A holistic mind-body approach treatment for younger looking skin.

By working internally to optimize your health, while simultaneously enhancing the appearance of your skin, facial acupuncture is a holistic and safer alternative to chemical or surgical treatments. Facial acupuncture addresses not only signs of aging, but also the skin’s overall aspect.

The treatment consists of inserting ultra fine, sterile, single use needles, following both meridian lines and facial expression lines (or wrinkles). The needles help stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory system, which work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells, nourishing skin from the inside out.
To help even out your complexion and promote your skin’s glow. The positive microneedling also aids in stimulating the production of collagen. This can help improve the skin's elasticity, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

By stimulating the flow of energy in the meridians, fresh blood and oxygen flood the face and really bring it back to life.
The focus is to create long-term changes in the health of the skin and body, not short-term quick fixes. By helping to stimulate collagen, reduce jaw tension, and brighten skin tone, patients experience a softer appearance overall, on top of health benefits like reduced anxiety and tension.

The majority of people saw improvements after just three sessions of facial acupuncture, but Michelle recommends a series of 3 treatments
“It’s a great treatment for those who are really busy and on the go,” she says. “It allows the body time to relax and restore.”

Comment l’acupuncture agit-elle sur les problèmes d’allergies?

Il y a deux phases dans le traitement:

En phase aiguë, le focus est placé sur soulager les symptômes tels:

aggravation de l’asthme, si la personne en souffre déjà;
congestion nasale;
signes de conjonctivite :
démangeaisons des yeux;
écoulement purulent des yeux;
gonflement des paupières;
larmoiement;
rougeur des yeux;
écoulement nasal clair et abondant;
éternuements à répétition;
maux de tête;
picotements et démangeaisons du nez, de la gorge et des oreilles.
Les effets secondaires de la rhinite saisonnière affectent aussi la qualité de vie de la personne allergique et de sa famille. Du printemps à l’automne, les activités quotidiennes ou sportives, les loisirs et le rendement au travail ou à l’école peuvent ainsi être perturbés par :
de la fatigue;
de l’irritabilité;
des problèmes de concentration;
des troubles du sommeil.
En phase chronique, le focus est placé sur la prévention:

En élaborant un plan de traitement visant à rééquilibrer l'énergie du patient et soulager les symptômes allergiques, l’acupuncture vise à réguler les déséquilibres énergétiques en cause, mais aussi en prenant compte des forces et faiblesses propres à chaque individu.

Pour minimiser l'ampleur de vos symptômes et obtenir de meilleurs résultats, il est conseillé de consulter avant la période de vos allergies saisonnières
