Acupuncture

Both cosmetic and traditional acupuncture involve inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture needles help to stimulate and balance the body's flow of energy, or ``qi.`` Acupuncture is used to alleviate various conditions, including pain, stress, and nausea, by stimulating the body's processes for natural healing. Acupuncture is recognized for its potential therapeutic benefits and is commonly used in conjunction with other treatments.

Cosmetic acupuncture

Dr. Christina is highly trained in cosmetic acupuncture, a type of facial acupuncture designed to slow signs of aging and help you look and feel your best. Cosmetic acupuncture can help skin produce collagen, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation, as well as alleviating tension in your face and jawline. Cosmetic acupuncture helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promotes a youthful, radiant glow. Cosmetic acupuncture is a popular alternative to conventional cosmetic procedures for aging, offering subtle, natural-looking results.

Massage

Massage is a therapeutic practice for alleviating pain, reducing stress, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation. Dr. Christina is a registered massage therapist (RMT), highly trained in using different techniques such as relaxation and deep tissue massage to meet the individual's needs. Massage therapy is widely recognized for its physical and mental health benefits. Relaxation or deep tissue massage can be combined with practices such as acupuncture.
