Acupuncture + Chinese Medicine

Through a release of holding patterns, acupuncture restores the body and helps with both mental and physical disharmonies.

A key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is acupuncture. Acupuncture supports the smooth flow of “Qi” via the insertion of needles along various energetic channels on the body. “Qi” translates directly as “air,” but is understood as the life force and energy flow within.

We advise speaking to a medical doctor if you have questions about your suitability for Acupuncture.


ACU-LIFT (COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE)
Cosmetic acupuncture, also referred to as facial acupuncture, is acupuncture that focuses sprimarily on an aesthetic condition of the client, usually concerning the face. Like traditional acupuncture, it involves strategically inserting ultra-thin, sterilized needles into different areas of the skin with the aim of stimulating blood flow and balancing the body’s Qi (which, when translated, means “vital energy” in Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Cosmetic Acupuncture can enhance the production of collagen via micro-injury to the skin, increase blood flow, stimulate immune responses that reduce inflammation, and activate any number of functional points that have various responses, like reducing jaw tension or relieving anxiety. Though the complexion is typically the target area for results, the process utilizes acupuncture points around the face and body.
