Acupuncture
Best Facial in Austin
The Jade micro-current facial is the best facial in Austin because it uses micro-current to draw our plant-based elastin and collagen product deeper into the skin. The result is that fine lines are eliminated and deeper lines become much softer and more subtle. The micro-current also tones the muscles to give a nice lift to the jawline, cheeks and eyes. There is no squeezing of delicate facial tissue and no harsh chemicals applied to the skin. The facial leaves your skin glowing and super hydrated as well as lifted and toned.
Cosmetic Acupuncture Is Better Than Botox

Acupuncture for Allergies
We know that many people seek out and get relief from pain with acupuncture. But now this latest study shows that acupuncture also relieves allergies like sneezing and itchy eyes as well.
Many patients with allergies turn to antihistamines for relief. But when these remedies don’t work, some choose alternative treatments like acupuncture. Inserting tiny needles just under the skin at specific points in the body in turn reduces certain allergy symptoms.
In a study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers examined 422 people who tested positive for pollen allergies. The participants reported their symptoms as well as what medication and doses they used to treat them. They were then divided them into three groups; one received 12 acupuncture treatments and took antihistamines as needed. The second group received 12 fake acupuncture treatments (needles placed at random, non-meaningful points in the body) and took antihistamines as needed. While the final group only took antihistamines for symptoms.
After two months researchers asked the patients about their symptoms and how much medication they used. The participants who received the real acupuncture treatments with their antihistamines showed a greater improvement in their allergy symptoms. And used less antihistamines compared to the other groups.

Acupuncture: The New Facelift?
Jawline getting a bit saggy? That great sense of humor of yours leaving you with some not-so-funny laugh lines? Furrowed brow making you look like you’re in a perpetual state of grouchiness?
If you’re thinking of getting a little work done on your face, a younger-looking face may lie at the end of some needles — acupuncture needles, that is.
Can acupuncture really give you the face you thought you’d lost forever? Yes, say the acupuncturists who offer the procedure. Not really, say more conventional cosmetic surgeons.
Smoothing Out the Lines
Martha Lucas, PhD, LAc, a Colorado acupuncturist, says after a series of 10 treatments (twice a week for five weeks), skin becomes more delicate and fair, and there are fewer wrinkles. She says the treatments also result in an erasing of fine lines and a reduction of deeper lines, less sagginess, a lifting of droopy eyelids, and a clearing or reduction of age spots. And, as an added bonus, she says, there is an overall rejuvenation that is not confined to your face.
“Cosmetic acupuncture is a good alternative for women who don’t want the side effects associated with a surgical facelift,” Lucas says.
The procedure works for men too, says Lucas, although not as many men request it.
Acupuncture, a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is designed to free up chi, or energy. When the needles — approximately 30-40 — are applied to the body and face, production of collagen and elastin may be stimulated, says Lucas, and skin is “plumped up.”
By addressing other parts of the body in addition to the face, acupuncture assists the body’s ability to support the “facelift.”
Making the Entire Body Younger
“We’re helping you to be younger — and look younger — by improving your energy from the inside out,” Lucas explains. “This still is TCM — it’s not just about the face; it’s about the whole body.”
“Chinese medicine is the true antiaging medicine,” Lucas says. “It helps your own body create a more youthful appearance.”
Lucas has been offering this procedure for approximately four and a half years, and last year she began training other acupuncturists in cosmetic acupuncture throughout the United States and Canada. As the procedure gets more publicity, she says, more clients are requesting it, increasing the need for acupuncturists trained in the technique, which requires special acupuncture points and different needling techniques than traditional acupuncture.
Jade-E Facial Rejuvenation – Before and After Photo
The Jade-E uses low-level electrical stimulation (micro current) and customized color light therapy – depending on your skin’s tone, characteristics and elasticity – to provide a facial rejuvenation that not only significantly improves the appearance of the face, but promotes good health and vibrant energy as well.
Lines and points on the face and neck are stimulated with a combination of low-frequency micro current electrical stimulation and color light. Micro current works directly on the nerves, muscle fibers and blood circulation, and promotes collagen and elastin production. Color light works by enhancing subtle regulatory and cellular communication systems throughout the body. These combined therapies give a lifting and rejuvenating effect on the face and skin.
