Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of main modalities of Traditional Chinese medicine used to treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. It encourages the body to promote natural healing and improve organ function while treating the root cause of the condition. It also promotes the release of serotonin and dopamine (feel good hormones) which is why you feel so good after an acupuncture session. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin disposable steel needles into the body’s vital energy points. These needles are strategically placed on the meridians and channels of the Traditional Chinese Medicine system. It promotes Qi (think of energy in your body) and blood circulation and stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities to re-establish balance and harmony within the body.
It is a phenomenal therapy to promote circulation, reduce internal inflammation and boost immunity. Acupuncture is also an amazing therapy to alleviate pain and decrease inflammation for acute and chronic conditions.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and effective way to reduce the signs of aging without the side effects of surgery or harmful chemicals. There are treatments to help with the face, neck and abdomen. What’s great is that results are not only long lasting, but it also helps to slow down the body’s aging process.
Cosmetic acupuncture improves complexion by creating micro-trauma to the skin, thus creating Qi and blood circulation to the area and stimulating the production and surge of collagen and elastin to help the skin look refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. This results in the firmer skin, reduction in wrinkles and tightening of the jowls. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, improve elasticity of the skin, reduce blemishes and acne scarring, improve complexion and even lighten age spots.
The special Cosmetic Mei Zen treatment that Stacey provides is such a great medicine because not only do patients get good cosmetic results, they also get great health benefits along with it. It is a safe and healthy modality to maintain or obtain a more youthful appearance. It is the best anti-aging medicine around to help you age as gracefully as you can.
This protocol is a minimum of ten treatments that are scheduled twice a week for five weeks. Then a reassessment would be done to see if further treatment is needed before discussing a good maintenance regimen.

“Stacey Wong’s acupuncture & massage techniques always leave me feeling so much better. Before my first treatment with Stacey, my back & abdominal pains were keeping me from enjoying long walks and even sleeping through the night. After seeing Stacey for acupuncture & massage sessions I could immediately feel the difference as my back started to feel stronger, my walks were longer and I was sleeping a lot better. Stacey has also improved my digestive issues. It's been a year since I had any abdominal discomfort.
Stacey’s compassionate and caring. Her treatments are focused on your own individual issues with a goal to improving your overall health. I highly recommend Stacey Wong."
