WOMEN'S HEALTH

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture have been used for thousands of years and have played a vital role in Women’s Health by viewing the body individually to treat the root cause rather than the symptoms of imbalance. The female reproductive system is anatomically and physiologically complex with a monthly hormonal system that fluctuates and is easily influenced by external factors, dietary influence and particularly, modern day stress. Women’s Health encompasses each chapter from Menarche to Menopause, so we too work closely with women transitioning through fertile years, perimenopause and into menopause.

|

The biggest difference between the western and eastern approaches to menopause is that in Chinese medicine we do not have one governing diagnosis of 'menopause'. It does not exist as a disease category. Instead we view it as a hormonal shift and treat the woman according to her symptoms separately. This allows the acupuncturist to treat a woman very specifically for her particular pattern of symptoms.

HOLISTIC SKINCARE

Micro needling aims to rejuvenate the skin’s appearance by stimulating the production of healthy new cells. This literally renews the skin, so the result is smoother, more radiant, and more younger-looking appearance, NATURALLY.

The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body's natural healing process to fill these micro wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. In addition, new capillaries are formed for improved blood supply.

What is the difference between Micro Needling and Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Micro Needling increases keratinocytes and stem cells which produce collagen and elastin in the face. It is best known for treating wrinkles, age spots, scars, skin tone, acne and other blemishes. Micro Needling is used with nutritive and herbal serums and increases absorption by 3,000%. Cosmetic acupuncture focuses on lifting, firming and tightening skin, as well as reducing inflammation and increasing collagen production. Both methods are based on Chinese Medicine principles of moving Qi and blood and stimulating facial meridians.

|

BENEFITS

  • Moderates acne scars fine lines and wrinkles

  • Tones, tightens and brightens the skin

  • Reduces photo aging and sun damage

  • Improves both hyper and hypo pigmentations

|

The Nano needling cartridge head uses 81 silicone tips. These microscopic hairlike cones oscillate just like the microneedle cartridge to separate the cells of the skin to drive in the topical product and allow up to 97% product absorption. This allows for the stimulation of collagen production to help with fine lines and wrinkles, a less invasive treatment for acne hyperpigmentation and an overall smoothness and plumping of your skin.

What is the difference between Nano Needling and Micro Needling?

Both nano-needling & micro-needling address the same skincare concerns and they both use a needling pen to create micro-channels in the skin. The main difference between the two is the depth that the needles are able to penetrate into the skin. Nano-needling only punctures the first layer of the skin (epidermis) while Micro-needling penetrates into the deep dermis.

If you are concerned about fine lines & wrinkles, swelling, dark pigmentation or sagging skin, then nano-needling is for you. If your skin care concerns include deep wrinkles, a tighter, more youthful appearance, hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks or deep acne scars, then micro-needling would be the treatment for that. Alternating between Micro needling and Nano needling is a very popular advanced treatment for those seeking to maintain a youthful appearance.

Cosmetic acupuncture is the method of applying needles to achieve aesthetic benefits. It is different from regular acupuncture because the needles only penetrate 3 mm deep!

It is based on Chinese Medicine principles of moving Qi and blood and stimulating facial meridians. An ancient beauty technique also known as a “Acupuncture Face Lift”.

WELLNESS TREATMENTS

Ayurvedic bodywork is an ancient and powerful tool for bringing body, mind, and soul into harmonious balance. The word shirodhara originates from two Sanskrit words, shiro (head) and dhara (flow). It is a form of treatment in which warm, herbali Ayurvedic oil is poured onto your forehead. Initially, the oil is streamed in dosha-specific patterns from the right to left temple. After several minutes, the stream is set to the middle of the forehead where it flows continuously or the practitioner may continue to move the oil across or down the head for treatment specific results for the duration of the treatment. As the warm oil streams onto the center of the forehead, it activates a powerful Ayurvedic energy point known as ajna marma. This same physical point is known in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as yin tang. In both the Ayurvedic and TCM models, activation of the point between the eyebrows is said to relieve anxiety and agitation and deeply restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and have a full body effect. Given that nearly every modern disease has some link to stress, minimizing its impact is a valuable tool for generating lifelong health.

Raindrop Technique® is a treatment that combines reflexology, aromatherapy, and targeted massage techniques with pure, therapeutic essential oils for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience. During a Raindrop Treatment, the essential oils are dropped from about 6 inches above the spine to simulate raindrops. The process is very relaxing and comforting. When applied to the body, the oils are absorbed into the skin and travel down through the dermis into the interstitial fluids. Viruses, bacteria, and toxins that hibernate in the fatty tissue and lymph nodes along the spine can cause misalignments and other spinal problems. Raindrop Technique utilizes the antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory action of nine key essential oils to assist the body in eliminating pathogens and maintaining or retraining the spinal column’s natural curvature.
