It safely and gently activates your body's healing response to stimulation by increasing collagen production in the skin, restoring healthy texture, reducing fine lines, and firming and brightening the skin. It is conducted as a 1x per month therapy as a stand alone treatment or it can be alternated with other treatments weekly for accelerated results.

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture
Benefits
Facial Acupuncture treatments are naturally anti-aging by promoting collagen factors in the skin, as well as improving blood flow and oxygen, which forms the foundation for healthy skin. Because acupuncture in general improves the health and function of the skin and body, it also naturally evens skin tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and can be used strategically to tighten and tone certain areas of the face. Perfect for women who want to lift and sculpt, relax tight muscles, and increase the vital energy of the whole facial landscape.

Both Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture and Microneedling cause the skin to respond with collagen production and the growth of new skin cells.
This stimulates and invigorates the flow of blood and lymph, triggering the skin to regenerate cells, decrease inflammation, increase circulation and vent heat.

Gentle, glide-based facial cups lift the skin and fascia to enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage; this no-mark facial cupping reduces puffiness, eases jaw/TMJ and forehead tension, and delivers a natural post-treatment glow.

Low Level Light Therapy
(LLLT)
‘Infra’ means beyond; so infrared is light further along the light spectrum, beyond which the human eye can see. The longer the wavelength, the deeper the penetration. Infrared penetrates more deeply into the body than typical red light. This allows near-infrared light to reduce inflammation and pain in deeper tissues like the muscles and joints as well as regenerate the surface layers like the skin. Shorter wavelengths like LED, stop at the surface.
Blue Light: Wavelength 423 m
Bacteria killing, skin cleaning, cell activation, injury recovery, acne, skin sterilization, prevention of wounds. Acne, eczema and bacteria.
Yellow Light: Wavelength 583 m
