Graceful Aging through Acupuncture

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a centuries old practice. It is a gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or downtime of surgery or injections. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals.

As we age, the 57 muscles in our face gradually lose their tone and mass. This causes sagging and deep wrinkling, the tired look associated with aging. Acupuncture stimulates muscle function, circulation, and collagen production. Hair thin needles are placed in the outside of the ear to induce relaxation, and body points are used which correspond the individual’s specific needs, causing a sense of well-being as endorphins flood throughout the body. Once you are in a state of deep relaxation, needles are placed on the face in acupuncture points as well as wrinkles. The needles placed in the wrinkles create a micro trauma, which produces collagen. The face lifts itself via the acupuncture points, returning to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance.

Acupuncture comes from a branch of traditional medicine practiced in ancient China that dates back over 3,000 years, but has advanced in its theory, technology, and treatment methods. Western medical acupuncturists practicing today use the best and most reliable aspects of holistic integrative medicine, while abiding the ancient principles of finding balance and achieving optimal wellness. Every patient is viewed and treated respectfully and personally, as a complex and multifaceted individual with unique emotional needs and special physical requirements. 

Dermatological Cupping

Dermatological Cupping softens fine lines, firms the skin, brings circulation back to tissues, boosts circulation, relaxes muscle tone, reduces cellulite, and cleanses lymphatic vessels. Sometimes called “Photoshop for the face,” cupping reduces puffiness, dark circles and swelling by moving excess fluids and toxins out of the skin and drawing nutrients to the surface of the skin.

Cupping can be applied by hand or with machine assistance, but we favor hand-cupping for greater control and precision in our treatments. These tiny suction cups leave no marks but will leave your skin feeling fuller, smoother, and more beautiful than before. After applying a therapeutic oil, the small glass cup is gently suctioned for a few seconds and moved along various tissue pathways. Cups are also moved over deep wrinkles to increase blood flow to the area and moved along the face and down the neck to drain lymphatic fluid and stimulate blood flow. TMJ and sinus pressure can be relieved. This brings collagen to the surface, reducing puffiness, cleansing dark circles, diminishing lines, draining sinuses, and flushing the lymphatic system.

Micro-Needle Rolling

Micro-Needle Rolling uses a special tool for a light but impactful application of superficial dermatological acupuncture. This roller is covered in hundreds of microscopic needles. When rolled across the skin, it stimulates nerves and blood vessels, increasing microscopic vascular dilation to cleanse the skin of toxins, reduce wrinkles, and create a vitalized, youthful appearance. Results are especially astonishing for facial acne scarring, blemishes, and sunspots.

Jade Facial Massage

Jade Facial Massage or “Gua Sha” uses instruments made from jade stone. With proper massage technique, it helps to revitalize and restore the quality of the skin. Like our other techniques, jade facial massage is excellent for sculpting, toning, and firming skin, creating enhanced glow and reduced puffiness through increased circulation. It releases tension in the fascia network while minimizing fine lines and cleansing lymphatic fluids, reducing inflammation which can occur under the eyes and chin. This can be especially beneficial for acne, rosacea, melasma, dark circles, wrinkles, sagging, and puffiness. It also improves elasticity, detoxifying while helping skincare products penetrate the outer layers of the face. Traditionally, the properties of jade make for a calming, soothing experience, as the stone itself is said to be cooling and tonifying.
