Acupuncture / E-Stim

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a highly effective form of alternative healing. By inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture works to alleviate blockages and promote systemic balance. These micro-injuries trigger the brain to send signals to the targeted areas, activating the body’s natural healing process.

​

Acupuncture also stimulates the Central Nervous System, releasing beneficial, naturally occurring chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. This process helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore overall harmony.

​

For muscle tension relief, our Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling techniques target sore, aching muscles. By causing a controlled "fasciculation" or twitch in the muscle, we help it return to its natural, elongated state, reducing pain and tension, and restoring mobility.

​

*Electronic Stimulation Acupuncture available 

 

Electrical Stimulation Acupuncture is a modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture. In this technique, lead wires are attached to the acupuncture needles after they are inserted into the skin, providing a continuous electrical current that stimulates the needles. This steady, controlled stimulation enhances the therapeutic effects of the treatment, promoting a stronger and more sustained healing response.

​

By combining traditional acupuncture with electrical stimulation, this technique helps accelerate the body’s natural recovery process, making it an ideal option for those seeking an advanced, effective approach to pain relief, muscle recovery, and overall wellness.

Tui Na / Gua Sha

TuiNa, meaning "Push and Pull," is a traditional Chinese form of soft tissue manipulation, often referred to as "massage." Unlike conventional massages focused on relaxation, TuiNa is a therapeutic technique aimed at addressing specific patterns of imbalance or disharmony in the body.

This powerful method works to relieve tension, restore balance, and promote healing. While it’s primarily used for targeted treatment, many clients also find it deeply satisfying and rejuvenating. TuiNa offers both effective relief and the added bonus of feeling great, making it a holistic approach to wellness and recovery.

Aesthetic Acupuncture

Aesthetic Acupuncture is an excellent treatment for addressing fine lines, improving skin tone, texture, and overall complexion. This anti-aging therapy works from the inside out by stimulating acupuncture meridians (energetic pathways) to not only keep your face looking youthful but also balance internal body systems, promoting overall well-being and health—a truly holistic facial.

​

What’s Included:

  • Body acupuncture points to support facial rejuvenation

  • Optional facial intradermal needle treatment

  • Light lymphatic massage paired with Facial Gua-Sha or cupping

  • A take-home organic, high-quality aftercare kit

​

Enhance Your Results:

  • Add an Infrared Light Therapy Facial for just $25 (20 minutes)—this highly recommended combo elevates your treatment to the next level!

​

Starting facial rejuvenation or microneedling in your late 20s or early 30s is an ideal way to prevent fine lines from deepening. But if you're beyond your 30s, don’t worry—this treatment delivers noticeable improvements to mature skin as well. For a more dramatic effect, microneedling is another powerful option in this category, providing outstanding results for a youthful, radiant appearance.

Ionic Foot Detox

Our Ionizing Foot Detox treatment uses a low-voltage electric current to charge the atoms in water molecules, creating an ionized environment that’s believed to help neutralize and draw out toxins from your body. These positively charged ions are said to attract the negatively charged toxins, pulling impurities from your system through your feet, much like a magnet.

​

As the ions in the water bind to heavy metals and toxins, the detoxification process begins, leaving you feeling lighter and more refreshed. At Estetica, we enhance this relaxing experience by having you sit in a heated massage chair while your feet soak in Pure Dead Sea Salt with added essential oils for extra rejuvenation. We even apply a few detoxifying acupuncture points during the session, ensuring maximum benefit. To further the effects, you’ll leave with a bamboo foot detox pad to use in the days following your visit, extending the relaxation and cleansing process.

Cupping

Cupping therapy involves the use of various-sized cups as suction devices placed on the skin. This gentle suction works to break up stagnation and congestion by drawing blood, energy, and other fluids to the surface, helping to promote healing and restore balance.

​

Cupping is an effective treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, reducing tension, relieving pain, and improving circulation. Beyond its physical benefits, cupping also supports overall wellness by encouraging the free flow of energy throughout the body, making it a powerful tool for both pain relief and holistic health.

​

*Fire cupping also available

By lying on a specially designed infrared mat embedded with real crystals aligned with your body's chakras—from head to toe—this treatment harnesses the healing power of both infrared light and the natural energy of crystals.

​

The infrared light penetrates deep into your body, helping to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. The strategically placed crystals enhance the healing by balancing your energy centers, allowing for an even deeper sense of calm and alignment. This unique combination not only soothes physical discomfort but also supports emotional and energetic well-being.
