Acupuncture is an ancient practices that reminds the body how to function so healing can take place. When needles are inserted into specific points a cascade of chemical reactions is initiated through the body which allows healing to unfold. Acupuncture has a wide range of application and can be used to treat injuries and pain, mental/emotional issues, stress, post stroke sequela, concussions, allergies, digestion disorder, and so much more.
Cosmetic acupuncture works with the body to stimulate production of collagen and elastin and improves circulation to the face to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment has the ability to improve symmetry and lift the face, enhances muscle tone, and improves the overall sense of wellbeing.. Cosmetic acupuncture is also an excellent option for individuals who are struggling with TMJ disorder, post stroke facial paralysis, and Bell's palsy.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses several very fine, short stainless-steel needles in an oscillating motion to initiate a healing response that results in skin transformation. This treatment increases the absorption of topical serums up to 2000% and can improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and evens out skin tone. While microneedling is commonly done on the face, it can be done on other parts of the body to treat scaring, hair loss, and hyperpigmentation. Microneedling can be done once a month.
Nanoneedling encompasses the same concept as microneedling but uses a silicone tips instead of needles. This process penetrates the shallowest layer of the skin for better product absorption. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include cellular turnover, improved pigmentation, and an immediate radiant glow. This treatment can be done once a week and is perfect for treating delicate areas around the eyes and lips.
