Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture, or Acu-Spa as I like to call it, is a safe, non-invasive, cost effective cosmetic procedure. It doesn't involve surgery or harsh chemicals and it won’t fundamentally alter your appearance. The benefits include:

  • Reduces (and in some cases erases) fine lines and wrinkles

  • Increases facial elasticity

  • Clears Acne

  • Improves overall health and signs of stress

  • Lifts sagging areas and jowls

  • Balances the complexion and evens skin tone

Cupping & Gua Sha

Cupping

Cupping is a healing technique where glass cups are placed on the skin using suction, most commonly created from heat or a reverse suction device. Generally it is used to provide fast relief of muscle tension, stiffness and pain. When used in combination with acupuncture, it is utilized in the treatment of asthma, acne and nasal congestion among other things.

Similar to cupping, Gua Sha is frequently employed for swift pain relief. Various tools, with the most common being a smooth, rounded Chinese soup-spoon, are used in conjunction with massage oil to break up areas of tight musculature. It has similar results as a deep tissue massage or Graston Technique, however the pressure is adjusted so that it does not have accompanying discomfort.

Cupping and Gua Sha are utilized in conjuction with acupuncture sessions, and as a stand-alone service
