At Grand Wellness, we focus on our beauty treatments with a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach. While most people come for the cosmetic benefits, you will leave feeling in-tune with your entire body and health. Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment used to treat individual skin concerns by stimulating collagen production. Creating micro-punctures into the skin using mini sterilized needles, we are taking advantage of the body’s natural healing response. Facial rejuvenation is designed to improve facial appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while improving facial muscle tone. Very fine needles will be placed on the face to encourage natural collagen and elastin production. In addition, body points will be inserted at both treatment types.
In a perfect world, we'd all practice preventive healthcare. Keeping our bodies functioning optimally helps prevent illness, injury and stress. Currently, we are putting together an affordable membership that allows patients to be consistent with their care. More details and pricing information coming soon!
