Very fine needle are inserted into the body and into the face. This technique offers a natural approach to address your cosmetic concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, baggy eyes, crows feet, laugh lines, etc. Typically 6-10 treatments are required over 2-3 months, beyond which maintenance treatments may be required every few months. Treatment lengths are 1 hour, 15 minutes in duration.
Cupping Therapy
a traditional Chinese practise that uses spherical “cups” to create a vacuum on the skin, lifting the skin and underlying tissues. Traditionally, this practise is used for relieving stagnation, such as respiratory congestion (Ie. common cold, pneumonia). The practise is also used to bring blood flow to the area, move lymph fluid, stimulate the nervous system and relax sore muscles. 30 minute sessions are offered.
