What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Hair thin, sterilized needles placed shallowly in the face and elsewhere in the body at specific acupuncture points stimulate the dermis layer, promoting healthier skin cell function, improved circulation, and increased collagen and elastin production. Acupuncture improves organ function and immunity, promoting beauty and vitality from the inside out, and providing an overall effect that goes beyond facial surface treatments. Over time signs of aging are reduced or reversed, further signs of aging are slowed and prevented from settling in, while overall health improves. With maintenance treatments, your skin continues to improve and you can appear not to age as fast as those who do not receive treatment. Regular treatment can have significant health benefits.
 

What To Expect: 
Needle insertion sensation is brief and minimal. Any discomfort during treatment is unlikely, though you may feel a lot of energy in the face due to its rejuvenating action. Acupuncture is cumulative. An initial series of twice-weekly or weekly treatments allows each treatment to build upon the effects of the prior treatment. More than a week in between treatments at this time will not allow the treatment results to hold for more than a few days. Some results may be apparent right away, with more change usually becoming most noticeable after the  5th-7th treatment when increased collagen and elastin has been produced and distributed across the skin matrix. Improvements accumulate as your series continues. 
 

Recommended Frequency of Treatment:

An initial series of 10 - 20 twice weekly or weekly treatments is recommended to jump start results.

* 1-2 sessions per week for 10-20 weeks to maximally smooth, lift, and tone.

* 1 treatment every 2 -3 weeks to maintain and reinforce prior results

*1 treatment per month to refresh the complexion and prior results.

 

The ideal frequency of treatment depends on age, health, existing skin condition and individual goals. A personalized recommendation will be made after your initial consultation. Those over age 40, smokers, drinkers,  and those with digestive and/or hydration issues, active skin problems or exposed to excess pollution generally need more frequent treatment than others. The frequency of treatment can be increased or decreased as needed to enhance and maintain results.

Healthy, Non-Toxic Skin Care:
From my years as a practising herbalist, I have selected Jadience as the primary skincare line to use in conjunction with my cosmetic treatments. Jadience uses properly formulated fresh Chinese herbal extracts to increase absorbability and treat the skin. They are combined with jade powder, which conducts far-infrared rays that penetrate the surface to enhance skin healing.  Jade is known for its healing and beautifying properties. Jadience uses all-natural ingredients to enhance the beauty and healthy skin and receives high marks from the Environmental Working Group's "Skin Deep" rating system for cosmetic and skincare product safety. I also use some Derma E, Standard Process, Medi-Herb, First Base, Herbal TCM,  and other healthy, natural product lines, choosing what will produce the best results for each individual.
