Why Try Cosmetic Acupuncture?
It is relatively painless when compared to surgical interventions; very small disposable needles are used.
It is less risky and much less expensive than most traditional cosmetic procedures.
You will never have that startled, too tight artificial appearance; you look like yourself, only refreshed and more youthful.
You will get a constitutional and energetic boost, with improved sleep, fewer digestive complaints, and general de-stressing. Patients who have gone through the program report relief of back pain, hot flashes, and menstrual irregularities.
If you opt for acupuncture instead of Botox, surgical facelifts, chemical peels, or collagen injections, you never have to worry about common and potentially hazardous side effects.
NO prolonged recovery time; you can continue your usual daily activities after each session.
NO hiding out at home for weeks afterward.
NO bandages, bleeding, or swelling. (You may have some slight bruising)
NO allergic reactions.
NO anesthesia.

How Does It Work?
Insertion of the needles causes micro trauma, resulting in augmented fibrin, collagen, and elastin production. Your underlying muscle tone is enhanced. Your skin cells will reproduce more rapidly, leading to softer, healthier skin.
Who Should Not Try This?
People with uncontrolled migraines, seizure disorders, bleeding disorders or hypertension. We may be able to treat you after we have resolved these problems with herbs, regular acupuncture treatments, and medications. It is best to lose weight before you start the series if you plan to slim down. If you want dramatic changes, where you look 10 years younger, this is not for you! Beware, if you smoke, drink alcohol, or eat a typical American diet with lots of fats, sugar, preservatives, and salt, your results will NOT have good results.

What Is the Course of Treatment?
Each facial series consists of 2 sessions a week for 5 weeks or once a week for 12 weeks. Additional appointments may be needed to achieve maximum results, depending upon your age, overall health, and original skin condition. I recommend a single follow-up visits monthly, or at least twice in 6 months.
Results will last as long as 3-5 years with regular maintenance. Some clients like to repeat the entire series every year. If you are young, with no wrinkles, you can do this to prevent sagging and lines.
Please come to your session with a clean face, no stockings, and loose fitting clothing. Bring your makeup to reapply afterward if you like.
I will give you a list of suggested foods, supplements, foods to avoid, and natural skin care tips. I also teach acupressure massage and qi gong techniques that you may practice at home to preserve your new appearance.
