What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin needles into specific spots, or “points”
on the body. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy,
or Qi ("chee"), in the body. Acupuncture stimulates points under the skin, releasing Qi and returning the body to a balanced state.
Biologically, acupuncture works through neurohormonal pathways. Inserting the needles in specific areas of the body causes micro traumas and stimulates the body's response. The central nervous system enters a parasympathetic (rest, digest, and relax) state, and nerves are able to send signals to the brain to begin the healing process. The brain releases neural hormones to the locations of the micro traumas, and cells begin to regenerate and repair themselves. Thus, healing the body with the body.

Cosmetic acupuncture treatments follow the My Zen procedure of the face. Cosmetic treatments use tiny needles in specific acupuncture points on the face and head to trigger the body's natural ability to produce collagen, rebuild skin cells, and restore healthy circulation. This is especially beneficial to target not only wrinkles, but also age spots, droopy skin, acne scars, and dull complexion.

It is recommended that each cosmetic acupuncture patient undergoes a serious of 10 treatments in a time frame of 5 weeks. Because it is over a longer period of time, results are gradual but lasting. It is also recommended that every cosmetic patient returns for maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks.

Each treatment is a cost of $150, totaling $1500 for all 10 treatments. If you wish you pay in full upfront, you will be discounted $250.

Ancient fire cupping a is form of Chinese medicine that targets muscle tension and promotes blood circulation, relaxation, and detoxification. Cupping's suction action liberates stagnated circulation in tissues and pulls toxins out to the surface where they are properly metabolized and removed from the system.
Cupping can loosen tight muscles and fascia, but is not ideal for bone or nerve issues. If you are having back pain due to a vertebral structural problem or pinched nerve, acupuncture is better suited for you.
