Acupuncture in Granite Bay, CA
Proven effective and practiced for thousands of years, acupuncture has an important place in modern health care. We look at a client's complaints or symptoms that shed light on a pattern of imbalance.

In our clinic we address:
acute and chronic pain
sports injuries
chronic muscle tension
scoliosis pain and postural imbalance
your mental and physical response to stress
quality of sleep
menstrual cycles
fertility
pregnancy
bladder and prostate dysfunction
gout
hormone regulation
digestion

palliative care
integrative cancer treatment
Cupping improves blood circulation, detoxification and lymphatic drainage, and breaks up adhesions between layers the skin, muscles, and connective tissues. Addressing soft tissue in this way restores movement and function. Cupping is included in our acupuncture treatments or can be scheduled without acupuncture.
Indirect moxa is a deeply warming adjunct to acupuncture. We use moxa to invigorate sluggish blood flow, improve circulation and pain, and correct a breech or posterior position pregnancy. Moxa is included in our treatments.
Cosmetic and Acne Treatments
Micro-Needling and Nano-Needling are treatments used to improve the skin's health and appearance. We use all natural, gentle serums and red light therapy with our cosmetic treatments. Regular body acupuncture may be added to cosmetic treatments for a truly comprehensive approach. Please see our scheduling page for pricing and package offerings!
Micro-Needling is a chemincal free non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses oscillating tiny needles that barely penetrate the epidermis. Micro-needling is gentle and can be done once per month. It is ideal for deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, deep acne scars, and hair loss. Micro-Needling stimulates the epidermis to firm up, regulate hydration, smoothe appearance, produce collagen, and fill in small lines and wrinkles. Four to five months of consecutive treatments are recommended, and produces long lasting results. Once you have achieved the benefits of micro-needling, you can return weekly for Nano-needling facials.
Ideal for:
Acne scars
Post-surgical scars
Firming skin and producing collagen
Hyperpigmentation
Melasma (brown or red spots)
Rosacea
Wrinkles
Hair loss
Enlarged pores
Nano-Needling
These microscopic hair-like silicon cones separate the cells within the epidermis to allow active products to be pushed into the skin. Nano-Needling only affects the epidermis, treating within the upper .15 mm of the skin. The benefits of this serum-infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an immediate glow with no downtime. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin. Nano-needling is the best service for finer lines & wrinkles, swelling, or sagging skin. We can treat lips, infraorbital ridge, and other sensitive areas with it.
