The ultimate goal of TCM treatment is to balance yin and yang by promoting the natural flow of qi in the body. Yin & Yang is a concept from ancient Chinese philosophy that describes how seemingly opposite or contradictory forces can be interconnected and complementary, giving rise to the idea of harmony and balance.   Yin represents the passive, feminine, and dark aspect, while Yang represents the active, masculine, and bright aspect. However, they are not static; instead, they are constantly changing and in a state of flux. For instance, night (Yin) becomes day (Yang), and winter (Yin) becomes summer (Yang). This concept is used to describe various phenomena in nature and the human body, as well as philosophical and social concepts. Qi (or Chi) is a vital energy or life force that flows through the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed to be essential for maintaining good health and overall well-being. Qi flows through channels in the body known as meridians, and when the flow of Qi is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to illness or disease. Practices such as acupuncture, qigong, and tai chi are believed to help balance and enhance the flow of Qi in the body. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints, to restore the balance of Qi and promote healing. It is based on the idea that the body's energy flows along specific meridians or pathways, and inserting needles at certain points can stimulate the flow of Qi and restore balance.
Rebalancing acupuncture treatment is a term that is commonly used to describe the process of restoring balance or harmony to the body's energy pathways, or meridians, through the use of acupuncture. During a rebalancing acupuncture treatment, the acupuncturist will first assess the client’s overall health and well-being, as well as any specific concerns or symptoms they may be experiencing. Based on this assessment, the acupuncturist will then select a combination of acupuncture points to target in order to rebalance the body's energy and promote healing. The treatment itself involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body, which are thought to correspond to different organs and systems in the body. The needles are left in place for a period of time, typically between 15 and 30 minutes. During this time the acupuncturist might use the moxibustion technique to enhance the treatment. Moxibustion involves the burning of dried mugwort near the skin to stimulate specific acupuncture points. Overall, the goal of rebalancing acupuncture treatment is to restore harmony and balance to the body's energy pathways, which can help to alleviate a variety of health issues and promote overall well-being and relaxation.
During a cosmetic acupuncture treatment, ultra-fine needles are inserted into specific points on the face and body. You may feel a slight sensation as the needles are inserted, but most people find the treatment to be painless and relaxing. After the needles are inserted, you will lie comfortably for about 15-20  minutes while the needles work their magic. During this time we will use LED light therapy to enhance results.   After the removal of the needles, you will receive a facial Gua Sha massage for about 15 minutes and you will feel rejuvenated and relaxed.  After the treatment, you may notice an immediate improvement in your skin, but the full results will become more apparent after a series of treatments.
During an acupuncture session, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table, and the acupuncturist will insert thin needles into specific points on your body. The needles are typically left in place for about 15 to 20 minutes, during which time you may feel a sense of relaxation. Afterwards, the needles will be removed, and you can go about your day.
