Tori and Marla from TOMA Essential Skin Therapies

AcuGlow™ facial is a high end facial rejuvenation system that combines acupuncture, essential oils, gua sha, facial cupping, LED red light therapy to reduce wrinkles and restore skin health naturally. It is a natural alternative to Botox® or surgery. AcuGlow™ is rooted in the Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques of gua sha and facial cupping to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, promote microcirculation and encourage cellular metabolism for a smoother and toned skin.

What Makes AcuGlow Facials Unique? 
The AcuGlow™ facial protocol and TOMA products were designed by acupuncturists and offered by an acupuncturist. The philosophy of seeing the skin as a reflection of what is happening in the body and thus treating the underling root cause of imbalance with acupuncture and holistic skin treatments creates a unique facial experience unlike traditional facials and more invasive skin treatments.

Gua Sha
Our acupuncturist uses a bian Gua Sha stone to treat the face, which is used to eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and lift and tone the skin.

Facial cupping
Cups used on the face are very small and gentle on the skin. Unlike cupping on the rest of the body, facial cups do not leave any marks as they are constantly moving. We also use a technique called “octopus kisses” on fine lines and wrinkles to relax muscle tension, stimulate collagen production, and strengthen the skin and connective tissue of the face.

LED Red Light Therapy
LED red light therapy (which stands for light-emitting diode) is a non-invasive, painless treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of infrared light to help treat various skin issues such as acne, fine lines, and wounds. The light is absorbed by the molecules in the skin, which in turn alters the biology of the cells. We will perform a mini-acupuncture treatment while you rest under the LED light therapy with the color of light depending on the goals of the session.
