Microneedling: A New Treatment for Improving Skin Texture and Appearance

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This allows for better absorption of topical skincare products, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. As a result, microneedling can help to improve a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment that can be performed on all skin types. It is also relatively quick and painless, with most patients experiencing only mild side effects such as redness and swelling.

If you are looking for a new treatment to improve the texture and appearance of your skin, microneedling may be a good option for you. To learn more about microneedling and how it can benefit you, contact our office today.

Acupuncture for Shingles: Can It Help?

Shingles, also known as Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. The rash usually appears on one side of the body, but it can also appear on the face or neck. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus stays dormant in your body. It can reactivate years later and cause shingles.

There is no cure for shingles, but there are treatments that can help relieve the symptoms. Acupuncture is one treatment that has been shown to be effective in relieving the pain and discomfort of shingles.

 

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are called acupuncture points. When needles are inserted into these points, it is shown that they can help to eliminate pain. 

There is some evidence that acupuncture can be effective in treating shingles. A 2018 study found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with shingles. The study also found that acupuncture was well-tolerated and did not have any serious side effects.

Another study, published in 2019, found that acupuncture combined with conventional shingles treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving function. The evidence suggests that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for shingles.

Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia: Can It Help?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain and fatigue. It is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as sleep problems, cognitive difficulties, and mood disorders. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including fibromyalgia. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. When needles are inserted into acupuncture points, it is believed that they can help to balance the nervous system and reduce pain.

A 2018 systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with fibromyalgia. The review also found that acupuncture was well-tolerated and did not have any serious side effects.

Another study, published in 2019, found that acupuncture combined with conventional fibromyalgia treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving function.
