Chemical peel treatments are cosmetic procedures that involve applying a solution to the skin, primarily on the face, to improve and smooth its texture. The exfoliating solution causes the outer layer of skin to eventually peel off, revealing new, regenerated skin underneath that is usually smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in tone. Adding an acupuncture treatment can enhance this experience by promoting relaxation. Acupuncture is known for its therapeutic benefits, including stress reduction and improved circulation, which complements the rejuvenation effects of a skin peel. Before booking, please ensure to avoid the following: Avoid the use of retinoid products (eg. retinol, Retin A, Tazorac) and high levels of AHA and BHA products for approximately 7 days prior to treatment. Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing the use of any prescription medications. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. Avoid micro-needling treatments for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. Avoid micro-needling treatments for at least 2 weeks post treatment. Appointment is administered by a Registered Acupuncturist and eligible for extended health coverage.

This therapeutic treatment focuses on alleviating muscle or joint pain through the use of cupping and gua sha tools, without acupuncture. Cupping involves placing suction cups on the skin to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Gua sha, on the other hand, entails using a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin gently, which helps release muscle tension and improve circulation. Both methods are rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and offer a non-invasive alternative for pain management and enhanced physical well-being.

This treatment integrates traditional acupuncture with LED Red or Blue Light Therapy to support skin health, musculoskeletal comfort, and overall physiological well-being. Fine, sterile, single-use needles are inserted at specific acupuncture points on the face and body to promote local circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage the body's natural healing response — addressing both the appearance of the skin and underlying constitutional patterns. Body and distal points are selected to support conditions such as tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, facial muscle tension, neck and shoulder tightness, and nervous system dysregulation. LED phototherapy is applied using either red light to support collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular regeneration, or blue light to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce active lesions — with wavelength selection determined by your practitioner. Your visit includes a comprehensive health history (for first time patients) and intake assessment to ensure your treatment plan is fully individualized. Performed by a Registered Acupuncturist and eligible for extended health coverage.
