Shiatsu

Cosmetic Acupuncture & Galvanic Spa
Women’s bodies function differently from men’s, and are more prone to changes and imbalances at different life stages such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, dieting, and menopause. Many women wish to remain youthful and beautiful, and as a result, interest in beauty and self-care continues to grow.
In reality, many women experience skin concerns such as wrinkles, dullness, dark circles, sagging, and acne. In addition, many also suffer from physical symptoms including cold sensitivity, swelling, stiff shoulders, menstrual pain, headaches, constipation, and insomnia.
Acupuncture can be highly effective in addressing these concerns unique to women.
In recent years, cosmetic acupuncture has gained popularity as a beauty treatment, but in fact it is a well-established therapy that has been used since ancient times.
It is a safe and effective beauty and wellness method with no side effects, and has been featured in the media as a treatment used by Hollywood actresses and celebrities. As a result, cosmetic acupuncture has attracted significant attention in Western countries.
The reason for its excellent results lies in the Eastern medicine philosophy that “skin problems are influenced by imbalances in both the body and the mind.”
By approaching beauty from both physical and mental aspects, cosmetic acupuncture not only improves the skin, but also enhances overall health and constitution. This holistic effect is one of the greatest benefits of acupuncture.

Galvanic Spa Treatment
We also use a Galvanic Spa device alongside acupuncture to further enhance results.
The Galvanic Spa uses a gentle galvanic current that alternates between positive and negative polarity. This current interacts with specially formulated positively and negatively charged gels, sometimes repelling and sometimes attracting them, helping to draw out impurities while pushing beneficial ingredients into the skin.
When the device is used, negatively charged cleansing gel penetrates deep into the pores, capturing and removing dirt and impurities.
After that, a positively charged gel containing moisturizing ingredients is applied, allowing hydration to deeply penetrate the skin layers, leaving the skin smooth and supple.
Finally, a pH toner and moisturizer are applied to hydrate the skin and provide UV protection.
We invite you to experience this treatment for yourself.
Lymph Massage
is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart.
The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system.
Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.

Clinical practice varies depending on the country. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, and cupping therapy.
