COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Maara has advanced training in cosmetic facial rejuvenation acupuncture with Michelle Gellis L.Ac. and certification in the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System with Dr. Martha Lucas. Cosmetic acupuncture is an effective method of rejuvenating your skin and reducing the visible signs of ageing. It is a safe and natural alternative to botox, surgery, chemical peels and injections without harmful side effects. Specific points based on traditional Chinese medicine help to balance internal function, relax tension in the face, improve muscle tone, decrease fine lines and wrinkles.
Ultra-thin needles stimulate the production of collagen and elastin proteins, improve blood flow, lymphatic drainage and skin cell micro-circulation in the face. Cosmetic treatments address the forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth and jowl area. The neck protocol can be included to additionally focus on sagging around the jawline, neck and décolletage. Treatments include an organic facial cleanse and jade roller massage. A series of 8 - 10 sessions is recommended. Treatments are deeply relaxing and can also help to improve anxiety, sleep, digestive issues and whole body balance.
