Constitutional Facial Acupuncture*
Facial acupuncture is a full constitutional treatment that views the face as an extension of the meridians of the body which flow from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head.
When the face is needled qi and blood carry nutrients to the cells. The body interprets the insertion of the needle as a microtrauma which stimulates fibroblasts and can increase collagen output.
Although the focus of facial acupuncture is on improving the look of the face the patient receives all of the additional benefits of full body acupuncture.

What is Light Therapy?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits.The energy is used to improve cellular performance.Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields.Research has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and wrinkles, skin texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, arthritis and kill acne bacteria.
How Does Light Energy Work?
Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light(photons) energy is absorbed by photo acceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components. In an article, “Therapeutic Light”-by Chukuku S.Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM, he wrote “other reported mechanisms of light-induced beneficial effects include modulation of prostaglandin levels, alteration of somatosensory evoked potential and nerve conduction velocity, and hyperemia of treated tissues.The resultant clinical benefits include pain relief in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, ankle sprain, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, mouth ulcer,

What is Celluma?
Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today.Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.
What Patients Are Saying
I was venturing into the use of fillers and Botox before discovering facial acupuncture through Lise. Facial acupuncture is my special treat to myself! The process is virtually pain free, there is no down time, no bruising (I am a bruiser), and the results continue to improve. I get the added benefit of relief from sinus problems, and my TMJ symptoms have gone away. Facial acupuncture has increased self confidence in my appearance. I have scarring from adult acne, thick oily skin, large pores, uneven skin tone, saggy jaw line, with wrinkles now appearing. Agh! Non-invasive laser skin treatments were helpful in smoothing my skin, but the results are not permanent. I have a high pain threshold and the face continues to sting after pretreatment pain cream wears off from non-invasive laser treatments. In addition, there is down time unless you do not mind going out in public with a puffy, often bruised face. The best result of facial acupuncture is to hear my dermatologist remark that my face looks good.

I began receiving facial acupuncture from Lise last spring. I considered a surgical facelift but cost and recovery were prohibitive. The positive effects from facial acupuncture are astonishing. Not only did the lines around my eyes, forehead and mouth soften, but my skin is healthy and hydrated. The most significant benefit from facial acupuncture, however, was completely unexpected. It provided relief from years of suffering with migraine headaches. This was a welcome benefit and very much worth the time commitment.
