Welcome to Mandala!

Cosmetic Acupuncture

The cosmetic protocols offered at Mandala for Cosmetic Acupuncture by our practitioners Dallas Nye and Jacqueline Rioux are ones that they are very passionate about. It is a cosmetic procedure that is not only holistic in nature but also extremely effective. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, this vibrant medicine treats imbalances inside the body within the energetic system as well as increases collagen and elastin production in the face and stimulates fat loss in other areas of the body. This is simply the best and safest anti-aging medicine around.

Through the insertion of fine, filiform needles into the body and face, we are able to approach beauty two ways; micro-injuries made with the needles help to increase blood flow and nutrients to the area and help with plumping and color and using body points we balance out the internal organs, making the individual healthier overall, which then shows through on the surface.
In Chinese medicine, we often look at the quality and quantity of both blood and Qi (energy) when dealing with any sort of concerns with clients therefore it may take a few treatments of balancing before we begin any of the cosmetic protocols below. Once we start however, you should notice improvements within a few sessions.

Cosmetic Improvements

  • A reduction in fine lines – with some that may disappear
  • A ‘leveling’ of deeper lines.  These lines may never disappear completely, but they can fill up and look softer
  • Jowls can be minimized.  Defining the jaw line is a common outcome
  • Improvements in acne and rosacea
  • Skin gets softer, more vibrant
  • Cheeks get smoother
  • Overall skin tone becomes more consistent
  • Age spots can fade
  • Pore sizes decrease and oil secretion is regulated

What to Expect

 Cosmetic Acupuncture consists of a course of 11 treatment sessions.  Your first visit will include an in depth overall health assessment including a body balancing acupuncture treatment.  This initial treatment will then set the stage for the series of cosmetic based sessions. Thereafter, you will receive ten sessions administered twice weekly for 5 weeks or if scheduling is an issue you may come once weekly after the first 3 weeks.

* Both Dallas and Jacqueline would be happy to talk to you further. If you have any questions about Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment, do not hesitate to contact the clinic.

How does it Work?

• Promotes blood and lymph circulation
• Rehydrates the skin's external layers
• Helps exfoliation
• Increases nutrition to the skin's surface
• Allows healthy "breathing" of the skin
• Increases oxygen consumption of the skin's external layer
• Stimulates the production of elasin and 4 collagen proteins
• Reduces and relaxes the tension in the nerves and muscles

"From a TCM standpoint, the treatment is balancing your overall Qi (energy), thereby improving your general health.  What you see on your face and body is indeed, at least in part, due to the state of your overall health.  From a more modern medicine point of view what is happening is that the needles cause micro-trauma in the skin.  Since the body perceives that as an injury, it likely sends fibroblasts – cells that can form collagen and elastin – to those sites to heal them.  It is therefore possible that your collagen and elastin stores get more abundant from the needling.  The wound healing process may have the effect of balancing the dispersal of collagen as well so that results are widespread, not just in certain areas.  All of this would explain why the skin tone improves, why your skin is more elastic/supple, and why things lift”
