A cosmetic rejuvenation acupuncture treatment with me is a classic acupuncture treatment taken to the next level with a skincare focus.

With the combination of Cosmetic Acupuncture and IPL, we are merging the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern technology to offer a holistic AND result driven service offering for skin rejuvenation and overall balance. LED, gua sha, cupping included.
