Microneedling & Nanoneedling

Micro-Needling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation.

The premise is simple – create a small wound and the skin will respond with collagen production and new skin cells. Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, this can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of scars and wrinkles.

Micro-Channels In The Skin

Micro-Needling creates micro channels in the skin. When those channels are created the skins own repair response is to start producing collagen and elastin, this is to heal that controlled injury that was just created. That in turn make our skin tighter and smoother.

What Is Nano-needling?

Uses the same type of oscillating motion to treat the skin but the cartridge encompasses 81 silicone tips.

These microscopic hair-like cones separate the cells within the epidermis to allow active products to be pushed into the skin. Nano-Needling only affects the epidermis, treating within the upper .15 mm of the skin.

The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an immediate glow with no downtime. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin.

If you are concerned about fine lines & wrinkles, swelling, or sagging skin, then nano-needling is for you.

If your skin care concerns include deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks or deep acne scars, then micro- needling is for you.

Pulse Diagnosis

One of the most common questions that patients ask about Chinese Medicine is: "Why does my practitioner check my pulse?" Pulse diagnosis is actually one of the most complex and important diagnostic techniques we use in Chinese Medicine. Through feeling and evaluating your pulse, I obtain an accurate diagnosis of your overall constitution, Qi (energy) flow, and internal organ health, among other things. I then synthesize all of this information into a highly effective and individualized treatment plan for your specific needs.

Herbal Medicine

Dry herbs in bulk are weighed (in grams) and packaged for you with instruction on how to cook your medicine at home.

Putting the responsibility of preparing your medicine in your own hands empowers your sense of self-care. 

Just like the store-bought foods and medicine that have been prepared for us, we may question what was put inside. Now you see it all right in front of you. This is how medicine was traditionally prepared; home-cooked medicine! 

Each day’s dosage (one bag) may range in price from $10-$14 as some formulas have higher weight or more expensive ingredients.

The herbal formulas are pre-dominantly Han Dynasty prescriptions credited to Zhang Zhong Jing and his texts, Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue.

General instructions:

1. Pour the entire bag of herbs into your pot [ceramic, glass, stainless steel pots are preferred; avoid aluminum and cast-iron, unless the cast iron is coated with enamel]

2. Pour enough water to cover the herbs twice over; this means if the herbs in your pot take up a space 1-inch high at the bottom of the pot, add enough water so that the water line is 2-inches from the bottom of the pot; this does not need to be exact, just a rough estimate is enough. If you add more water, it is okay. 

3. Allow herbs to soak in the water for 20 minutes before turning up the heat, as soaking the herbs allow for easier extraction. 

4. Turn up the flame until you achieve a rolling boil.

5. Once the water is boiling, put on a lid and reduce the flame to its lowest setting to allow it to simmer gently for 30 minutes (unless specified otherwise)*

6. Carefully the liquid extraction into a container such as a glass jar, thermos, or large mug.

7. Replenish an equivalent amount of water for your second extraction; since the herbs are soaked and bloated, they will be raised higher and do not need a doubling of the water - add about 1.5 times as much water to cover the herbs. 

8. Turn up the flame until you achieve a rolling boil; no need to presoak again as the herbs are already soaked. 

9. Once the water is boiling, put on a lid and reduce the flame to its lowest setting to allow it to simmer gently for 35 minutes (unless specified otherwise)*… a little bit longer the second time for more extraction. 

10. Combine the second extraction with the first extraction by carefully straining the liquid extraction into the same container.

11. Drink this volume in 1-3 portions over the next day or two; preferably warm; no need to refrigerate unless you do not intend to finish the drink in 1-2 days. 

*** Some formulas require longer boil times

*** Some formulas require pre-boiling of certain herbs that are set aside from the rest for you

*** Some formulas require a medicinal ingredient to be added at the end, or dissolved in the container with your extraction
