Acupuncture Services
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points along the acupuncture meridians of the body which facilitates the generation of Qi within the body thus activating the body's own healing mechanism. Acupuncture is a natural and safe healing modality that has been practiced for over 2000 years. The benefits of acupuncture are abundant whether you are in wellness or struggle with a health issue.
Wellness Acupuncture Session
A Wellness Acupuncture session is a comprehensive medical treatment designed to address health complaints, both physical and emotional. The initial session consists of a thorough review of your medical history and chief complaints, followed by acupuncture treatment of the body.
Return Wellness acupuncture sessions build upon the therapeutic foundation set at your initial and subsequent visits. Original chief complaints continue to be addressed and assessed, as well as other issues that should emerge during your course of treatment.
With acupuncture, regular frequency is imperative for results as treatments are cumulative and build upon each other; optimal results require consistency and a little patience. An average course of acupuncture treatment is 12 to 24 weekly sessions, depending upon the nature of the issue.
Moxibustion and cupping therapies are included with Wellness acupuncture sessions when deemed necessary for treatment.
Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture - Radiance Session
The Radiance Session is our facial cosmetic acupuncture treatment which addresses cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and skin discoloration. Aside from signs of aging, the Radiance Session is also excellent for treating acne, blemishes, and minimizing scarring. Facial acupuncture builds collagen and elastin to improve the visual and physical qualities of the skin.
Studies show that for optimal results facial acupuncture should be received once to twice weekly for a minimum of 12 weeks. Treatment results vary depending on the severity of the issue.

Detox Acupuncture
Smoking - Weight Loss - Alcohol - Drugs
Any type of detoxification can benefit from acupuncture therapy. Though frequently used with smoking, alcohol and drug withdrawal, acupuncture is also effective with supporting a weight loss, cleansing, or fasting journey. Studies have shown that increased acupuncture in the early stages of detox assists with reduction of cravings and anxiety associated with withdrawal. Other confirmed benefits are improved sleep, increased energy, and better mood.
Acupuncture for detox should ideally be considered as a series of sessions of initially twice per week for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the severity of the issues at hand. Acupuncture treatments build upon each other so it is important to maintain consistency to achieve maximum treatment results, particularly if detoxing from smoking, alcohol or drugs. Decreasing to weekly sessions is suggested once the patient has overcome the initial stages of detox; these weekly sessions will continue to strengthen the body and mind, and solidify the efficacy and lasting results of the therapy.
