Traditional Acupuncture, Cosmetic Acupuncture, Pre/Postnatal Care

a whole healing system that has been used for thousands of years, it is a comprehensive system of medicine that is based on a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Acupuncture and TCM focuses on the balance of the body’s vital energy, or “qi”, and the harmonious interaction of the body’s various systems. As a trained and Registered Acupuncturist Meghan will select a specific pattern of points to open these channels, to promote healing and to treat the root causes of what may be creating a variety of symptoms for the patient. That is the wonderful thing about this medicine, we do not focus on just one symptom, rather we look at the whole picture and treat what is the root cause of these different symptoms. Additionally, treatments can include other modalities that will also support the body’s healing including cupping, gua sha or moxibustion. Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of patterns including:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Pregnancy and Postpartum

  • Hormonal Support

  • Migraines

  • Arthritis

  • Pain

Also known as facial acupuncture, it is a 100% natural and safe form of anti-aging that has been around for thousands of years. It’s a specialized form of acupuncture that focuses on improving the appearance of tone and texture of the skin. It helps improve muscle tone and dermal contraction of the face and neck, as well as increases elastin production to help firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. During a cosmetic acupuncture treatment, fine needles are inserted into specific points to cause micro-traumas on the skin. This signals the body to increase circulation, lymph drainage and nutrients to the face while boosting the production of collagen and elastin to tighten skin.

Not only are we addressing concerns on the face, but we are treating the root causes of what might be contributing to them and people will experience health benefits beyond rejuvenation in their appearance. Other techniques like facial gua sha or cupping may be incorporated to further enhance the treatment. Cosmetic acupuncture treatments are typically done over a series of sessions to achieve the best results. Cosmetic Accupuncture is a option for those who are looking for:

Cosmetic Acupuncture

  • Improved tone and texture

  • Smoothed wrinkles

  • Muscle toning and dermal contraction

  • Elastin and collagen production

  • I came across Meghan Trompetter’s name while doing an internet search for Mei Zen acupuncture. How fortunate was I to find this wonderful acupuncturist. I cannot express how impressed I have been with the whole experience and the results. Meghan was professional and empathetic, she made me feel at ease from the beginning. It’s the first time in many years that I have had a practitioner of any kind that is really present.
