Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been practiced for over 2,500 years. It involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (Qi) and promote natural healing.

Based on the concept of balancing yin and yang, acupuncture works to restore the harmonious flow of energy through the body's meridians, addressing both the symptoms and root causes of health conditions.

Dr. Mandy Pearson integrates acupuncture with Western medical approaches to provide comprehensive, personalized care that addresses your unique health needs.

What is Facial Acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture or acupuncture facelift, is a non-surgical, natural approach to facial rejuvenation. This ancient technique involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points on the face and body to stimulate energy flow, promote collagen production, and enhance overall skin health.

Unlike invasive cosmetic procedures, facial acupuncture takes a holistic approach by treating the root cause of skin concerns while promoting natural beauty from within.

Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel minimal to no pain. The needles are extremely thin - much finer than injection needles. You may feel a slight tingling, warmth, or heaviness at the insertion point, which is normal and indicates the treatment is working.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies based on your condition and goals. Acute conditions may improve in 4-8 sessions, while chronic conditions may require 12 or more sessions. Dr. Pearson will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, when performed by a qualified practitioner, acupuncture is extremely safe. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict hygiene protocols. Side effects are rare and usually mild.

Can acupuncture help with infertility?

Yes, acupuncture can support fertility by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, balancing hormones, and reducing stress. It can be used alongside conventional fertility treatments.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily rolled up or moved to access arms, legs, and back. Dr. Pearson will provide a gown or sheet if needed to ensure your comfort and modesty.

How long is each session?

Initial consultations typically last 60-90 minutes. Follow-up treatment sessions usually take 45-60 minutes, depending on your specific needs.
