Treatments for Healthy Hair

 

Natural hair RestoratioN

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your skin and hair reflect the health of your body within. For this reason, acupuncture treatments that focus on skin or hair issues always include improving other aspects of your health.

Common conditions that can be treated with acupuncture and herbs include:

  • Hair loss due to hormonal imbalance (i.e. hypothyroidism, PCOS, male pattern hair loss)

  • Postpartum hair loss

  • Weak, brittle hair

  • Psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff

  • Rashes associated with candida

  • Premature greying

  • Receding hairline

  • Alopecia, hair loss, thinning hair

By treating hair conditions on the outside and within, you get longer lasting results. Side effects include improved overall blood circulation, brighter skin complexion, improved energy, stress reduction, and so much more. Many patients say that even months after their last treatment, their hair is still full!

 

Hair Restoration Treatments include:

  • A full consultation and evaluation

  • Full body acupuncture treatment to correct systemic imbalance

  • Topical hair mask with “Mermaid Hair” tonic, with a take-home custom made 2 oz bottle for daily use (2-3 week supply)

  • PhotoBioModulation (PBM) therapy using Red and Infrared lights by Celluma

  • Gua Sha scalp massage, to improve Qi & blood circulation in the scalp

  • Plum Blossom stimulation (aka Seven Star needling) a traditional micro-needling technique to stimulate hair follicles

  • Take-home guide with diet and lifestyle recommendations for healthy hair

Herbal medicine prescriptions are also available. The 2-in-1 Gua Sha Jade Comb by Yang Face is available for purchase for $45 (tax included). Under normal circumstances, patients notice new hair growth in 4 weeks. Results vary depending on underlying health conditions.

 

What is “mermaid hair” and how do i know it works?

“Mermaid Hair” is a daily hair tonic consisting of all-natural ingredients, including Eastern and Western herbal extracts scientifically proven to promote hair growth in various clinical studies (scroll down for references). It’s named “Mermaid Hair” because mermaids have amazing hair, right? It has received positive feedback from all its beta testers, with an average of 2-4 weeks for noticeable changes.

Each bottle is custom made according to your scalp type, hair type, and constitutional health. If you would like to purchase a bottle a la carte without a treatment, you may do so with a 10-minute consultation at $40 per bottle.

 

*Please Note: acupuncture treatments for cosmetic reasons are not covered by insurance. In order for your treatments to be covered by your health plan, you must have a diagnosed medical condition.
