Microneedling

Stand Alone Treatment $250

Microneedling is where modern technology meets the ancient art of acupuncture. Like facial acupuncture, the microneedling process creates microscopic channels through the skin, causing a wound healing response that can create new collagen and elastin fibers. It can soften scars and wrinkles, tighten skin and even out skin tone without ‘down time’.  Clients relax into the process with the customized application of essential oils, acupressure seeds, and tuning fork vibrational therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Trigger Point / Myofascial Release Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is an invaluable resource for increasing an athlete’s optimum performance during training and competition. Many top athletes use acupuncture to prevent injuries, as well as to speed recovery from existing injuries. At some point in your athletic training, you will most likely develop “trigger points” in your muscles from overuse and repetitive motions. Trigger points are small tender areas that develop in connective tissue, especially muscle. Inactive trigger points can cause stiffness and decreased range of motion. Active trigger points cause pain either at the site of the trigger point or referred pain that radiates out from the tender point. Active trigger points in one muscle group may cause pain that forces you to compensate and overload another muscle group, resulting in a frustrating downward spiral of pain, dysfunction and inability to enjoy sports activities.

Diana earned her Master’s degree at Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City. This is the only school in the United States that teaches an adaptation of trigger point therapy called Acupuncture Physical Medicine [APM]©.  APM is a comprehensive system combining classical meridian acupuncture with the treatment of trigger points using acupuncture needles to release tight bands of muscle. There are very few acupuncturists in Denver who are trained to perform this unique, effective method of treatment. As a yoga teacher for over a decade, Diana understands how keeping the body / mind connection strong will enhance your athletic performance. In her acupuncture practice, she uses visualization and breathing techniques to help you to relax your body while increasing concentration and focus. These tools are yours to take home and use in your active daily life. Diana may also recommend self-help through specific yoga poses or acupressure points to help you to relieve pain, build strength and increase flexibility.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses hair-thin, disposable needles to stimulate the body’s Qi, or energy, in the targeted area. The skin is thought to respond by building collagen and elastin, increasing skin suppleness and firmness.

A free half hour consultation is offered prior to treatments to determine if facial rejuvenation acupuncture is right for you. To achieve maximum results, a course of 10 treatments over a 5 – 8 week period is recommended. Results last approximately 3-5 years with quarterly maintenance visits.

Diana Horowitz, M.S., L.Ac. was introduced to facial rejuvenation acupuncture by the late Dr. Ron Rosen, L.Ac. in 2004. She re-certified in facial rejuvenation acupuncture in 2007 with Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, L.Ac., one of the nation’s leading aesthetic acupuncturists. Please read more about Wakefield’s pioneering work in the field of holistic aesthetic medicine at www.chiakra.com.

In October, 2014, Diana graduated with honors from a two year, 200 hour advanced certification program (in Minnesota, no less) to become a Gold Standard Certified practitioner with Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, L.Ac.! Diana was joined by 19 other acupuncturists who traveled from as far away as New Zealand to attend the program. She was determined to become ‘the best of the best’ in her field. Diana is “Gold Standard Certified” in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, the most comprehensive training program in the world. Diana became a nationally board certified teacher of facial rejuvenation acupuncture and in July, 2015, taught a three day, 24 hour basic certification course to other acupuncturists at the Southwest College of Acupuncture in Boulder, CO. She discovered the joys of teaching, and intends to teach for many years to come!

Diana offers what is best described as a ‘holistic healing extravaganza’ to her acupuncture patients. Imagine a ‘regular’ acupuncture session that balances your energy system, helping to optimize your sleep, mood, digestion, etc. On top of that:
* Layer on a luxurious facial with Sanitas products, jade rollers to smooth wrinkles, and therapeutic-grade essential oils to relax, yet stimulate the senses.
* Experience gentle, expertly placed needles on the face and neck to firm muscles, lift sagging skin, and improve blood circulation that brightens the complexion.
* Enjoy vibrational tuning fork therapy, bringing your brain into a profound Theta meditational state.
* Finish with an acupressure facial massage using Sanitas facial products.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is holistic medicine. In addition to the above, you may be offered customized dietary and other lifestyle recommendations that support the health of your skin. You may learn ‘facial gym’ exercises to support the acupuncture’s firming effects. Diana’s mission is to support you in your aesthetic and wellness goals!

Smoking Cessation:

Medical research has shown that acupuncture is a powerful tool that can help curb withdrawal symptoms of nicotine and support the process of quitting smoking. Dr. Michael Smith, who headed the premier substance abuse center utilizing acupuncture in the United States, said that “in addition to reducing withdrawal symptoms, acupuncture provides a strong calming effect on substance abusers and substantially reduces drug cravings.” Clients describe the effects of acupuncture as allowing them to feel relaxed yet alert. Please go to www.acudetox.com for more information. An appointment is made for the first morning that you have not had any cigarettes. During this initial visit we will discuss how to help make this transition as smooth as possible, and treatment will begin. Seven follow up visits are scheduled.
