Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine treatment system developed in ancient China. According to traditional Chinese medicine, our bodies are made up of twelve main energy pathways called meridians. Each meridian corresponds to specific organs. The cause of the disease is the blockage of Qi (our vital energy) in one or more of these meridians. Acupuncture uses one-time-use thin stainless steel needles inserted into acupuncture points in the skin to stimulate energy flow and bring your body back to a normal healthy state. During an acupuncture treatment, a TCM or acupuncturist can also perform cupping, scraping, acupressure massage, ear seeds, heat therapy, light electrical stimulation, or prescribe herbal formulas to increase the effectiveness of acupuncture. Some common conditions treated by acupuncture include;

Acute or chronic pain conditions caused by injury or health conditions
Emotional irregularities and neurological disorders
Gynaecological disorders
Problems in the respiratory or digestive systems
Urinary disorders
Others: Addictions, Obesity/Weight Management, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Endocrine Conditions, Fibromyalgia, Sequela of Stroke, etc.

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic or facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a non-invasive treatment that uses thin needles inserted into specific points on the face and body to improve skin appearance and address signs of aging, potentially reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Facial acupuncture involves the insertion of needles in the face and surrounding areas to trigger blood flow and oxygen to the area, promoting collagen and elastin production. This specific type of treatment can target dark circles, acne scarring, puffiness, or other skin irregularities.
