentation. The device we use is from MD Pen.

What is a Celluma LED Facial?

LED Light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to address wrinkles or acne. LED light therapy effects the skin on a cellular level - increasing ATP production and fighting bacteria which causes some kinds of acne. Research has shown that LED light therapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture and clarity. The results over continuous sessions are noticeable and long lasting.

What is the ideal age to start holistic skin rejuvenation?

You can start at any age! Collagen, which exists naturally in your skin as a structural support, gradually breaks down due to the aging process starting in your mid to late thirties.  It is always easier to prevent aging than to correct it. We have many clients in their late thirties and forties come in as a preventative measure and to treat fine lines.  We also have many clients in their fifties, sixties and even seventies who are looking for more corrective work.

How long until I get results?

The number of treatments depends of the client's age and skin goals. While many begin to see improvements after the first 3-4 acupuncture facial treatments, it is generally after 10 treatments that you will see lasting improvements. Microneedling usually take between 4-6 treatments for best results.
