A return acupuncture consultation follows up on your treatment plan to assess your progress and make necessary adjustments. The session may include a variety of holistic tools tailored to your needs, such as acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, herbal medicine, and essential oils. These treatments work together to balance your body’s energy. The acupuncturist will discuss the outcomes of previous sessions and refine your treatment plan, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized approach to support your well-being and healing.

A cupping session is designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being. During the session, glass cups are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum that gently lifts the underlying tissue. This process helps improve circulation, relax muscles, and release tension, providing relief from pain and promoting healing. The increased blood flow can also help reduce inflammation and detoxify the body. The session is tailored to your specific needs, targeting areas of discomfort and aiming to restore balance and vitality. After the treatment, you may feel relaxed and refreshed, with a noticeable reduction in pain and an overall sense of well-being. You may see temporary red marks on the skin where the cups were applied, which usually fade within a few days.

A Gua Sha facial massage combined with acupuncture is a rejuvenating treatment designed to enhance blood circulation, reduce puffiness, and promote lymphatic drainage, resulting in a brighter, more youthful complexion. The session begins with gentle Gua Sha, where a smooth, flat tool is used to massage the face, lifting and sculpting the skin. This technique helps to stimulate blood flow, release facial tension, and encourage the drainage of excess fluids, reducing puffiness and promoting a healthy glow. Following the Gua Sha massage, fine acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the face and body to further stimulate circulation and balance the body's energy. This combination of treatments not only enhances facial rejuvenation but also supports overall well-being, leaving you with a refreshed and radiant appearance.

Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that aids in detoxification, enhances circulation, and promotes lymphatic drainage to help remove toxins from the body. During a Gua Sha session, a smooth, flat tool is used to gently scrape the skin in specific patterns, which stimulates blood flow and encourages the release of built-up toxins. This process helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support the body's natural detoxification processes. By promoting lymphatic drainage, Gua Sha can also help reduce puffiness and support overall wellness, leaving you feeling revitalized and refreshed.
