such as facial gua sha and facial cupping, to help her patients achieve a more youthful, lifted, and vibrant appearance.

Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• Improves skin tone and texture

• Enhances collagen production

• Promotes lymphatic drainage

Cosmetic acupuncture is particularly effective in reducing wrinkles and giving the skin a plump and radiant appearance. For optimal results, we recommend a continuous 6-week commitment consisting of 2 treatments per week for 12 treatments. Results can be maintained with periodic treatment sessions.

Our holistic approach combines the power of acupuncture with our other services such as LED light therapy and complementary techniques of facial gua sha and cupping, offering a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.

This natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures not only enhances your appearance but also promotes overall well-being.

What to Expect in a Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment

Your cosmetic acupuncture session at Red Bird Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is designed to be a soothing and revitalizing

experience.

----------------------- Page 3-----------------------

Here's a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:

1. Relaxing Full-Body Acupuncture: Your session starts with a calming full-body acupuncture treatment. This helps balance your body's energy and promotes overall wellness, setting the stage for the facial work.

2. Facial Acupuncture: Using ultra-fine, sterile, single-use needles, we'll gently insert them into precise points on your scalp, and face.

3. Restful Needle Retention: You'll relax for about 30 minutes while the needles work their magic, stimulating collagen production and improving circulation.

4. Complementary Techniques: Your treatment includes LED light therapy to enhance the overall results. It may be combined with an additional service of facial cupping and gua sha for the ultimate glow.

5. Aftercare Guidance: We'll conclude your session with personalized aftercare instructions and discuss a recommended treatment plan for optimal, long-lasting results.

Most of our clients find the treatment deeply relaxing and experience minimal, if any, discomfort. You may notice a mild tingling or warming sensation as the needles stimulate your skin's

natural healing processes. After your session, you can expect to leave feeling refreshed and with a healthy, radiant glow.

Remember, consistency is key in cosmetic acupuncture.

While you will likely see some immediate benefits, a series of 12 treatments of 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks is typically recommended for the best, most enduring results.

Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Experience the power of collagen induction therapy with our state-of-the-art microneedling device. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and classically trained herbalist, Dr. Elizabeth Howe brings a unique blend of expert training and holistic health knowledge to every treatment. Our advanced microneedling technology ensures safe, effective, and precise treatments tailored to your individual skin needs.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that is minimally invasive. It uses a device equipped with tiny, sterilized needles to create controlled micro-

injuries in the skin. This innovative treatment aims to trigger the skin’s natural healing mechanisms and enhance collagen production.

Understanding How Microneedling Works

The microneedling process involves creating microscopic punctures in the skin, which activates the body's wound healing response. This process can be described in several important

steps:

----------------------- Page 5-----------------------

1. Controlled Injury: The device uses micro-needles to create tiny

openings, referred to as "micro-channels," in the skin.

2. Cellular Stimulation: These micro-injuries stimulate the body's repair systems, leading to an increase in the production of new collagen and elastin.

3. Collagen Remodeling: The newly formed collagen helps enhance skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, thereby reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

4. Improved Product Absorption: The micro-channels created by the needles allow topical skincare products to penetrate more effectively, optimizing their performance.

By utilizing the body’s innate healing processes, microneedling can effectively address a variety of skin issues, including acne scars, discoloration, enlarged pores, and overall improvements in

skin texture and tone. This versatile treatment provides a safe and efficient solution for individuals looking to revitalize their skin with minimal recovery time.

Amplified product absorption for maximum results

Studies have shown that microneedling can increase product absorption by up to 2000%. We harness this benefit by using premium, customized serums during your treatment, including:

• Apple stem cell serum for cellular regeneration

• Collagen serum to boost skin elasticity

• Hyperpigmentation serum for even skin tone

• Customized blends to address your specific skin concerns

----------------------- Page 6-----------------------

This combination of cutting-edge technology, expert application, and high-quality serums makes our microneedling treatment particularly effective for addressing scars and the signs of aging.

Benefits of Microneedling treatments

Microneedling goes beyond surface-level improvements, addressing persistent issues such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and other types of scarring.

You'll notice enhanced skin elasticity and firmness, reduced fine lines and wrinkles as well as a visible reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores.

This powerful treatment requires minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.

Book your appointment today and embark on your journey to radiant, youthful-looking skin.

A series of 4-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results.

Nano Infusion Therapy (Nanoneedling)

Our Nanoneedling treatment provides similar benefits to traditional microneedling but is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Instead of needles, tiny cones on a device are used to

create channels in the uppermost layer of the skin. This technique enhances the absorption rate of our effective serums by up to 97%.

----------------------- Page 7-----------------------

We use the same high-quality serums in our Nanoneedling treatments as we do in our Microneedling procedure, ensuring optimal product absorption and skin rejuvenation. The benefits of

Nano Infusion therapy are numerous!

• Enhances absorption of topical products

• Improves skin hydration levels

• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
