Cosmetic Rejuvenation
Cosmetic acupuncture (or acupuncture for facial rejuvenation) is a centuries-old technique that can not only improve physical appearance, but it can also enhance overall health and beauty from within. At Herb + Ohm, our holistic approach to cosmetic rejuvenation treatments includes acupuncture points on the face and the body to target cosmetic issues, repair internal imbalances, and promote deep relaxation.
When choosing a cosmetic rejuvenation provider, it’s important to remember that not all cosmetic issues are purely superficial in nature. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the face serves as a mirror which reflects any underlying issues that may exist throughout the body.
Common cosmetic concerns such as fine lines and dark circles can be linked to a number of different ailments or imbalances. At Herb + Ōhm, our licensed acupuncturists are uniquely qualified to recognize the difference between purely cosmetic issues and those that should be addressed with a more holistic approach.
At Herb + Ohm, our practitioners have trained with some of the world’s top facial rejuvenation acupuncture specialists, including Martha Lucas (creator of the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System™) and Mary Elizabeth Wakefiel. We use acupuncture and cosmetic rejuvenation techniques to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns, including but not limited to:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Post-surgical scarring and keloids
Hyperpigmentation
Dark circles
Large pores
Stretch marks
Chinese medicine for Allergy and Immune Disorders
Treatment Methods
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely-known methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We use this healing technique to stimulate the body's immune system and strengthen its ability to heal itself. Acupuncture typically involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at precise locations (or "points") which correspond to specific ailments or imbalances in the body.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine uses combinations of plants and minerals to help stimulate the body's immune system and strengthen its ability to heal itself. Similar to acupuncture, Herbal Medicine is a powerful healing tool that can be used to address a variety of ailments, from minor imbalances to chronic conditions, with minimal side effects.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves burning an herb called Mugwort and applying the resulting heat to specific acupuncture points on the body. Moxibustion is used to gently stimulate acupuncture points or areas of the body in order to quicken the healing process.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction is designed to stimulate the flow of blood within the superficial muscle layers, promoting cell repair. It is commonly used to help relieve muscle tension and soreness as well as the common cold.
Tui Na
Tui Na translates as "push grasp." It is a Chinese medicinal massage technique that aims to soften the muscles, increase circulation, increase range of motion, and decrease pain. It’s often used to relieve muscle pain, tension and inflammation, and to heal physical injuries.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a technique used to release muscle tension, tightness, constriction and pain. . A specialized tool is used to gently rub the skin over a problem area. Gua Sha feels like deep tissue massage.
