Frequently Asked Questions

Acupuncture FAQs

  • Most people experience little to no pain. You may feel a slight pinch or tingling sensation when the needles are inserted, but many clients find it relaxing.

  • The number of sessions varies based on your condition. Acute issues may improve in a few treatments, while chronic concerns often require regular sessions over time. A customized treatment plan will be discussed at your first appointment.

  • Your first visit includes a consultation to discuss your health concerns and goals, followed by an acupuncture session tailored to your needs. The first session lasts 75 minutes.

    • Before: Eat a light meal and wear loose clothing. Avoid caffeine right before your session.

    • After: Stay hydrated, take it easy, and avoid strenuous activity for a few hours.

Cosmetic Acupuncture FAQs

  • Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses fine acupuncture needles to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and enhance skin elasticity. It helps soften fine lines, reduce puffiness, and promote a healthy glow while also addressing internal health imbalances

  • Results vary, but most clients see noticeable improvements after 5–7 sessions, with optimal results around 10–12 sessions. Maintenance treatments every 4–6 weeks help sustain long-term benefits.

  • These treatments are ideal for those looking for a natural alternative to Botox or fillers and want to:

    • Prevent or reduce signs of aging

    • Improve skin tone and texture

    • Support overall skin health with a holistic approach

  • Cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, and nanoneedling are not recommended for those who:

    • Have active acne breakouts, open wounds, or infections

    • Are pregnant

    • Have blood clotting disorders or take blood thinners

    • Have had Botox or fillers within the last 2-4 weeks

  • Each cosmetic service include body acupuncture, as well as LED light therpy, TOMA mask, and TOMA Skin Care Products.

    • LED Light Therapy: This therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It helps improve skin tone, reduce redness, and enhance the effectiveness of your treatments.

    • TOMA Mask: This luxurious mask is designed to hydrate, brighten, and soothe your skin. It helps to calm inflammation, improve circulation, and deeply nourish the skin, enhancing the benefits of your facial treatments.

    • TOMA Skin Care Products: After your treatment, I apply bioadaptive botanical products that are tailored to your skin type and needs. These products support your skin's natural healing process and provide long-lasting hydration, anti-aging, and nourishing benefits.

  • Yes, absolutely! If you’re afraid of needles, I offer a non-acupuncture facial cupping and gua sha service (Glow Getter) that can still deliver great results for your skin and wellness:

    • Facial Cupping & Gua Sha: These techniques use gentle suction cups and a smooth stone tool to improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance skin tone and texture. They are relaxing, non-invasive, and highly effective for lifting and sculpting the face.

Cupping and Additional Therapies FAQs

  • Yes, cupping can leave temporary marks that look like bruises but are not painful. They usually fade within a few days to a week.

  • Most people find cupping to be relaxing. You may feel a pulling or stretching sensation, but it should not be painful. The level of suction can be adjusted for your comfort.

  • Cupping is generally safe, but it may not be suitable if you:

    • Have bleeding disorders or take blood thinners

    • Have skin infections, wounds, or severe skin conditions

    • Are pregnant (certain areas should be avoided)

    • Have fragile or extremely sensitive skin

    • Have a sunburn

  • E-Stim, or electroacupuncture, is a technique that uses a mild electrical current applied to acupuncture needles. This enhances the therapeutic effects of acupuncture by stimulating the muscles and nerves more intensely than traditional acupuncture alone.
    While both use electrical stimulation, E-Stim is applied directly through acupuncture needles, allowing deeper muscle and nerve stimulation, whereas TENS therapy uses pads on the skin for more surface-level stimulation.

  • E-Stim is not recommended for individuals with pacemakers or electrical implants, a history of seizures, epilepsy, or those who are pregnant. If you have any medical concerns, please consult with me before treatment.

  • Yes! I have heat lamps with red light that are used during acupuncture sessions. During cosmetic sessions I use an LED Rainbow light to enhance healing, collagen production, and overall skin health.
