This 90 minute Acupuncture Facial treatment tonifies the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and boosts collagen and elastin of the face. Benefits also promote deep relaxation on the infrared Biomat and an option for red light therapy. During this treatment, acupuncture points in the ears, scalp, body and face are used in combination with the application of Arbonne or Dr Haushka skincare products and a refreshing peppermint foot rub. For best results, it is recommended to book 10 consecutive treatments in a row, and then use individual treatments as "tune ups" for maintaining better looking skin and a rejuvenated glow.


Microneedling

Microneedling, a.k.a. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) uses the skin’s own ability to heal itself using a sterile microscopic needle to trigger the production of new collagen. Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that involves using a Acu-micro pen to create microscopic holes in the skin’s surface, followed by applying a topical hydrating product directly onto the surface of the skin.

Microneedling, a.k.a. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) uses the skin’s own ability to heal itself using a sterile microscopic needle to trigger the production of new collagen. Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that involves using a Acu-micro pen to create microscopic holes in the skin’s surface, followed by applying a topical hydrating product directly onto the surface of the skin. The microchannels created by microneedling then allow the skincare product to penetrate deeply into the skin, hydrating it from within.

This, combined with the trauma healing response in the skin that microneedling stimulates, allows your skin to produce more collagen and elastin whilst staying hydrated.

Microneedling has been shown to reduce the visibility of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles; diminish hyperpigmentation; and improve skin tone and texture, resulting in smoother, firmer, younger looking skin. Noticeable benefits typically occur between 2-4 weeks following the treatment; and best results follow after a series of 3-6 sessions.

In my practice, I strive to be a good listener and to become an integral part of my patient’s health and healing journey. Combining Acupuncture, herbs, nutritional medicine and bodywork, I try to draw from a broad knowledge and years of continued studies to treat patients in the most appropriate way for the individual. Since the first time I received Acupuncture, I understood it to be one of the most powerful treatment modalities available. After graduating from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine with my Master of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2005, I started my practice in Portland Oregon. Since then, I have been specializing in Facial Acupuncture, Acupuncture for Women’s health, Fertility and Pregnancy, and Acupuncture for Pain and Injury.

I work with patients who are looking to improve their health, wellness, vitality, and longevity, as well as those recovering from injuries and motor vehicle accidents. I believe healing, health, and wellness practices need to be tailored to each individual and I work with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms, pain, and dysfunction and help you return to a balanced state. I use a wide range of modalities including acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition, nutrigenomics (how nutrition and lifestyle factors can impact the way your genes behave), functional medicine, cupping, bodywork, and health coaching to assist you in optimizing your health. I love working with patients to improve digestive imbalances, metabolic health, autoimmune conditions, inflammation and pain, migraines, stress management, energy, mental clarity, and healthy aging.

I received my Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and am currently pursuing a MS in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at the University of Western States. I also hold certifications in Change Management, Whole Person Coaching, and a Masters in Organizational Leadership.

Alison Mckenzie, LAc

My speciality is providing holistic healthcare through the Chinese Medicine Model, incorporating acupuncture, herbs, cupping, gua sha, and tuina to help patients regain their balance and improve their overall well-being. I seek to understand the root of the patient’s healthcare concerns while continuing to address the current symptoms. I graduated from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2013 and have completed additional coursework in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for fertility, babies and children, mental emotional disorders, fibromyalgia, and thyroid conditions. I have extensive experience in working with auto injury recovery, post-surgery recovery, sports injuries and musculoskeletal pain, migraines, and women’s health, including prenatal support, as well as residual effects of Lyme disease, providing immunity and allergy support, and side effects of cancer treatments.
