Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture offers a natural and non-toxic approach to enhancing skin health and appearance. This minimally invasive procedure effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles, enhances facial elasticity, and rejuvenates the complexion. Also referred to as facial acupuncture, these treatments target specific facial concerns while simultaneously nourishing the body internally, addressing underlying imbalances to promote vitality. The ultimate objective of cosmetic acupuncture is to tone the skin of the face and neck, fostering a more youthful appearance, while also promoting holistic balance throughout the body.

Micro & Nano Needling

Micro-Needling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of
rejuvenation. The oscillating needle stimulation from the Micro-Needling creates micro channels in the skin. When those channels are created the skin's own repair response will start to produce more collagen and elastin to heal the injury that was just created. In result it makes the skin tighter and smoother. Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, Micro-needling can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of scars and wrinkles.

Tai Chi

Originally developed in ancient China as a system of self-defense, Tai Chi is now a highly refined art that combines slow flowing movements with focused breathing techniques to strengthen your overall health and well-being. Practiced by millions of people worldwide, the benefits of Tai Chi are well-documented, and include not only a stronger physical body, but also a more focused and clear sense of awareness and attention.

This service is currently offered on Friday morning from 8:30am-9:30am at the Allied Garden Recreation Center taught by Nationally ranked Dr. Matthew Tay. 

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.

Fun facts: Western medicine treatment such as Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, used to treat overactive bladder and the associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence, was inspired from Acupuncture treatment. 

Herbal Prescriptions

Chinese herbal medicine is a 2,000-year-old tradition using naturally occurring substances — including herbs — to enhance one's health and vitality. As opposed to Western medicine, the foundation of this approach is to support the body's natural self-healing mechanisms and abilities.

Since each patient has different needs, I carefully select and combine a variety of herbs that will synergistically blend together to achieve optimal results for your unique situation. I prescribe high-quality, professional-grade herbal medicines that are available only to qualified licensed professionals. Prices vary depending on the recommended herbal formulas. 

Tui Na

Tui Na is an ancient form of bodywork that is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I use a variety of pressures and strokes along the meridians (energy pathways) of your body to both relax your muscles and also stimulate the flow of energy throughout your body. By treating both the physical (musculature) and energetic (Qi) levels of your body at the same time, I can achieve results far beyond what you’d receive from a conventional massage therapy session.

Cupping

Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. We simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing and health. Moxibustion has been used for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi (energy), and enhance your overall vitality and health.

Among other benefits, a landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that 75.4% of women suffering from breech presentations before childbirth had fetuses that rotated to the normal position after receiving moxibustion at an acupuncture point on the bladder meridian.

Gua Sha

Although Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique used by Chinese Medicine practitioners for thousands of years, it is relatively unknown in the West. It is recognized throughout Asia as a highly effective treatment for chronic pain conditions, stress, fatigue, and a host of other ailments.

First, Gua Sha oil is applied to a specific meridian (energy pathway) on your body. I then use a smooth round-edged object (such as a spoon) to apply short brisk strokes to that area. This creates red patches of skin (called "Sha"), detoxifying your blood and restoring the healthy flow if Qi (energy) to the area. There is no pain involved, and the Sha will fade in 2 to 3 days. But the sense of health and vitality you experience from it will last much longer.

Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta has been used medically for over 1500 years in numerous countries throughout the world. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) human Placenta is called Ze He Che, Placenta Hominis, 紫河車. 

Placenta, Ze He Che 紫河車, Placenta Hominis, is in the herb category to Tonify Yang. Tonification is a therapeutic method to nourish and replenish the Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang of the human body in times of deficiency. Therefore, Ze He Che tonifies the Yang of the human body. This function can prevent post-partum fatigue and depression which contributes to increasing mommy and baby bonds. Other function of this herb includes augmenting the qi (energy) and nourishing the blood. This function can promote building energy and boosting blood production to prevent prolonged post-partum fatigue and bleeding, increase pain tolerance after C-section, decrease intense post-partum cramps. 

Discount is provided for current patients and second-time Placenta Encapsulators.
