Therapies
Fire cupping is an ancient therapy used to treat a variety of issues, although it has gained the most popularity in recent times for treating muscle pain. Fire cupping is performed by creating a vacuum in a glass bulb, then placing it on the patient. This creates a suction. There are different methods that can be used with fire cupping: retention, slide and wet

Moxibustion is done by burning moxa (artemisia vulgaris), also known as mugwart during the treatment. This can be done any number of ways; directly on the skin, on top of needles, held close to the skin, and other methods. Moxa is an herb that has been used in Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to help tonify, warm and activate points and channels. It is used for a variety of reasons, from digestive issues to pain and much more.
MOXA
Electrical Stimulation is a technique used to add extra stimulation to the acupuncture points. It is done by connecting cords to the needles, which attaches to the electrical stimulation machine. There is then a controlled amount of electricity pumped into the needles. It is then adjusted to meet the patient’s comfort level. This therapy is seldom painful and can be very beneficial in treating sports injury, infertility and much more.

Microneedling:What to Expect
*Results from microneedling are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3-6 monthly treatments. Results will continue to progress for several months after your last treatment and can last up to 5 years!
Before Treatment
If desired, topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to provide light numbing.
Treatment
Physician formulated, organic, vegan serum prepared for your skin's individual needs will be applied. The AcuLift™ MicroPen is then used to create controlled microchannels, eliciting your body’s healing response. This will remodel and rejuvenate your skin to provide a younger, more firm and radiant appearance.
Post treatment
Following treatment your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically disappears after 12-24hrs. You will receive the remaining custom serum from your treatment, as well as patient aftercare instructions to accelerate your recovery and results.
