Cosmetic Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation includes body points to stimulate metabolism and activate deep relaxation of the body and mind. Cosmetic Acupuncture strategically places facial points to lift and tone the face, while stimulating collagen to fill in fine lines and soften skin.
This month’s Self Care Promo is a synergistic treatment that is perfect for Spring.
The addition of Celluma LED Therapy enhances these benefits, accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation and wrinkles.
Includes a luxuriant massage of the face.
Peace and health,
Desiree

Your body needs B12 to ensure proper cell function and metabolism. For some individuals, B12 isn’t well absorbed through diet or in capsule form and injections can provide better absorption. After B12 injections, many patients feel a natural restoration of their energy. This procedure, called Acu-Point Injection, places B12 into the most powerful acupuncture points so you get the added benefits of circulation through the meridian system along with activation of the acupuncture point.
Most people can benefit from a B12 injection, particularly those who live a busy life, are athletes, seniors, vegetarians, vegans, and those on medications or with digestive issues.
Many people have poor absorption of nutrients due to diet, medications, digestive issues and other health conditions. The benefit of an injection is that it bypasses the digestion/absorption pathway allowing for higher bioavailability of the nutrient. This is called parenteral administration and can be given intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
B12 Injections are easy and take less than 15 minutes. B12 is gently placed in acupuncture points on the lower leg while you are seated or resting your eyes for a moment on the table. Its an efficient way to boost your energy and health and easily fits into your day. The recommended frequency will depend on your health goals.
I use a very tiny gauge needle and most of my patients barely feel the injection.
I’ve posted the yoga classes for January. I designed the lunch time Energizing Vinyasa Flow class as a midday revitalizer. Undo the stress knots and muscle aches then return to your day activities refreshed.

60 Minute Treatment
While any acupuncture treatment will make you look and feel better, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture specifically focuses on improving your appearance while simultaneously treating the underlying factors contributing to the aging process.
Each session includes evaluation, treatment, plus soothing massage of face. You may add-on LED Light Therapy during your session.
How does it work?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture includes body points to stimulate metabolism, whole body rejuvenation, and healing from within. This activates deep relaxation of the body and mind. Strategically placed facial points lift and tone the face, while stimulating collagen to fill in fine lines and soften skin.
What happens during each session?
During your first treatment, we will discuss your health history and treatment goals. I will then place the points and allow you to rest comfortably one the treatment table. Most people fall into a restorative sleep as I am placing the points. After your rest period, the points are removed, and you will receive a gentle face and scalp massage to promote further circulation and relaxation.
What is the course of treatment?
The initial course of treatment is 12 sessions administered twice weekly followed by monthly or quarterly maintenance visits. Most people report they have a radiant glow and feel better after the first session. The effects become most noticeable and lasting around the seventh session. Everyone responds differently depending on his or her constitution and lifestyle. After the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions prolong the results for 5-10 years.
Recommendations for at home care such as self-massage, exercise and a healthy diet are tailored to the individual.
Do I need a separate series of treatments for each area of concern?
No. We will treat all your facial rejuvenation concerns comprehensively.
I have studied three different styles of Cosmetic Acupuncture and have formulated my own protocol, customized to the individual. My treatment philosophy is to lift and tone all the facial and neck structures while promoting collagen and elastin to flourish in the tissues. I also “spot” treat the specific areas of concern as this varies with everyone.
Does it really work?
A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. Acupuncture has been treating and preventing illnesses for thousands of years. The efficacy of acupuncture is due to its direct effect on balancing the body’s bioelectric system.
Why should I choose Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture over cosmetic surgery?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a holistic way to look and feel better without surgery. It costs far less than cosmetic procedures and is safe and effective. No extended recovery time is needed and it provides a natural way to refresh your appearance while enhancing your overall health and wellbeing.
Can I have Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture if I have had cosmetic surgery, Botox or injectable fillers?
Yes.
Acupuncture helps to speed healing and stimulates your natural collagen production and cell metabolism. We will work together to optimize your results and other procedures.
Botox: I recommend waiting 2 weeks after Botox before acupuncture on the face.
Cosmetic Fillers: The cosmetic-type injectable fillers take about 7-10 days to integrate into your skin’s collagen structure. We would work around the injected area during that timeframe.
Cosmetic Surgery: If you are having a surgical procedure, I recommend non-cosmetic acupuncture treatments before and after your surgery to increase your body’s healing mechanisms. Acupuncture before surgery will boost your immunity, and acupuncture post surgery will help speed your recovery and reduce swelling.
What can be achieved by treatment?
Used as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD), Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture may eliminate as many as 5-15 years from the face. The cumulative stress, tension and emotions held in the face and body are released, allowing your authentic glow to emerge. More than just a cosmetic procedure, the rejuvenation process helps your whole body look and feel better.
Do I need to take time off work while undergoing treatment?
No downtime is required and many people come in on their lunch hour. If you are doing facial rejuvenation for a special event, I recommend completing your sessions 2-4 weeks ahead of your event. For individuals who are on blood thinners or bruise easily, Arnica gel/cream and pellets can help minimize bruising. Reducing sugar, processed foods and alcohol before and during treatment will lower inflammation systemically and reduce any chances of bruising.
Post Treatment Care
After treatment, please keep yourself protected from wind, and extreme temperature changes. You are encouraged to rest, drink plenty of water and eat moderately.

A: Celluma is a light therapy device for treating wrinkles, acne & pain conditions.
Q: How does it work?
A: Celluma helps compromised cells regenerate.
Q: How does it help with pain & skin conditions?
A: It increases the production of collagen & elastin, increases blood circulation and decreases inflammation.
Q: How long does it take to work?
A: Most people feel, or see, an improvement with one or two uses.
Q: But does it really work?
A: Yes! NASA developed the technology embedded in Celluma.
Q: Will I feel anything?
