Cupping is an invigorating and revitalizing experience, as it stimulates the body's natural healing processes and encourages the release of toxins.

Facial Acupuncture
Facial Acupuncture offers a natural approach to promoting skin health and renewal. By micro-stimulation of points on the face and body, it enhances the complexion and restores a healthy glow. This treatment triggers natural collagen and elastin production, improves blood circulation, and promotes the flow of energy to the face. It can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, while also improving overall skin tone and texture. Facial acupuncture activates the skin's own regeneration potential, resulting in a fresher, more radiant look. It's also wonderful for preventative maintenance. We treat the whole body as the outside is a reflection of the inside. Celluma light therapy is included with every session (see FAQ's for Celluma).
