What To Expect

A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) session is a holistic experience designed to address your unique needs and restore balance to your body, mind, and spirit. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

  • An initial acupuncture consultation and treatment typically includes the following:

    1. Comprehensive Health Intake
      The session begins with an in-depth discussion of your health history, lifestyle, and primary concerns. This may include questions about sleep, digestion, stress levels, menstrual health, or other relevant aspects of your well-being.

    2. Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis
      As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the practitioner may assess your pulse and tongue to better understand your body's energy (Qi) flow and overall balance.

    3. Individualized Treatment Plan
      Based on your consultation and diagnosis, the practitioner will design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and wellness goals.

    4. First Acupuncture Treatment
      Fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points to address imbalances, promote circulation, and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. The treatment is gentle and relaxing, designed to restore harmony and support overall well-being.

    5. Guidance and Next Steps
      At the end of the session, the practitioner may provide recommendations for follow-up treatments, lifestyle changes, or complementary therapies to support your ongoing healing journey.

    This session is both diagnostic and therapeutic, creating a strong foundation for your treatment plan and overall wellness.

  • A subsequent acupuncture treatment typically focuses on building upon the progress made during the initial session. Here's what it usually involves:

    1. Follow-Up Consultation
      The practitioner will check in with you to discuss any changes, improvements, or new concerns since your last treatment. This allows for adjustments to your ongoing treatment plan.

    2. Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis
      As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the practitioner may assess your pulse and tongue to evaluate your body's current state of balance and refine their approach.

    3. Acupuncture Treatment
      Using fine, sterile needles, the practitioner will target specific acupuncture points based on your evolving health needs. This helps to promote the free flow of Qi (energy) and restore balance to your body.

    4. Complementary Therapies (if needed)
      Depending on your condition and goals, the treatment may also include other techniques like cupping, moxibustion, or gua sha to enhance results.

    5. Relaxation and Integration
      The treatment is designed to allow you time to relax and integrate the healing process, leaving you feeling more centered and balanced.

    Each session is uniquely tailored to your journey, building on prior treatments to support deeper healing and lasting results.

  • A cosmetic acupuncture treatment typically focuses on enhancing skin health and promoting a natural, radiant appearance by addressing both surface concerns and underlying imbalances in the body. Here's what it usually involves:

    1. Initial Assessment

      The session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your skin goals, lifestyle, and overall health. This helps the practitioner understand the root causes of any concerns, such as fine lines, dull complexion, or acne.

    2. Facial Acupuncture

      Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific points on the face to stimulate circulation, boost collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity. This process helps reduce fine lines, puffiness, and uneven skin tone while improving overall texture and vitality.

    3. Body Acupuncture

      To address internal imbalances that may impact your skin, needles may also be placed on key points along the body. This holistic approach promotes overall wellness, as skin health is closely tied to the health of the entire body.

    4. Additional Therapies (if needed)

      The treatment may include complementary techniques such as facial gua sha, jade rolling, or cupping to enhance lymphatic drainage, reduce tension, and further rejuvenate the skin.

    5. Relaxation and Integration

      After the needles are removed, you’ll have time to relax and allow the treatment to settle. Many people report feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed.

    Cosmetic acupuncture is a gentle, natural alternative to procedures such as Botox and fillers, focusing on both beauty and overall health to achieve lasting, radiant results.
