Welcome! We are honored in being a partner on your journey to look and feel your best.

Cosmetic acupuncture, used by Chinese nobility for thousands of years is a safe, non-surgical, and natural alternative to surgery, botox, and fillers.  

Each treatment is an organic, gradual process that is customized for each individual and also addresses the entire body constitutionally.  Many people prefer cosmetic acupuncture because there are fewer risks involved, and it is healthier for the body overall as it has the added benefit of focusing on overall well-being.

Here is some basic information to help get you started:

• Your first session can last up to 1.5 hours, during which time you have the opportunity to ask questions and speak at length about your areas of concern as well as health goals. Your practitioner will also talk with you about your medical history and perform a physical exam, which includes pulse and tongue diagnosis. You will also receive an acupuncture treatment once the diagnostic session is complete.

• Please come with makeup off.  Ideally skin is free of foundation/blush etc.

• Long hair should be kept back with a headband or elastic.

• Please do not vigorously exercise, use saunas, hot tubs, or drink alcohol prior to your appointment as  the vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) increases chances of bruising.

• There's no down time: you can head right back to work after your treatment!

• Come hydrated!

After your session:  
Most people feel relaxed: the stress of the day has melted away and a pleasant calmness has taken its place, but there is no “set” response. Your body will continue to experience ongoing shifts and changes in the time after treatment and this usually continues for several days as your body absorbs and realigns around “new information.” Please allow the physical and emotional restoration that acupuncture sets in motion to continue by taking it easy after treatment by avoiding anything strenuous: you don’t have to literally lie down or take a nap (although, it’s good if you can); just take it easy. Be good to yourself: drink lots of water, eat a nourishing meal and get a good night’s sleep to get the most out of each treatment. Acupuncture is not a one-shot deal. It works cumulatively, meaning one treatment builds on the next.

Is Cosmetic Acupuncture right for me? (contraindications)
Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural and safe alternative procedure, but it is not for everyone.  If you have a serious health condition it is not a good option:  people with heart and seizure disorders, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, some pituitary disorders, individuals who have a problem with bleeding or bruising, or currently suffer from migraine headaches are not candidates for cosmetic acupuncture.

Cosmetic acupuncture should also not be done during your pregnancy, a cold or flu,  an allergic attack, an acute herpes outbreak or within 3 weeks of Botox, Restylane or Collagen injections. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us, so we can discuss whether you are a candidate for cosmetic acupuncture.
