Acupuncture: Extremely thin needles are inserted directly into areas of wrinkles, fine lines and/or scars to reduce their appearance. Other strategic points on the body are also used to help with the patient’s overall health and vitality.

Vibrational Beauty Therapy—Facial: This is a cosmetic procedure using gentle electric stimulation to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve skin tone and texture. No needles are used in this protocol. The electric stimulation is delivered through moistened Q-tips that glide gently over the surface of the skin. The procedure is very relaxing and takes approximately one hour and fifteen minutes per session.
