Facial Rejuvenation Services
WHAT IS HOLISTIC FACIAL REJUVENATION?
The face holds a lot of secrets to our health, with our outward appearance acting as a reflection of our inner world. Trauma, illness, emotions, and stress can appear on the face in different ways. Facial rejuvenation takes a holistic approach to treating the skin by addressing the root cause, harmonizing the internal systems, and releasing the trauma imprint in the fascia of the face. It rewires and retrains the face to bring out a brighter, healthier, and more vibrant you.
​
Facial Rejuvenation services:
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Microneedling
Nanoneedling
Light Therapy
​
Research shows that facial rejuvenation should be administered consistently to build a cumulative effect on your outward appearance and your inner health.
6-12 treatments are recommended for ages 30 or below.
12-24 treatments are recommended for ages 30-45.
24-48 treatments are recommended for ages 45 or up.
​
Unlike fillers or injections, facial rejuvenation treatments do not offer immediate results, but rather create a compounding effect with each session building on the prior one. With consistent treatments, you can experience long-lasting and natural effects in your appearance, revealing a brighter and younger appearance. Results from facial rejuvenation treatments can last 5 years or more and require minimal maintenance.
Facial Rejuvenation services are non-surgical and non-invasive.
​

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Cosmetic acupuncture involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into specific points on the face and neck to address your specific skin concerns. It is an all-natural, non-toxic, non-surgical, and pain-free procedure. Often referred to as the "acu face lift", cosmetic acupuncture takes a holistic and all-natural approach at reducing lines, brightening the face, targeting blemishes, toning the facial muscles, plumping the lips and skin, and lifting and tightening the skin. It stimulates collagen and elastin production and cell-turnover, and tones the facial muscles. It also encourages lymphatic and circulatory flow to drain out toxins and to bring in nutrients and oxygen to the skin.
​
Each cosmetic acupuncture session includes facial gua sha, LED light therapy, and face and body acupuncture.
​
Cosmetic acupuncture is designed to help you maintain a youthful and glowing appearance from the inside out.
For best results, cosmetic acupuncture is recommended 1-2x per week for a minimum of 10 weeks.
Microneedling, aka collagen induction therapy, is the repeated insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. It is a non-invasive and non-toxic procedure. Microneedling penetrates the epidermis and dermis, offering a deeper penetration of the skin and is best for deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, deep acne scars, and alopecia. It increases absorption of facial products into the skin by up to 3000%.
Microneedling can only be administered once every 4 weeks. Best results are seen within 3 - 6 months of consistent monthly treatment.
​
Nanoneedling offers a shallower penetration of the epidermis and is best for addressing fine lines, sagging skin, minor blemishes, and maintenance between Microneedling sessions. It increases product absorption up to 97%.
Nanoneedling can be administered once per week.
​
Both microneedling and nanoneedling induce cell turnover, increase serum infusion, boost collagen & elastin production, and induce the healing process.
​
Every microneedling or nanoneedling session takes a holistic approach to address the whole body and underlying conditions. Each session includes LED light therapy, body acupuncture, hyaluronic acid and apple stem cell serums, and is finished with a hydrating face mask.
​
For best results, microneedling and nanoneedling are incorporated into a full cosmetic treatment plan.
