Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture has been practiced for centuries in the East and is an extension of traditional acupuncture. It is known to be one of the most relaxing treatments. Facial acupuncture is known to naturally lift and tone the facial muscles, reduce forehead wrinkles, diminish nasolabial lines, brighten skin, smooth fine lines, and promote cell turnover - leading to younger, brighter skin. The focus is to create long-term changes in the health of the skin and body, not short-term quick fixes. Facial acupuncture can also reduce jaw tension and TMJ, soften overall appearance, in addition to other health benefits like reduced anxiety and tension.

Stress and Anxiety Management
As modern-day living has gotten busier, stress and anxiety has become one of the most pressing challenges. Acupuncture is the most studied alternative therapy today, and has been shown to be effective at calming with our sympathetic nervous system. Known as our fight-or-flight response, prolonged daily stress blocks our body from being able to relax and access our parasympathetic system - the 'rest and digest' half. This affects our circadian rhythm, digestive system, as well as the balance of hormones in our body. Research studies have shown that acupuncture is effective at regulating the body's internal system, creating hormonal balance, and boost mood and energy levels, allowing us to be more effective at the things we do.
Muscle Pain, Tension, and Headaches
Acupuncture channels the body's own energy and meridians to get to the site of the issue. By reducing inflammation locally, resetting neural pathways, and promoting re-oxygenation of the tissues, acupuncture can be a highly effective, natural way to tackle pain for long term improvement. Positive results usually begin following the first acupuncture treatment where muscles will begin to relax and movement tends to be less restricted. Back pain, neck and shoulder pain, migraines and headaches are just some of the things that acupuncture can immediately reduce.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Gut health is extremely important for optimal daily functioning and overall well-being. Digestive issues usually impact quality of life and can cause much discomfort and inconvenience. Acupuncture is a powerful tool to regulate digestion, move constipation, calm IBS, reduce inflammation and even help with gas and bloating. In addition, it has also been proven to help curb cravings by regulating the mind-body signals, while addressing other underlying health concerns that may contribute to weight imbalances or fluid retention. Depending on frequency of treatments, and in combination with a well-adjusted diet, improvements typically will be observed in a few sessions.
Fertility, Pregnancy + Postpartum
Acupuncture works by mediating the release of chemicals that send messages from the brain, via various neurotransmitters, that affect reproductive hormones and organs. By stimulating blood flow to the uterus, it can help with embryo implantation. Also, it can boost the production of chemicals that inhibit stress hormone levels, which is essential during this time.
During pregnancy, common symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, constipation, pain, and heartburn can be hard to manage. Acupuncture treatments to support the pregnancy process is becoming more common place, and has proven to be extremely beneficial and effective. Closer to the baby's due date, acupuncture is also reported to shorten the duration of labour, and lessen overall pain during contractions.
After the delivery, postpartum care is also an important focus. Postpartum acupuncture can help with the recovery process after birth, support milk production and hormonal balance – all essential to a smoother recovery. The body has undergone many physical and hormonal changes during this time and needs nourishment the most.
