At Acu Glow, we use the tiniest of needles for a pain-free experience! It is often the case that patients don't even feel the needles. Acu needles are extremely thin & entirely different than the ones given for injections or drawing blood. While everybody has different levels of sensitivity, acupuncture is virtually painless.

Once the needles have been inserted, you may feel a warm, tingling, heavy, or achy sensation. This is referred to as 'De Qi', and is a positive sign that the body & needles are interacting. The sensation is mild & patients often fall into a deep sense of relaxation (also referred to as an acu-nap).

Cosmetic acupuncture works by creating micro traumas to the skin barrier to stimulate the body's natural healing response. These 3 things happen:

1. Collagen & elastin is produced to help fill in fine lines & wrinkles while also maintaining the skins youthfulness & elasticity.

2. White blood cells to kill acne & bacteria for clear skin

3. Red blood cells deliver oxygen, nutrients & improve circulation. This helps move stagnation & blockages giving your skin that youthful & buoyant glow

As we age, our facial muscles begin to atrophy & our collagen levels deplete causing sagging skin, fine lines & wrinkles. While this is an inevitable part of aging, cosmetic acupuncture supports theses changes by preserving collagen levels, increasing blood flow & and enhancing immune cells to strengthen the skin barrier.

Skin concerns (acne, pre-mature aging, dry skin, etc) happen due to internal imbalances that are also addressed during cosmetic acupuncture by inserting needles on specific points of the entire body.

"One treatment is a treat, 4+ is a treatment"

You will notice brighter, glowing skin & a sculpted look in 1-2 sessions & more significant acne & antiaging results in 4-8 sessions.

Acupuncture is like going to the gym; it has a cumulative effect. You will feel amazing after just one session, but the real healing results you're looking are created with appointment consistency & lifestyle recommendations. Each treatment plan will differ according to your current state of health & goals of care.

Together we will create a treatment plan & maintenance plan that best serves you.

Acupuncture is medicine. Just like your doctor prescribes medicine & how often you take it, acupuncture must also be dosed properly.

Typically, those who have tried acupuncture & claim it doesn't work have only tried it 1-2 times & spaced out over long periods of time. Imbalances don't develop overnight and neither does natural healing. At Acu Glow, we partner with our patients to take an active & empowering role in their healing journey.

The lymphatic system is one of the most important yet underrated systems we have in our body. It is known for fighting infections, boosting immunity, draining fluid accumulation, improving energy and clearing the skin.

If you experience symptoms like bloating, constipation, sluggish energy, low immunity, acne, swelling, irritability or brain fog; it can be a sign that your body has stagnant lymph and is struggling to manage excess fluid retention.

By integrating professional treatments such as regular lymphatic drainage massages and lifestyle changes (sauna, low impact exercise, elevating your legs, proper hydration, etc), you can make incredible progress in supporting your lymphatic system & overall well-being.

Initially discovered by NASA, Red light therapy increases ATP production in the cells (energy) which increases fibroblast cell activity. This is responsible for collagen & elastin production.

Blue light therapy has shorter wavelengths & works superficially in the skin which makes it excellent for killing surface level bacteria (acne) & reducing oil production that causes the breakouts.

LED light therapy combined with acupuncture or facial massage is a powerful & natural solution for glowing & healthy skin.

Yes! We offer direct billing to all major insurance providers; however, direct billing cannot be guaranteed as eligibility varies between individual plans and self-submission may be required.

If insurance coverage is important to you, please confirm in advance with your provider that acupuncture or massage benefits are included in your plan and how much coverage you will receive per visit.

Important Note: When your insurer states they cover a certain percentage (e.g. 80%), this percentage applies to a predetermined maximum set by your plan—not to the cost of your treatment at Acu Glow. To avoid surprises, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your exact coverage details and limits per visit.
