Facial acupuncture has been shown extremely beneficial in those suffering from Bell’s Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, migraines, or stroke. Points on the face are used, and often times include motor points. Points will also be placed in hands and legs to address underlying conditions. Cosmetic acupuncture utilizes facial points as well as distal points on the hands and legs to relax and strengthen facial muscles. Using points on the face brings oxygen and blood flow to the face and initiates collagen production, working to achieve a cosmetic change to the face. Facial acupuncture also can be cosmetically beneficial to help fine lines and wrinkles by allowing muscle tension release and increased blood flow to the facial area. Treatments also include facial cupping and gua sha. Treatments are recommended once a week for 12 weeks for best results.

The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) or Acu-detox protocol uses 5 specific points to needle in each ear. The protocol was originally discovered and used for addiction and substance abuse, but has since evolved and proven successful in treating: -Trauma and PTSD -Stress and Anxiety -Mild Depression -Weight loss/gain -Smoking cessation and other addictions -Immunity -Relaxation Recent studies have also shown NADA to be beneficial with issues and side-effects related to menopause or chemotherapy. Because everyone gets the same treatment, the appointment time is shorter, as there is a much shorter intake. So if you are new to acupuncture and want a treatment to ease you into it, NADA is a good place for you to start.

Microneedling treatment uses the gentle AcuLift handheld device with tiny needles to create precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” help stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin– the building block of healthy, youthful skin. The face, neck, and chest are areas able to be treated, though recommended not in the same treatment. Can treat acne and scarring, dark spots and hair loss. Treatment recommended once a month for 5 months for best results.
