What to expect during facial acupuncture?
Your facial acupuncture session is booked to last one hour and thirty minutes. This extended time enables us to take a comprehensive intake; to discuss, your health concerns, set health and wellness objectives and to establish a treatment plan help you accomplish your objectives. Using traditional Chinese medical precepts we confirm our differential diagnosis with a tongue and pulse confirmation. This information is used to setup a personalized treatment plan. We will use this plan to empower you with nutritional, herbal and life style guidance all in an effort to help you achieve optimal wellness and health.
Your facial acupuncture session is created to give you a spa experience. Your personalized treatment begins with a customized Chinese medical herbal infused barber wrap. This wrap is intended to soothe your mind, to alleviate the stresses of your day and provide a perfect opportunity to cleanse your face. When the wrap is removed, we will then proceed to your customized acupuncture treatment. Needles will be placed in strategic locations on your feet, hands, ears, scalp and face. We allow the needles to do their work, as you are comfortably lounging with your feet elevated, your eyes closed and soft music lulling you in the background. The needles will be retained for about 45 minutes. Once the needles are removed your face will be covered with a personalized herbal facial mask. The mask will be removed with a herbal/essential oil infused barber wrap. Your face, neck and scalp will be massaged with our organic herbal elixirs, followed by a cooling yin toxifying jade roller. Your facial is completed by an atomized spritz of organic essential oils and ionized water.
These treatments are customized; if you are looking to rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance or if you are looking to treat acne, rosacea or other dermatoglical issues. During your consultation, we will discuss, access and set-up a personalized treatment strategy that best suites your indivulized needs and concerns.

does insurance cover acupuncture
Some companies do, some don't. If you've had a recent car accident or worker's comp claim, I will be happy to bill them direct, saving you the hassle. I also accept Blue Cross. If I can't bill them directly I can provide you with a receipt with the proper ICD-9 codes to maximize your reimbursement.
