Acupuncture Healing at Sesen

Sesen Skin Body Wellness acupuncture treatments are customized for our patients toward achieving the healthiest and happiest life possible.

Acupuncture uses fine needles at certain points on the body’s meridians that are chosen by the practitioner according to the imbalance of the body. The tip of the needle meets the qi, in the meridian in order to create balance between yin and yang, and to promote the free flow of qi.

At Sesen, our treatments are targeted at the root cause of your ailments rather than a quick fix. We never recommend a longer treatment than is required—getting you out of our office and back to your everyday life as soon as possible.

We are constantly researching, collaborating, and furthering our education to learn more and to serve your specific individual needs.

Acupuncture Follow-Up Treatment

During these appointments, you can expect the following:

Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment

Facial acupuncture works to stimulate production of collagen and elastin in the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also activate flaccid muscles in the face that cause sagging, relax muscles that have become tight, improve hyperpigmentation from sun damage and heal facial scarring. We use facial acupuncture in conjunction with LED light therapy, facial gua sha and cupping.

Body Cupping Add-On

Cupping is a simple and effective therapeutic technique that warms and moves qi and blood in the meridians. We apply glass cups to the body along muscles, leaving them stationary or sliding them to relax the muscles and sinews. This supplementary treatment is extremely relaxing and akin to the feeling of a deep tissue massage. Cupping can be used for pain, headaches and dizziness, cough, asthma, the common cold and menstrual pain.

Whole Body & Cosmetic Acupuncture

Combination treatment to treat the whole body and face.
