Acupuncture treatments consist of an Acupuncture treatment on both sides of the body combined with additional therapies of Cupping, Gua Sha, and Moxibustion as needed based on each individual’s personal presentation at time of treatment. Herbal therapies along with relaxation and stress reduction techniques are also implemented according to a person’s needs.)
Microneedling/Nanoneedling treatments consist of Microneedling and/or Nanoneedling combined with additional therapies of Acupuncture, LED Light Therapy, and Herbal Formulas as needed based on each individual’s personal presentation at time of treatment.
Hyaluronic Acid and a Customized Serum Blend are used with the microneedling/nanoneedling treatment followed by a serum infused mask with aloe to soothe the skin.
Herbal therapies along with relaxation and stress reduction techniques are also implemented according to a person’s needs. Each person receives their own personalized treatment plan.
(Treatments are available through different 12 week programs to incorporate all the therapies and treatments that are right for your individual need.)
GENTLE ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body’s innate healing process. Then, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues, treating the root cause of a person’s health problems, thus its ability to help you achieve a better state of health.
CUPPING
Cupping is a form of decompressive therapy that can be used in conjunction with acupuncture treatments. It helps to promote microcirculation to help alleviate pain and promote the release of toxins from the body as part of the body’s natural healing process.
GUA SHA
Gua Sha is a manual form of therapy that involves applying gentle sustained pressure along the skin with a specialized tool. While it works in a similar fashion to cupping to help promote microcirculation, it also helps to break up scar tissue and connective tissue to help reduce pain and inflammation while increasing mobility.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion is the use of the Chinese herb, Ai Ye, commonly known as Chinese mugwort, which is burnt on or near the skin. It is an effective form of therapy at relieving pain, promoting circulation, and even reducing swelling and inflammation.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat a patient’s underlying condition that can contribute to pain, stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and tension.
RELAXATION & STRESS REDUCTION
When your nervous system is calm, the hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means a more focused mind, more resilient immune system, less inflammation, better circulation, and optimal nutrient absorption.
MICRONEEDLING
A microneedle pen utilizes extremely fine, sterile needles that penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production without permanent injury to the skin. Each needle cartridge is sterile and single use. It can increase serum absorption by 1000%. Microneedling can improve skin texture and color, reduce wrinkles, diminish acne scars, and dramatically enhance effectiveness of skincare products. Microneedling promotes natural production of collagen and elastin fibers responsible for skin structure and elasticity by harnessing the healing power of the body. As we age, these fibers break down causing wrinkles and sagging. Microneedling can be done once a month, taking up to four to six treatments to see results that can last up to five years.
NANONEEDLING
The same pen used for microneedling is used for nanoneedling but with a nanoneedle cartridge that is sterile and single use as well. The nanoneedles are very fine, small going to a depth of 0.15 mm. Nanoneedling can be used on the entire face including the lips and around the eyes. Nanoneedling enhances serum absorption by 97%. It is less invasive than microneedling, can be performed up to twice a week, produces less redness, & has zero downtime. Nanoneedling allows for products to be absorbed better and will give you a more instant glow.
LED LIGHT THERAPY
LED light therapy includes red light therapy. Our LED spectral light therapy device emits red, yellow, and blue light, which are all part of the visible light spectrum. There is no UV light emitted.
Each color of light penetrates at different depths with different health benefits. Blue light is the most superficial and helps to kill bacteria, promotes cell activation, helps with injury recovery, treats acne, and sterilizes the skin. Yellow light penetrates deeper and improves cell oxygenation utilization, promotes circulation, helps with red spots and red face, and removes pigments. Red light is the most penetrating and promotes skin cell regeneration, increases oxygen content in blood, stimulates circulation, improves acne, promotes wound healing, eases pain, promotes collagen production, and improves wrinkles.
Studies have shown that red light therapy helps with alopecia to regrow hair, protects cells against damage from stress, helps clear acne, rosace, and eczema, enhances fertility, and improves thyroid function.
HYALURONIC ACID
When hyaluronic acid is used in conjunction with microneedling, it can provide several benefits. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. It has a high water-holding capacity and can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This property makes it an excellent hydrating agent and can help improve skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
SERUMS
The serums used are specifically made to be used with microneedling and nanoneedling.
Specialized serums that may be used in the customized serum blends include Apple Stem Cells (APSTEM), Lumos, Oculus, Senescence75+, Elastin FL+, Collagen XG+, and Rejuv Xue Cao. The customized blends are based on a person’s individual needs for that person’s skin to help achieve optimal results.

Our entire philosophy begins with this. . .
"Our bodies are constantly trying to achieve a state of harmony in response to the surrounding stimuli affecting it. While at times the body can achieve a state of balance on its own, other times it needs additional assistance in regaining the proper balance to help the body heal. We help patients to heal and gain a sense of empowerment for their overall well-being as they achieve that balance between body and mind by creating an environment that’s comfortable and free of judgement throughout the course of their treatments. Our mission is simply to provide personalized care with outstanding results."
-Dr. Katrina Giangarra, DACM, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M., Founder & Clinic Director
Nonjudgemental & Supportive
Health care begins with honoring our bodies - from the nourishment we consume to our level of daily physical activity, to how we treat our bodies when something is wrong. Each person knows what is best for his or her body. While some may choose a fully natural approach, others may opt for a more integrative approach to their health care. It is not for us to judge anyone but to support our patients on a path to better health and well-being.
Honesty & Integrity
It is important to us to be honest and forthcoming with our patients, so they may trust us as we help them with their problems. Each patient will receive recommendations of personalized care geared to their optimal health. We expect honesty from our patients to fully understand the various factors attributing to their health.
Kindness & Compassion
We empathize with our patients’ health concerns and truly understand how people’s health and well-being can impact their daily lives. Each person is guaranteed one thing in this life and that’s the body her or she is given. It’s how they honor and care for their bodies and the external factors affecting them that impacts their overall health. Our goal is to help each patient achieve an optimal level of health.
Balancing Body & Mind
Health is impacted by both emotional and physical factors. It is important for patients to feel comfortable and happy. The rights and well-being of each patient are respected. Our goal is to help achieve a level of harmony that can bring an overall level of better health for each patient we treat.
