Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched and practiced form of complementary medicine in the world. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. This includes placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body,. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive, chemical free treatment that encourages collagen production in the skin. Microneedling is delivered with a handheld device which contains several very small one time use only needles at one end. The needles microscopically penetrate the skin, creating channels for regrowth of collagen and elastin in the skin. It reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone especially on the face and neck. Overall, microneedling is a safe and minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime and few side effects. The most common side effects are redness and peeling.
