Cosmetic Acupuncture Dublin, Dublin County

Facial rejuvenation is a cosmetic technique used to encourage new cellular growth, enrich the complexion and boost skin and muscle tone. This is achieved by invigorating the vital life force energy Qi and encouraging the blood supply to the face. The acupuncturist inserts small disposable needles into the face or if you have a phobia of needles they can achieve the same effect by applying pressure to the same acupuncture points. If needles are used they will not penetrate deeply, only being inserted just under the surface of the skin. Acupuncturists tend to encourage those opting for facial rejuvenation to commit to a healthy diet and good skincare. Results can show a decided improvement after just one treatment. At the end of treatments, the person will not only benefit from looking in the mirror and feeling good about themselves. They will also get the increased benefit of an energetic and holistic treatment that balances mind, body and spirit. So why not gift yourself or a loved one with this beauty treatment? Acupuncture believes that to keep your skin looking good on the outside, it is important to work on what is inside.

Fertility Undoubtedly, the area of fertility is Health and Harmonys Number One specialism. We understand how trying and frustrating infertility issues can be for any couple. Our chief practitioner, Dr Jane Li has had over 25 years of experience in reproductive health and is a TCM expert in the field ranging from conception, each trimester of pregnancy to post-natal care as well as male infertility issues. Fertility issues can be caused by underlying health conditions such as uterine fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis or polycystic ovaries. Infuriatingly, they can also be unexplained. At Health and Harmony, our treatments aim to complement whichever path you have decided to follow to conception. You can opt for TCM alone or TCM can assist in raising the chances of success with in-vitro fertilization. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees fertility as the balance of Qi, Yin, Yang and Blood and problems can be treated on the basis of a careful differential diagnosis to resolve underlying patterns of disharmony. There may be either a "deficient" condition that leads to poor nourishment of the body and organs or an "excess" condition that obstructs the organs and energy channels. Often, the stress of attempting to conceive can be counter-productive. The statistics published by the Fertility and Sterility medical journal has estimated that 26% of women undergoing IVF became pregnant following the procedure compared to 43% who received acupuncture before and after IVF. This equates to a nearly 50% increase in effectiveness of IVF combined with acupuncture. Treatment with TCM is highly individualised and comprise of a mixture of both herbal medicine and acupuncture. We prefer to treat both the male and female partner, in our experience, even without issues of sperm count and motility, the additional boost can speed up the process significantly.

Acupuncture Acupuncture is arguably the best known branch of traditional Chinese medicine, as a treatment, it can be traced back 5,000 years. As a form of stimulus therapy, acupuncture is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine to restore health by way of correcting imbalances in the body. Acupuncture aims to regulate the meridians or channels of the body to re-open the Qi or energy of the body that may be blocked. Meridians (or channels) are a complex system of lines running over the body linking various points on the body’s surface. The Meridian system distributes Qi, Blood and Fluids around the body. Each Meridian has the same therapeutic and diagnostic associations as a particular organ of the body. There are two types of Channels: the regular Channels (called the Jing Mai) and the smaller offshoots of the main Channels called the collaterals (or Luo Mai). There are 14 main Meridians, one for each of the Organs, plus the governing and reception vessels (Du Mai and Ren Mai respectively). These help to regulate the flow of Qi and Blood. Tiny needles are inserted into the body at specific points. The sensations associated with acupuncture cannot be likened to pain, depending on the acupoint, sensations can vary between a pinch and an expanding feeling of the relevant area. At Health and Harmony, we only use one-use sterile acupuncture needles. We have found acupuncture to be the most popular form of TCM treatment when it comes to musculoskeletal pain but it should not be underestimated in treatments for infertility, respiratory conditions and digestive well-being.

Facial Rejuvenation/Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a painless, non-surgical, positive, holistic alternative which is somewhat of new phenomenon, but in fact goes back thousands of years and can enhance not only your physical appearance but also your overall health, reducing signs of the aging process and giving you a glow that radiates from deep within. Although this procedure is often referred to as ‘Acupuncture Facelift’, it is more than just a cosmetic procedure.

THE BENEFITS OF A HOLISTIC PEDICURE AND MANICURE The benefits of a holistic pedicure and manicure include much more than just the appearance of your hands and feet. Most treatments will include exfoliation to remove dead cells, smoothing the surface and stimulating regeneration. Calluses and dead skin are removed from the feet, leaving the skin soft and healthy looking. Special cuticle treatments and moisturizers are used to hydrate the skin and nourish the nails and cuticles, providing your nails with longevity and making them stronger at the same time. The massage in a pedicure or manicure is one of the most important parts. Massaging certain spots on someone's foot or hand sends signals to other parts of the body to encourage overall health improvement anywhere in the body. Depending on the amount of pressure, the area being worked on, and the ailment of concern, you can benefit from results from stress relieve, relieve of sinus congestion to improved sleeping pattern. By using organic essential oils and natural creams/scrubs there are additional benefits above and beyond the physical. Certain scents and oils can be beneficial for improving circulation, focus, memory and mood. The smell of lime invigorates the mind, sugar excites, vanilla relaxes and lavender calms. The addition of natural scents will make your pedicure great, instead of just good. At the end of the treatment you will certainly be relaxed, feeling rejuvenated and in better health. WHAT HAPPENS IN A TREATMENT? The Treatment begins with a short consultation. This is necessary in order to establish if there are any medical reasons/contra-indications why the client may not be suited to treatment.
