Our holistic skincare approach is to support you and your skin naturally to facilitate healing and help you to age confidently and gracefully.
Your skin can tell a story of what is going on with your overall health. Our goal is to “treat the root cause” of imbalances in the body. However, sometimes those imbalances leave their mark!
Our team of naturopathic doctors, registered acupuncturists, and medical aesthetician offer a variety of skincare treatments focusing on the face and the whole body. Unsure where to start? Book in for a 15-minute skincare consultation or read on for more information.
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves prickling the skin with tiny sterilzed needles, which prompts the body to produce more collagen and elastin to the area. This can lead to decreased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as decreased pigmentation and scarring.
Plasma-rich Protein (PRP) with microneedling is a powerful way to support skin health. It is a cosmetic treatment that uses fine needles to prick the skin while applying the plasma spun down from a sample of your blood. PRP contains proteins, including growth factors and cytokines, which help skin tissue repair itself, while the microneedling can stimulate collagen production to help reduce scans and signs of aging.
Neuromodulators (such as Botox, Nuceiva, etc) are considered a leading treatment for addressing fine lines and wrinkles. It helps to eliminate signs of premature aging and soften skins appearance by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. At Local Health, we use the Nuceiva product for our neuromodulator treatments.
Facial acupuncture promotes the production of collagen, reducing fine lines, scars, and bags. It illuminates your skin, working from the inside out and the outside in. We use microscopic needles to slowly reduce wrinkles and balance the whole body, and also light gua sha (done with a sleek jade tool) to smooth away stress and fatigue from the face.
Our aromatherapy treatment is a fusion of a specific sequence of high-grade essential oils with a light-touch massage technique over your head, neck, back, and feet to encourage your nervous system into a more restful (parasympathetic state). We close the treatment with a relaxing facial treatment using Gua Sha (a traditional chinese medicine tool) to release tension in the facial muscles and neck coupled with healing botanical oils to help revitalize the skin.
Gua Sha facial combines body acupuncture with facial Gua Sha techniques. Gua Sha moves lymphatic fluid, which decreases skin congestion, decreases puffiness and increases hydration- leading to a brightened complexion, and improved skin texture & tone. Topical hylauronic acid serum is combined with this therapy, which binds and absorbs water, helping to create fullness and plumping of the skin
