Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various points on the body that help to establish an overall greater circulation. Each acupuncture point also has a set of associated functions, and its stimulation can mediate various physiological events as well as address and improve emotional and mental states. Endorphins, our body’s natural opiates, are released from the brain with every acupuncture treatment, and treatments have the potential to be profoundly relaxing and pleasant (believe it or not). Most newcomers are pleasantly surprised to find the needle insertion relatively painless and the treatments so enjoyable.

The traditional Chinese practice of Gua Sha involves stroking the skin with a stiff instrument made of rose quartz, jade, bone or horn. Gua sha uses a scraping motion to promote friction to the skin which causes an increase of blood flow beneath the surface of the skin. The increase in the blood circulation can lead to a number of healing effects in the body. “Sha” is transitory therapeutic petechiae or the bringing up of blood into the subcutis. It is bringing up to the surface toxins to be carried out of the tissue, by the lymphatic system, to the kidneys and the liver to be filtered. Therefore, Gua Sha reduces inflammation and benefits the immune system while it reduces pain. A gentle version of it is even used on the face as a facial rejuvenation technique.

Cupping therapy utilizes glass, plastic or silicone cups which provide suction to tissue. The suction facilitates improved blood flow to injured or painful areas and increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed thus promoting cell repair to the area. It can also help promote new connective tissues and create new blood vessels to the area. Cupping is often used to complement a treatment for a host of symptoms and conditions. Cupping is very effective in relieving muscle tightness and pain.

LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of infrared light to help treat various skin issues such as acne, fine lines, and wounds. LED (which stands for light emitting diode) is a lower energy form compared to the sun and laser treatments. In short, LED is absorbed by the molecules in the skin, which in turn alters the biology of nearby cells. This results in enhanced cellular metabolism, and accelerates repair, and replenishment of damaged skin cells. It also stimulates the production of collagen. Different LED wavelengths that show up as color have different benefits.
The LED Light can be used for facial services well as on the body for inflammation and pain. It is an excellent add-on to any service.
