ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a healing therapy that evolved over 3000 years ago in Asia. It is based on the concept that there are channels, or meridians, distributed throughout the body, that facilitate the transportation of energy and blood.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Cosmetic, or Facial Acupuncture is as ancient as acupuncture itself. It involves using traditional acupuncture techniques to troubleshoot imbalances in the face and body, and address esthetic complaints that interfere with confidence and satisfaction with personal appearance.
Cosmetic Acupuncture helps increase the tone of the muscles and skin of the face. It improves the circulation of blood, lymph and energy in the head, which reduces fluid accumulation that causes puffiness, and brings vitality to the skin. Acupuncture also stimulates collagen production and helps distribute it through the skin, which firms and fills in wrinkles and lines and reduces sagging. Hormone regulation is balanced, which can assist with problems such as over or under production of oil, resulting in acne or dry skin. Chronic, habitual muscle tension is released, giving the face a more relaxed appearance and removing the root cause of wrinkles and sagging in many cases. The treatment series will address these specific problems, but will also nourish and restore the condition of the entire face, creating naturally vibrant, healthy appearance.
Best results are achieved through a series of treatments scheduled 1-2 times weekly for 12-20 treatments. Cosmetic acupuncture treatments can always include facial cupping, gua sha, and light therapy. It can be used alone, or in combination with Microneedling.

One treatment $325, 5 for $1500
MICRONEEDLING
Also called Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling is another, different application of needles to the body the improve the condition of the skin and help it to regenerate collagen and elastin. Microneedling is used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, acne, acne scarring, and other types of scarring and stretchmarks on the face and body. It can also stimulate hair regrowth.
Microneedling involves treating the skin with multiple rapid pricks, applied by a microneedling pen, that not only stimulates the skin to regenerate, but also opens the surface to allow custom designed, all natural facial serums to be very efficiently absorbed by the deeper skin layers and increase skin regeneration. The result is firming and improvement of the skin surface condition and reduced or eliminated fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Microneedling can also awaken hair follicles to re-grow hair.
The microneedling pen used is similar to the pens available for home use, but penetrates more deeply. Although this treatment does open the skin surface, the upper layers of skin are not stripped or removed, and it is unusual to even have any bleeding during treatment.
Some results are often noticeable immediately after treatment, but the full effect of the treatment will develop after 3-4 weeks.
Treatments are scheduled 4 weeks apart, and a series usually consists of 3-6 treatments.
The skin will feel slightly irritated and may look reddish after treatment. Plan on no makeup, sun exposure, exercise or salt water contact for the rest of the day after microneedling.
PRICING:
One treatment $400, buy 5 get one free $2000
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE/SUPPLEMENTS
Chinese Herbal Formulas and other supplements are powerful medicines that can be used on their own, or in combination with acupuncture to enhance treatment outcomes. Herbs and supplements are often recommended for more chronic or complex cases like insomnia, digestive problems, immunological/autoimmune disorders, menstrual/reproductive issues, or anxiety/depression.
Not all supplements are created equal, and there are a wide variety of products, and quality of products, available, so I only prescribe brands that I am very familiar with that use species identification, high sensitivity contaminant detection, and GMP certification.
PRICING:
Initial consult: $175
Followup consult: $100
