How does it work?There are various scientific theories that try to explain how TCM works, but the truth is that the scientific theories that developed modern medicine (which are ~100 years old) is just beginning to understand this ancient medicine (over 3,000 years old). TCM mainly consists of acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical massage, cupping, gua sha, and moxa. Each specific service has advantages and disadvantages as well as differences in how it obtains the end result (healing). Generally speaking, the services we offer work on the nervous system (resetting pain, relaxing the body and sending signals to the brain to regulate functions). Services also work on the inflammatory response and help to trigger the self-healing process. TCM uses a different approach and terminology to medicine than Modern (Western) Medicine or the Scientific Approach. It uses a more holistic and (whole-body) time-tested approach. While TCM uses different terminology for symptoms and illness than Modern Medicine, they are commonly used to complement each other.

Does the Ultrasonic Deep Clean do extractions?No, an Ultrasonic Deep Cleaning device is primarily designed for deep cleansing, exfoliation, and enhancing product absorption. It is not specifically designed for extractions. Extractions typically involve manually removing blackheads, whiteheads, or clogged pores using specialized tools or by applying pressure with gloved fingers. While an ultrasonic deep cleaning device can help loosen and dislodge impurities from the pores, it may not be as effective as manual extractions for removing stubborn or deeply embedded comedones (blackheads). If acne is a concern for you, we recommend scheduling a consultation or an Acupuncture Facial and select this add-on to address acne from the inside and out!

How does it work?There are various scientific theories that try to explain how TCM works, but the truth is that the scientific theories that developed modern medicine (which are ~100 years old) is just beginning to understand this ancient medicine (over 3,000 years old). TCM mainly consists of acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical massage, cupping, gua sha, and moxa. Each specific service has advantages and disadvantages as well as differences in how it obtains the end result (healing). Generally speaking, the services we offer work on the nervous system (resetting pain, relaxing the body and sending signals to the brain to regulate functions). Services also work on the inflammatory response and help to trigger the self-healing process. TCM uses a different approach and terminology to medicine than Modern (Western) Medicine or the Scientific Approach. It uses a more holistic and (whole-body) time-tested approach. While TCM uses different terminology for symptoms and illness than Modern Medicine, they are commonly used to complement each other.

How does it work?There are various scientific theories that try to explain how TCM works, but the truth is that the scientific theories that developed modern medicine (which are ~100 years old) is just beginning to understand this ancient medicine (over 3,000 years old). TCM mainly consists of acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical massage, cupping, gua sha, and moxa. Each specific service has advantages and disadvantages as well as differences in how it obtains the end result (healing). Generally speaking, the services we offer work on the nervous system (resetting pain, relaxing the body and sending signals to the brain to regulate functions). Services also work on the inflammatory response and help to trigger the self-healing process. TCM uses a different approach and terminology to medicine than Modern (Western) Medicine or the Scientific Approach. It uses a more holistic and (whole-body) time-tested approach. While TCM uses different terminology for symptoms and illness than Modern Medicine, they are commonly used to complement each other.

How does it work?There are various scientific theories that try to explain how TCM works, but the truth is that the scientific theories that developed modern medicine (which are ~100 years old) is just beginning to understand this ancient medicine (over 3,000 years old). TCM mainly consists of acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical massage, cupping, gua sha, and moxa. Each specific service has advantages and disadvantages as well as differences in how it obtains the end result (healing). Generally speaking, the services we offer work on the nervous system (resetting pain, relaxing the body and sending signals to the brain to regulate functions). Services also work on the inflammatory response and help to trigger the self-healing process. TCM uses a different approach and terminology to medicine than Modern (Western) Medicine or the Scientific Approach. It uses a more holistic and (whole-body) time-tested approach. While TCM uses different terminology for symptoms and illness than Modern Medicine, they are commonly used to complement each other.
