Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of Gua Sha
Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of this medicine believe that a person’s qi, or energy, must flow unhindered throughout the body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant, health problems occur. With Gua sha, your acupuncturist uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where inflammation or stagnant qi exist to help improve circulation and promote healing. When done correctly, Gua sha can help you unlock radiant skin and achieve holistic well-being. continue reading
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.
Facial Rejuvenation with Cosmetic Acupuncture
There are countless articles and research papers on the benefits of acupuncture, but did you know that it can also be used to combat the signs of aging? A natural alternative to surgery or Botox, facial acupuncture is merely an extension of traditional acupuncture and Chinese medicine philosophy.
Unlike an injection of Botox or some other filler, facial acupuncture addresses not just the signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles but it also helps to restore your skin’s overall health. Now, you might be worried about acupuncture needles placed in your face, but acupuncture is safe and effective and is recognized by the World Health Organization and there are established guidelines for practice just like any other health profession. Practitioners are also licensed by their state’s department of health so you can be confident that you are in good hands. continue reading
Putting Your Best Face Forward with Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture might sound like too much to try (you’re going to put needles in my face?), but it really is beneficial to overall health and wellness. In a cosmetic facial acupuncture practice, the practitioner uses acupuncture points on the body to treat the underlying patterns of disharmony and local face points to address facial symptoms. Facial acupuncture is typically not done as a standalone treatment, rather it works best as part of a whole body approach to wellness. continue reading
