What is acupuncture?
 Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical procedures used in the world
today. It began in China over 2000 years ago and has been used as a primary method of treatment ever since. One of the distinguishing
characteristics of Oriental Medicine is that it looks at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on individual symptoms.
This allows for more effective treatment by focusing on the root cause of the disease. According to Chinese medical theory,
disease occurs because the body is out of balance. To restore harmony, acupuncture needles are inserted at specific points
along pathways, called channels or meridians. By stimulating these points, the body’s qi (chee), or vital energy, will
rebalance. The patient’s general condition of health is improved by strengthening the body’s ability to remain
healthy and withstand disease or hardship.
The many benefits
of acupuncture include include increased energy, strength and vitality, reduced stress and anxiety, boosted immune system,
improved circulation, increased restful sleep, decreased pain, and a creation of an overall sense of well-being. Acupuncture
is a safe, effective way of restoring your body to optimum health.

Look great with non-surgical cosmetic acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a great alternative to modern anti-aging treatments. Cosmetic
acupuncture can improve complexion and skin elasticity, reduce broken capillaries and redness, reduce wrinkles and fine lines,
minimize the beginning of jowls, and lift drooping skin around eyelids and cheeks and it does not carry the risks of lasers,
injections or face-lift surgeries.

first you are asked to come in 2-3 times a week for 3-5 weeks. Once you are feeling better, the treatments become more spaced
out until only maintenance treatments of 3-4 times a year are required. Everyone responds differently, so it is hard to say how many treatments you will
need in total. Typically the longer you have had the problem, the more treatments you will need. In most cases you will see
a notable decrease in symptoms by the 6th treatment. |
