Cosmetic acupuncture is available for the face and abdomen. In addition to improved aesthetics, patients report better sleep, mental clarity, mood, and digestion, because these treatments are designed to address the whole person, not just one's appearance. Results vary from person to person depending on age and lifestyle, but most patients notice changes to skin tone and fine lines after just three treatments. Deeper wrinkles will start to vanish after about six treatments, with lasting changes to complexion, skin texture and muscle tone after ten. Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) is applied to optimize results.

A complimentary consultation is strongly recommended to discuss goals and expectations, before booking your first cosmetic treatment.

Traditional Chinese herbal formulas are crafted to emphasize and harmonize functions of its constituent herbs, while minimizing any potential side effects. The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia includes hundreds of medicinal substances, which are mostly plants, but also minerals and some animal products. Traditional Chinese dietary theory takes into account food's flavor, thermal nature, preparation, and the timing of meals. Herbal prescriptions and nutritional recommendations will be given with sensitivity to the individual's lifestyle, dietary habits (eg, vegan, kosher), and current supplement/medication regimen.
