Celluma

This is a ground breaking scientific and patented design that uses light therapy to treat teenage acne and adult onset acne. It also greatly diminishes and softens wrinkles. I use the therapy the last 20 minutes of your session!

“In an observational study using Celluma to treat wrinkles. 80% of participants said that they experienced an improvement on skin texture, 77% reported an improvement in skin firmness and 66% reported and improvement in facial wrinkles after only 4 weeks.”

In addition, I can validate that using the Celluma 2X a week for 1 month greatly reduces facial acne. I am a mother of a teenage daughter and friends. These teens seek me out for help with break – outs!

Acupuncture verses Botox and Surgical Face Lifts

Acupuncture is a cost effective, safe and drug free approach to enhance youthful skin and reverse the signs of aging. A cosmetic acupuncture treatment can improve muscle tone and facial glow to the face and neck, while addressing underlying imbalances that may have contributed to the aging process. Common health concerns that typically affect the radiance of your face are stress, hormonal and digestive imbalances. It’s the optimal goal to beautify and improve underlying conditions that are affecting you and your face. More than 1 treatment is necessary to create lasting results.

People often do a combo of both systems: acupuncture with botox.

Botox and or Face Lift

The results are typically seen with 1 injection and or surgical process. More chronic skin issues and loner lasting treatments are noted. These treatments are often more expensive and do not address one underlying health concerns or quality of skin. Often people between these types of services receive facials.
