What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture Treatments is an ancient practice originating in East Asia, where practitioners recognized that physical and mental stresses lead to imbalances in the body. In addition, these imbalances, described in Oriental medical theory as disruptions of opposing forces called yin and yang, can hinder the flow of vital energy, known as qi, through meridian pathways. By using hair-thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body, acupuncture restores the harmonious flow of qi, helping the body return to its natural state and enhancing its ability to heal itself.
Book OnlineHow Does Acupuncture Work?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), good health is achieved through the balance of yin and yang, and furthermore, the unobstructed flow of qi.When these pathways are blocked or imbalanced, consequently, pain and illness can occur. Acupuncture addresses these issues by clearing blockages and promoting the flow of qi.
From a modern scientific perspective, research suggests that acupuncture activates the nervous system, thereby triggering the release of chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can alter pain perception and stimulate the release of hormones that support the body’s self-regulating systems.

Microneedling involves using a high-speed pen with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, thereby kickstarting the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture and addressing issues like acne scars and dark spots. We enhance this treatment with organic serums for optimal absorption and results. Coupled with LED light therapy, which uses specific wavelengths to target various skin concerns, microneedling accelerates healing and boosts cellular renewal. For the best outcomes, we recommend one treatment per month, with four sessions forming a complete treatment plan.
