What is Micro-Acupuncture? Micro-Acupuncture utilizes even smaller needles than typical in a standard Acupuncture treatment and with less depth so as to stimulate a skin-layer response. Acupuncture treatments regulate the circulation in various tissue planes and restore the body's innate ability to heal. Acupuncture helps to gently and consistently repair the nervous system to a proper tone.

What is gua sha? Gua sha is a very effective manual treatment technique, also called "spooning or scraping." We use a flat, thin piece of jade, stone, or ceramic to brush over the skin, allowing toxins, illness or pain holding-patterns to be released from the skin, fascial and muscle layer. This is a common home technique in asian households that is effective for a wide range of ailments. Gua sha is used in facial rejuvenation cosmetic acupuncture to break up stuck tissue and smooth lines.

Facial Rejuvenation Micro-Acupuncture, also called "Cosmetic Acupuncture," is a super-effective, surgery-free, 100% chemical-free treatment approach used to improve the circulation in the skin of your face, neck and surrounding areas. You can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, skin spots, redness, dryness, clogged pores -- you name it. BUT the most important part is the HEALTH of your skin will never be better and others will know immediately by your radiant glow!

Benefits:

​This type of treatment used to be only reserved for emperors and people in the royal court! You will be in incredible hands with Constance as she has years of experience and a great ease about her. She is a very sought-after educator in Chinese Medicine skincare, facial gua sha and cupping, practicing many years herself in a hotspot of facial rejuvenation in Scottsdale, Arizona!

* professional consultation
* personal skin care evaluation
* development of skin care treatment plan

* facial cleansing

* and more...


Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on the fundamental principles of Chinese Medicine, which involve tailoring treatment to each person’s body constitution and taking a holistic approach. In addition to enhancing appearance, Cosmetic Acupuncture has the added benefit of improving overall health because it links inner physical balance with outer beauty and radiance.


Cosmetic Acupuncture FAQ:
​

CAN I HAVE COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE IF I HAVE HAD BOTOX?
Yep! In most cases, it is 100% acceptable to use cosmetic acupuncture to help maintain youthful-looking skin even if you have had Botox injections. Constance will be able to tailor your treatment to your particular experience.

WHY CHOOSE COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE OVER A FACE LIFT?
While not a replacement for surgery, Cosmetic Acupuncture is an excellent alternative. It is far less expensive than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless, and has no side effects or risk of disfigurement (slight bruising can occasionally occur). Surgery, on the other hand, often ends up with an extended recovery period, swelling and discoloration. There is no trauma from Facial Rejuvenation Micro-Acupuncture and if it does not suit you, it can be stopped with no ill effects.

WHAT IS THE COURSE OF TREATMENT?
Maximum effect is achieved through a series of treatments between 10-15 sessions initially. Ideally, these should be done 1-2 times per week, however each individual will respond differently to the treatment, depending on their age and lifestyle. Visible results will be noticeable after 6 -7 sessions. Maintenance treatments are then recommended once per month, but you are welcome to increase that frequency if you would like. Packages are available for both the initial series and maintenance. Inquire at your appointment if you are interested.

WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE?
Some patients are not candidates for facial rejuvenation, including persons who are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, frequent migraine headaches, bleeding disorders, and some pituitary disorders. 

DOES IT REALLY WORK?
You've got to try it to find out! ;) But yes, Constance has had a lot of success in her practice with very satisfied customers and there is a lot of research to back it up as well. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture has been performed for thousands of years in China and written about as early as the Song Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) when it was used on the Empress for facial revitalization and overall health and longevity. Since this time, the use of micro-Acupuncture for cosmetic purposes has become wildly popular worldwide. 

But you don't have to just take our word for it-- there are plenty of scientific studies investigating Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, too, showing it to be an effective and safe modality. Research has shown it to be an effective therapy with marked effects even with only one course of treatment. The effects noted in the studies included: improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles, increased moisture content, improved skin appearance, leveling of wrinkles, increased facial circulation, and overall rejuvenation not merely confined to the face [1,2,3,4].

TOTAL HEALTH: "My overall health has improved so much since coming to The Light Clinic. It is so nice to have people who listen to your health needs and work with you to explore and treat your conditions. More and more I consider them my primary health care."
AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & KIND: "This was my first experience at The Light Clinic and also meeting Joseph for the first time. I feel so utterly blessed to have found Joseph and his "healing hands". He was professional and knowledgeable, while being personable and gentle. He explained everything in detail, so my comfort level was at an all-time high. Thank you Joseph and thank you Light Clinic!"
GREAT OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: "Love the whole body approach at the Light Clinic! Have had several treatments and very pleased.You will enjoy the healing atmosphere and the personal attention you receive from these practitioners. "Discovered" them from rave reviews from our own patients. So glad we did! Thank you!"
ALWAYS THE BEST: "My time with Mary Frank Slaughter is always so comforting. I am assured of her expertise and loving care. She'll find things before my doctor does and it always surprises him when he tells me something and I tell him my CranioSacral Therapist told me the same thing. The entire staff is also like this. Do yourself a favor - go see them."
