You can also book a 30-minute Medical Aesthetics consult with Dr. Sam to strategize an individualized approach using these treatments to help you achieve your skin goals. **Dr. Sam’s Bio:** We’re excited to welcome Salt Spring Island-raised Dr. Sam Bowen ND to the Madrona Integrative Health team! Dr. Sam will be leading the Holistic Skin Care & Medical Aesthetics program. She is passionate about holistic skin care – from her own personal struggles with eczema and acne to witnessing the impact of various skin conditions on her patients, she understands that achieving healthy and vibrant skin requires a multifaceted approach with internal and external treatment considerations. Skin concerns can be a sign of internal imbalance that can be addressed to optimize health overall - healthy skin is a reflection of a healthy body. And, this can be helped along with the inclusion of topical treatments. She believes that achieving healthy skin is empowering at any stage in life. Dr. Sam is a naturopathic doctor who strives to create patient-centred care that focuses on identifying the root cause of symptoms and understanding the interconnectedness between the different systems of the body and mind. Drawing on a variety of tools such as lifestyle and nutritional counselling, targeted supplementation, acupuncture, IV nutrient therapy, and pharmaceuticals, her goal is to create individualized treatment plans that optimize the unique health needs of her patients. Through this process, she aims to establish an environment where patients feel supported and empowered throughout their health journey. Her clinical focus lies in supporting skin health optimization, women’s health, digestive health, and mental health. **More about these treatments:** *Facial Acupuncture with LED light, Facial Massage, and Gua Sha* Facial acupuncture targets specific areas along the face to improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, improve fine lines, support collagen production, and promote skin rejuvenation. Using a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, these needles are used to bring balance to the meridians or pathways of Qi (energy) that flow throughout the entire body. Body acupuncture points are also included as needed to encourage flow throughout the entire system. This treatment also includes Celluma LED light therapy for the face to stimulate collagen production, accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, kill acne-related bacteria, and improve skin tone and texture. It is also complemented with a blissful facial massage and gua sha treatment to release muscle tension and support lymph flow, leaving you with glowing skin. Some or all of these modalities may be utilized depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals. Benefits of this treatment may include improved muscle tone; decreased puffiness around the eyes; firming of sagging skin; reduction of fine wrinkles; even skin tone and texture. *Microneedling* Microneedling is a safe and effective collagen induction therapy. It initiates skin remodelling and can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, textured skin, or overall skin rejuvenation. The treatment is performed using the Health Canada approved SkinPen Precision medical-grade device. This is a micromechanical device that uses tiny sterile needles to create tiny microchannels within the skin that initiates collagen production. Treatment can be performed on the face or face and neck. Benefits include: improvement in fine lines and wrinkles; reduction in acne or facial scarring; improvement in uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation; reduction in enlarged pores; improvement in overall skin complexion *Cosmetic Neuromodulator Treatment* Neuromodulators (commonly referred to by the brand name “Botox”) are used to relax specific muscles of the face to produce a softening effect of fine lines and wrinkles. A neuromodulator is injected into a muscle to cause a temporary reduction in the strength of muscle contraction (on average is 3-4 months) which helps to reduce wrinkles and create smoother skin. Dr. Sam believes less is more, and takes a gentle approach, building as needed to ensure that you achieve the results you desire.
