Gua Sha Facial

Gua Sha facial combines body acupuncture with facial Gua Sha techniques. Gua Sha moves lymphatic fluid, which decreases skin congestion, decreases puffiness and increases hydration- leading to a brightened complexion, and improved skin texture & tone. Topical hylauronic acid serum is combined with this therapy, which binds and absorbs water, helping to create fullness and plumping of the skin

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture promotes the production of collagen, reducing fine lines, scars, and bags. It illuminates your skin, working from the inside out and the outside in. We use microscopic needles to slowly reduce wrinkles and balance the whole body, and also light gua sha (done with a sleek jade tool) to smooth away stress and fatigue from the face.

PRP Facial/ Hair Regeneration

Normal blood is comprised of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that are important for tissue regeneration and collagen production. Platelet—rich plasma is the portion of the blood that is rich in platelets. PRP can be used for skin regeneration: stimulating collagen in the skin, treats fine lines and wrinkles, and evens out skin texture including scars and stretch marks. PRP can also be used for hair regrowth: increasing blood supply to the follicles, increasing hair shaft size, maintaining growth phase of hair, and decreasing hair loss.

Cosmetic Neuromodulators

Cosmetic neuromodulators (more commonly known as Botox) are purified proteins that are injected into the face to soften the look of lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators can be used for frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, gummy smiles and more.
