ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine where points on the body are stimulated in order to help the body to heal itself. For over two thousand years, acupuncture has been used to promote health and well-being by balancing the flow of qi (pronounced chee) or life force, within the body.

Each Acupuncture treatment is a custom protocol designed to treat your specific pattern or constitution. Treatments are offered at different price points to meet your needs - please reach out to find out which treatment is right for you.

Acupuncture at Note to Self Wellness is practiced within the framework of Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Practicing within both systems allows for the simultaneous treatment of physical and emotional imbalances within the body.

    This holistic East-meets-West treatment is crafted to help bring a lifted appearance to your face and eyes, improve your complexion, and provide balance and wellness to your body, mind and spirit.

    This treatment uses a unique micro current guasha tool that combines the graceful flow of guasha with micro current to help lift the muscles of the face, increase circulation of blood and qi, as well as aid in the production of collagen. The micro current guasha is combined with an elevated Micronutrient and Hydro Mask that both increases conductivity of the micro current as well as helps to restore the barrier function of the skin, protecting it from free radical damage. Micro current guasha helps to tighten the muscles of the entire face but is especially beneficial to tightening the skin under the eyes, reducing the appearance of under-eye bags.

    This treatment also features sound therapy with tuning forks that glide smoothly over the skin of the face. These tuning forks are set to the Ohm Frequency, which is believed to resonate with the vibration of the universe and help bring one to a state of relaxation and inner peace. This frequency has also been shown to help reduce swelling and inflammation, repair tissue damage, and help build and strengthen bone matrix. Tuning forks placed directly on the skin can benefit the whole face, but they are especially effective on the eyes because they can safely activate acupressure points located on or directly adjacent to the eyes, helping the eyes to feel more relaxed with an open and vibrant expression.

    Modalities included in this treatment:

    Facial cleansing and Lymphatic massage at face and neck using Yina Bioadaptive cleanser

    A few carefully placed acupuncture needles on the hands and feet (needles are optional but recommended)

    Micro current-Guasha with Micronutrient and Hydro Mask

    Facial Massage using a Yina Botanical Serum

    Facial Cupping on the face, neck and décolletage

    Scalp and Neck Massage using guasha tools

  • Acupuncture, micro needling, topical herbs and light therapy have been clinically proven to help reverse hair loss due to a number of external and internal factors, including genetic predisposition, inflammation due to autoimmune disorders, emotional stress, scalp infections and lifestyle factors.

    Micro needling uses a tool to rapidly insert multiple fine short needles into the scalp, creating small wounds that respond with collagen production in order to regenerate the health of the hair follicles. Adding acupuncture, topical herbs and red light therapy, all treatments that have been clinically proven to help restore hair growth, can help to improve results.

    Included in this treatment:

    Acupuncture needles on the hands and feet to target the head and scalp

    Micro needling on the scalp using topical serums

    Light Therapy for hair growth on the scalp
