I have spent countless hours expanding my knowledge of cosmetic acupuncture, exploring both ancient techniques and modern philosophies. I have had the pleasure of learning traditional facial rejuvenation theory from one of the world’s leading authorities on the subject, Mary-Elizabeth Wakefield. I have also traveled to Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles to study facial rejuvenation techniques under the guidance of Dr. Martha Lucas. She is responsible for developing a new approach to ancient needling techniques for a more dynamic result in cosmetic acupuncture.

Blending Mary-Elizabeth’s traditional techniques with Dr. Lucas’ modern approach allows me to tailor my treatment plans to each of my individual patients.
Your acupuncture therapy program will be personalized to your situation and your desired results. We will discuss your lifestyle, including your skincare regimen to determine the contributing factors of aging. Good nutrition and exercise (including facial exercises and massage) will prolong the positive benefits achieved through acupuncture facial rejuvenation.

Cosmetic acupuncture improves circulation and carries nutrients to muscles and nerves throughout your body. The result is not only a younger appearance, but also enhanced skin tone and vitality of all muscles, yielding increased energy and an improved feeling of well-being.

Your self-esteem will improve, and you will be more enthusiastic about your on-going care for your face and your entire body. When you feel good, you look good! Acupuncture is an ideal, non-invasive, drug-free therapy for helping you do both.

I am so pleased to be one of the first clinics in Canada to introduce a new acupuncture therapy sans needles! Biostimulation is a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) that stimulates acupuncture points so that needle penetration is unnecessary. Immune boosts, weight loss, smoking cessation, injuries, aches and pains, digestion problems, skin aliments, and allergies can all be treated successfully with this laser. Most importantly, this German technology is safe and effective.

For patients, biostimulation also means shorter treatment periods with all of the positive end results of traditional acupuncture.
Some treatment plans will always require the use of a few needles including facial rejuvenation and other situations of deficiency. I am a big believer in the magic of acupuncture needles, but I am well aware that many people are squeamish around needles. Despite my best efforts, some people still picture vaccination needles rather than hair-thin ones when they hear about acupuncture! With biostimulation, I can share the benefits of acupuncture therapy and of Traditional Chinese Medicine with everyone! Biostimulation combines the wisdom and effectiveness of a 6000 year-old therapy with modern laser technology.

Laser therapy, in fact, is not new to acupuncture, but we’ve never had such advanced technology as we do with the RJ Laser machine used in my clinic. This technology is fully approved in Canada.

How does it work?
The laser beam produces a low-heat and is an electromagnetic wave which can stimulate the acupuncture points of the human body. It also puts energy into the body to excite the channels, regulate the function of organs, and increase metabolism. This oscillating energy field makes it very suitable and effective for acupuncture and the meridian system as a whole. One of the major benefits of biostimulation is the ability to treat injuries and promote the healing of tissue.

For you, this means an effective holistic therapy with faster treatment periods and no need for needles. It’s the best of both worlds I say!

Here’s to a wonderful 2010!
