Pain doesn’t have to define your days.

Chronic pain and injuries often stem from more than one source — muscle tension, joint misalignment, inflammation, or repetitive stress from daily life.

Integrating physical therapy and massage for pain management offers a more complete approach. Each therapy addresses pain from a different angle, working together to support mobility, healing, and overall well-being.

Learn more in our latest blog.

Discover how physical therapy and massage therapy work together for pain management, faster recovery, and long-term wellness.

LED light therapy is one of the gentlest, most effective ways to support your skin from within — no downtime, no harsh ingredients, and totally safe for sensitive or hormonal skin (even during pregnancy!).

🔵 Blue light: fights acne-causing bacteria
🔴 Red light: boosts collagen + calms inflammation
💡 Near-infrared: accelerates healing + supports recovery

At AHH, we use clinical-grade LED therapy in many of our facials to target breakouts, reduce redness, and support glowing, resilient skin.

Want a treatment that’s calm, clean, and deeply effective? Ask your aesthetician about LED light therapy during your next visit.

Read more about how it works and who it’s for in our recent blog post.

Discover how LED light therapy improves skin tone, reduces acne and redness, and supports healing—safe for all skin types.

You deserve care that gives back. 💛

July 24 is International Self-Care Day — a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t indulgent, it’s essential. Whether it’s a massage to release tension, a lymphatic treatment to reduce swelling, or a custom facial to restore your skin, small acts of care can create lasting shifts.

Book time with yourself — you’re worth it.

☀️ Your daily reminder: SPF is skincare.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, and we’re here to say that sun protection isn’t just for beach days—it’s for every day. UV damage can accelerate aging, dehydrate the skin, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Need help finding the right SPF for sensitive or acne-prone skin? Our Advanced Aesthetics team has you covered.

✨ Protect your glow—start with sunscreen.
