Do you know WHY you have wrinkles, spot and general skin issues in certain locations on your face?

I do! That’s why I recommend specific protocols for specialized facials treatments. Each person has different root causes for their wrinkles.

In Chinese medicine, the appearance of wrinkles or skin abnormalities is not just a cosmetic issue but a potential reflection of underlying imbalances or stagnations in the body’s qi (vital energy), blood, or organs. Acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes may be recommended to address these imbalances, thus improving overall health and facial appearance.

In Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the face is considered a map of the body's internal health. Each region of the face is thought to correspond to specific organs or systems within the body. Wrinkles, abnormalities, or other facial changes in particular areas are believed to reflect imbalances or issues in the related internal organs. Here are a few examples of how different facial areas are interpreted:

1. Forehead

- Associated with the heart and the small intestine.

- Wrinkles or blemishes on the forehead might suggest issues with mental stress, digestion, or circulatory problems.

2. Eyebrow area (Glabella)

- Connected to the liver.

- Deep vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows might indicate liver imbalances, often linked to stress, frustration, or suppressed emotions.

3. Under-eye area

- Related to the kidneys.

- Puffiness, dark circles, or wrinkles under the eyes can be a sign of kidney imbalance or issues with fluid retention, sleep, or stress.

4. Cheeks

- Correspond to the lungs and stomach.

- Skin issues like redness or broken capillaries on the cheeks may point to respiratory issues, such as lung congestion or digestive imbalances.

5. Nose

- Associated with the spleen and pancreas.

- Redness or swelling in this area may indicate digestive problems, such as poor metabolism or spleen deficiency.

6. Mouth and lips

- Linked to the stomach and digestive system.

- Dry, cracked lips, or wrinkles around the mouth might suggest digestive issues, such as dehydration or an imbalance in stomach energy.

7. Jawline and chin

- Reflective of the kidney and reproductive system.

- Breakouts or wrinkles in this area can suggest hormonal imbalances or reproductive system issues, often associated with the kidneys' energy.

MicroNeedling & NanoNeedling

MicroNeedling is the insertion of very short fine needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. Dr. Lea Kelley uses a class 2 medical device called a Microneedling pen (electric) which is the most effective way as opposed to a roller or dermastamp.

The premise is simple: create a small wound and the skin will respond with collagen production and new skin cells! Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, this can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of scars and wrinkles.

MicroNeedling allows for 3000% more product absorption! Dr. Kelley uses holistic herbal topicals (serums). The apple stem cell serum is shown promote facial stem cell rejuvenation by over 80% Results are seen and felt even after the first treatment. Skin should glow and feel tigher.

Maxium results are shown when patients do between 4-6 treatments. One treatment per month. Results are shown to last between 4-6 years in research, without maintenance.

MicroNeedling creates micro channels in the skin. When those channels are created, the skin's own repair response is triggered to start "healing" and to produce collagen and elastin. This makes the skin tighter and smoother.

Unlike Microdermabrasion which removes layers of skin; microneedling creates channels in the skin for products to be absorbed and collagen/elastin to be produced.
Dr. Lea Kelley uses holistic herbal topicals/serums during and after the procedure which are based on Chinese Medicine healing and rejuvenating properties.

What is NanoNeedling?

NanoNeedling also uses a class 2 medical grade device that oscillates a tip up and down to stimulate the skin to react just as MicroNeedling except the nanoneedling tip has 81 silicone tips. Nanoneedling only affectthe epidermis, treating he upper .15 mm of the skin. The benefits of this serum infused treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejunvenation and and immediate glow with no downtime. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin.

Treatments are gentle.

Hyaluronic acid is used with both procedures. It is all natural and holds 1,000 times it's weight in water. This allows for deep hydration, nourishment and rejuvenation.

MicroNeedling is actually a 2,000 year old time tested treatment originating in ancient china. Emperors who wanted to live forever used this technique to remain youthful.

Light Therapy

You want more you ask?? YES! Along with your MicroNeedling or NanoNeedling session, Dr. Lea Kelley uses Light Therapy. RED, BLUE AND/OR YELLOW light is used while you are resting with your numbing cream. This panel has 1,226 LED lights!

LED light therapy alone can improve skin laxity and promote collagen production by 200%.
Improvement of fine lines
Improvement of wrinkles
Improvements of age spots
Improvements of sun damage
Improvements of dull skin

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Improves collagen and elastin production and stimulates fibroblast production. Microtrauma produced by acupuncture (or even Microneedling & Nanoneedling) activates a wound healing response, and mobilizes the flow of Qi and blood to the site of the insertion.

Facial acupuncture can increase muscle tone. This can cause the relevant areas to be lifted and toned.
Constitutional acupuncture can reduce under-eye bags and alleviate other sagging tendencies of the neck, jaw, nasolabial fold and upper eyelids. Various organ system (Chinese medicine) imbalances can cause sagging muscles, many folds below the neck, jowles, the smile lines of the nasolabial fold and the upper eyelids.
Sunken areas on the face can be “fleshed out” with facial acupuncture (especially the buccinator muscle and others.)
Puffiness, fine lines and larger wrinkles can be diminished. We must also address the emotional component.
The eyes are brightened, pores tightened and the skin looks more radiant.
Facial acupuncture increases local blood flow and lymph circulation, and improves facial color and tone.
Facial acupuncture has Psychospiritual benefits like
stress reduction,
feeling relaxed,
increasing endorphins,
may aid in better self-esteem by addressing emotions such as anger, fear, worry, depression, anxiety and more.

“The modern focus on the face tends to emphasize ideals of perfection - celebrities are judged to have the best features, and magazines and the cosmetic industry create dread and fear of any signs of aging on the face. This has led to a huge beauty industry that persuades millions of people to change their faces with plastic surgery, injectable fillers, laser resurfacing, and botox.

However, these treatments create the illusion of beauty, when real beauty resides in the emanation of the individual spirit, which the ancient Chinese called Shen. The face and the eyes show this spirit through a glow, and the removal of the emotional blockages that lodge in the body allows the Shen to manifest.” - Mary Elizabeth Wakefield
