Facial Rejuvenation Cosmetic Acupuncture (30 minutes ~ 1 Hour)
A natural skin rejuvenation technique that stimulates the body healing energies, increases circulation to reduce your wrinkles, fine lines and folds, increases collagen production, helps dark circles and puffy eyes, improves hormonal balance to help acne, lifts sagging skin and drooping eyelids, tightens pores and restores youthful glow. Providers of the cosmetic acupuncture claim that acupuncture is an effective anti-aging treatment; so much so it replaces the need for plastic surgery. During cosmetic acupuncture treatments, such as the acupuncture facelift, tiny acupuncture needles are inserted in regions of the body to unblock one's "qi", or vital energy.
Scalp Acupuncture (20~30 Minutes)
This is a modern acupuncture technique that combines Chinese needling methods with western medical knowledge of representative areas of the cerebral cortex, including anatomy, physiology, pathology and neurology. During a treatment, very short, fine needles are placed between the scalp and the cranium to achieve the desired therapeutic effects. The use of Scalp Acupuncture is exceptional for its fast effects – it is not uncommon for a client to notice an improvement after the first treatment. These positive responses can continue for a couple of days, but to obtain the best results, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment. It treats the same range of conditions as body acupuncture. Notably, it is most effective in the treatment of acute conditions, pain, nerve system disorders, and psychological and psychosomatic disorders.

Acupressure or Tui Na Massage (60 minutes)
This is (pronounced "twee naw"), which literally means "pinch and pull." This is to harmonize yin and yang in the body by manipulating the Qi in the acupuncture channels. This includes Acupressure (a blend of "acupuncture" and "pressure.") So if you are afraid of needles, you may be able to get much of the same effect from acupressure. This is the most effective method for treatment of tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand. It deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body.
Cupping Therapy or Bentosa
This is usually used as part of acupuncture or body massage treatment and has been a part of Chinese medicine for over 3,000 years. This consists of using plastic cups and creating suction and vacuum pressure over localized areas of the body. The suction helps to release rigid soft tissue; drain excess fluids and toxins; loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue; and bring blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles and also helps open up the chest, benefits the lungs and can also benefit menstrual and digestive problems. The benefits are local pain relief and muscle relaxation. It improves overall health by removing the energy blockages that TCM practitioners identify as barriers to the flow of healthy energy or qi. For athletes, cupping may help increase blood flow to a particular muscle region or help reduce pain
Gua Sha or Scraping Therapy
This is an age old bodywork technique which is still practiced in China and other parts of Asia. The word "Gua" means to scrape and "Sha" from a TCM point of view, refers to the blood stasis or stagnant blood and qi that blocks the meridian pathway that can affect proper flow of energy and blood. Blood stasis will accumulate in the subcutaneous tissues.
