Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healing system with a history of over 3,000 years, rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy. TCM focuses on restoring balance and harmony in the body through methods such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, and dietary therapy. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling are holistic treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin and support overall health. Both techniques are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, aiming to enhance natural beauty by addressing internal imbalances. These treatments are relaxing, non invasive, and free of toxic chemicals.
Cosmetic Acupuncture targets both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. It uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, relax muscle tension and patterns. This allows us to address fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. It also promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall health. Studies suggest cosmetic acupuncture can improve facial elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and promote a youthful glow by improving circulation and energy flow.
Microneedling primarily focuses on the epidermis, creating tiny micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This boosts collagen and elastin production, making it an excellent option for treating scars, adding moisture & glow, addressing fine lines, large pores, and skin texture. Microneedling has strong evidence supporting its effectiveness in improving skin tone and texture, moisture, reducing acne scars, and promoting cell renewal.
Both treatments at Desert Acupuncture are complemented by a full body acupuncture treatment Gua sha & facial cupping to promote lymphatic drainage, blood flow. Full body acupuncture and cupping is used to reduce stress, support the body's systems, and unblock energy for comprehensive care. Whether you choose cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, or both, our holistic approach ensures radiant skin and improved overall well-being.
