ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a medical treatment primarily using the insertion of tiny needles into the body at certain points to balance the interconnection of your mind-body health. Colleen practices both Chinese and Japanese treatment styles, picking the right one for you and combining them when appropriate. Needle Shy? Acupressure utilizes the same point system with pressure applied with the hands or rounded blunt tools instead of needles.
Most commonly used to treat; acute or chronic pain, new or lingering illness, stress/anxiety/depression and emotional discomforts, hormonal imbalance, headache/migraine and sleep and digestive disorders - though Acupuncture is known to be effective in treating over 200+ conditions!

MICRO & NANO NEEDLING
Micro and Nano-needling treatments combat fine lines and wrinkles, acne and scarring, hyperpigmentation or discoloration such as sun damage or "liver spots". Treatments boost elasticity, and addresses skin concerns by smoothing texture and leaving your skin glowing by triggering your body’s self-rejuvenation process. Treatments can be given on most areas of the body.
Needling stimulates collagen production in the skin by safely infusing active ingredients from your serum through tiny nano-channels, allowing up to 97% product absorption, and kick starts your bodies production of new skin cells, collagen and elastin. Multiple treatments are typically required (though improvements may be noticed after just one) and results can last up to 5 years!
Depth of penetration is the largest difference between the types of treatments - we will help you decide which is best for your needs.
