Acupuncture has been touted as a less-invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. While I personally believe that procedures attempting to halt or deny the aging process can be roadblocks to aging gracefully, facial acupuncture does offer a safer approach than surgery and is free of the side effects of therapies such as Botox injections. It may also have psychological benefits – patients may feel relaxed as a side-effect of the acupuncture.
Desiree Merulli has practiced acupuncture since 2001 and massage therapy since 1998. Desiree employs a gentle acupuncture technique to allow your body to adjust to the needles before balancing the Qi. During your treatment session, non-needle therapeutics including fire cupping, tuning forks and massage therapy are incorporated to enhance the acupuncture treatment so you leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
