Acupuncture originated in Asia over 3,000 years ago. It’s a time-honored therapy based on the insertion of tiny needles to treat a range of conditions. Acupuncture is a safe and effective natural therapy and an increasingly popular form of health care that is used by a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds.

The insertion of very thin, flexible needles into specific points in the skin promotes blood circulation to targeted areas. This, in turn, activates your body’s immune and nervous systems, reducing inflammation and releasing endorphins to alleviate pain and other conditions.


Facial/Cosmetic Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture treatment is a non-invasive treatment that involves using acupuncture to improve skin and fight the aging process. It can help improve the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin. The acupuncture needles stimulate collagen production, which helps tighten and lift the skin.


Fertility Acupuncture

Fertility acupuncture is a customized acupuncture treatment plan utilizing acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition to help improve fertility. It is a process-oriented method of medical intervention that aids in improving fertility in both men and women, treating fertility disorders and assisted reproductive technology such as IVF and IUI. When it comes to fertility, it is better to do more than less.
