Overindulge during Quarantine? Let us help.

The past four months have brought unprecedented circumstance, and have turned our lives upside down. For many of us, COVID-19 has made our routines that we knew and loved and thrived with seemingly nonexistent. We are working from home, caring for our children, not leaving our houses, missing our friends and for many — our healthy habits may have taken a hit.

Whether you’ve gained a few pounds from overindulging or lack of exercise while quarantined (which is totally understandable!) or are looking to take control of your health and your body in new ways, we’re here to help!

Acupuncture for Weight Loss

Scientists have found that acupuncture and weight loss are related in the way that acupuncture treatments can help to reduce leptin, the hormone which regulates fat storage and increases ghrelin, the hormone which controls meal initiation.

Additional findings have concluded that acupuncture for weight loss also helps in liver functionality (the part of our body which is also responsible in part for effective digestion, breaking down fats and absorbing nutrients).

Cyro-Slimming

Our coveted cryo-slimming device uses thermal shock which preserves the surrounding non-fat tissue, resulting in a much more dramatic slimming effect.

The device we use is incredibly safe (or else we wouldn’t use it!) and each session lasts about 30 minutes alternating between heat, a longer period of cold, and then heat again. This is all done manually by our technician and feels like a massage.

Results will vary from client to client, but scientific research and clinical trials have proven this approach reduces fat cells. The cells are destroyed during the treatment, and most are then eliminated from the body within 2-3 weeks. We typically will provide treatment once every two weeks, to allow enough time for elimination and your metabolism to send the fat cells out on their merry way.
