Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an oriental medical therapy that calls for the insertion of hair-like needles at various points (acupoints) on the body that have close association with neuro-vascular bundles in the human body. Approved by the FDA in 1997, licensed clinical acupuncturists practice pain-free insertions utilizing high-quality pre-sterilized disposable needles. Acupuncture therapy is used for anti-aging effects, pain reduction, and allergenic reactions. Once inserted, needles stay in place for 20-30 minutes while the patient reclines comfortably on a treatment table awaiting the arrival of an energetic response that Chinese physicians call "Chi." After the treatment, patients report feeling energized or relaxed. For needle phobic patients, Chinese acupressure, Japanese shiatsu, or Indian marma therapy is employed in lieu of the needle.

Acu-Facelift
Acupuncture face lift was used by traditional Chinese doctors thousands of years before Western biomedicine documented its effects of increasing blood flow, improving circulation, and facilitating lymphatic drainage. Acu-facelift is a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation that LightCare offers its patients utilizing a personalized and integrative medical approach. Experience suggests that 6-12 twice weekly treatments followed by three month follow-up visits allow for the best results. At LightCare Medical Spa we promote the use of acu-facelift in conjunction with Thermage skin tightening to achieve the best results possible.
