Personalized Treatment Plan

Tailored Care for Your Unique Needs

Our approach begins with a thorough body constitutional inquiry with Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic methods, such as tongue checking and pulse analysis to assess your general health needs. Your body constitution definitely influences the tone of your facial muscles. By understanding how your body moves and functions, we can create a targeted strategy for optimal results.

The Power of Acupuncture

Using a combination of Traditional Acupuncture points and muscle motor points, we stimulate the meridians on the face to circulate more energies and blood for better healing. Main acupuncture points used on the face are from the stomach, gallbladder and small intestine channels. Motor points of the face are used for sculpture, toning and lifting of the face.

Comprehensive Care with Complimentary Therapies

Depending on your needs, we incorporate additional therapies such as facial sculpting Gua Sha (skin scrapping), LED anti-aging light and/or moxibustion with healing herb mugwort to enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.

What to Expect During Your Acupuncture Session

Our consultations are tailored and client centered to ensure strategic localization of procedure and treatment to a myriad of facial maintenance plans. Stubborn facial muscles are properly set in place without external force, freezing, or augmentation. This method ensures a true to root, foundational, and core level treatment that improves the longevity and quality of your skin.

Treatment sessions average 60 minutes but is entirely dependent on the individuals assessed needs. Any extra time may occasionally be added at no additional cost to ensure you receive the full benefit of the treatment experience. Regardless, you are sure to leave feeling physically alleviated, serene, and solaced.

1. Please don’t wear any make up to your appointment.

2. For the following health conditions, please consult your health care practitioner before receiving treatment:

a. High blood pressure/very low blood pressure/severe migraine/diabetes/seizures/epilepsy/hepatitis/coronary diseases/pregnancy/easy to faint/plastic surgeries on face or neck

b. If you recently received Botox, laser therapy or dermal filler treatments, you may want to consult your practitioner first. Also, please make sure you know exactly where the procedure was done on your face.

For targeted areas of concern, we recommend at least 8 consecutive sessions weekly for optimum results. After the intense treatments, we suggest a maintenance program of one treatment per month.  For regular rejuvenation purposes without a serious facial concern, once a month for maintenance is perfect!

Maintaining a consistent treatment program at least once a month provides long-lasting results in terms of skin health, vitality and slows down natural aging process. Plus, my approach always include body constitutional treatments to maximize your result.

Everything you come in, I update you on how your body does from Traditional Chinese Medicine prospective so you can work on forming healthier life habits for health skin.

No.  However, when a needle penetrates your skin, you will likely feel a tiny prick that mimics an ant bit. The sensation should disappear within secs. My techniques are adjustable based on your tolerance.

While facial acupuncture is not a magic tool for reversing aging, many people have reported positive results, including smoother skin, reduced puffiness, softened facial lines and more toned facial muscles. Most importantly, it offers people a natural, non-invasive way (unlike BOTOX) to keep their facial muscles stimulated to prevent sagging and jowls. Simply put, this treatment is like ‘an exercise’ to keep facial muscles and skin fit!

To enhance your result, I always offer a constitutional check-in utilizing Traditional Chinese Medicine’s very ancient tongue and pulse taking diagnostic methods. This way, you can make healthier lifestyle choices to fight aging.

Facial acupuncture is generally very safe and gentle.  Sometimes, temporary side effects from needling, such as redness, mild soreness, minor bruising and bleeding at needle insertion sites can happen.  A couple of rare symptoms such as headache/migraine, drowsiness or feeling dizzy might happen as well.  Based on my experience, patients consume alcohol, processed sugar or spicy food before treatment will more likely to experience these symptoms.
