Mei Zen style of Cosmetic Acupuncture.
I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

If you're looking for help with cosmetic acupuncture in San Francisco, acupuncture cosmetic San Francisco, or for a San Francisco cosmetic acupuncture acupuncturist these professionals provide cosmetic therapies and alternatives to cosmetic surgery or botox. They include cosmetic acupuncture professionals, cosmetic acupuncture acupressure professionals, and cosmetic acupuncture acupuncturists. Cosmetic acupuncture San Francisco can help with cosmetics, cosmetic surgery, beauty cosmetics, skin care cosmetics and cosmetic care.

Acupuncture in San Francisco - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. San Francisco acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
