MORISHIGE

Specializing in the following TCM Facial Enhancements and Procedures

 

TCM Facial Rejuvenation:

Results are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3–6 monthly treatments. Results will continue to progress for several months after the last treatment. Results can last up to 5 years! Conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, TMJ and sinus pressure and other facial d/o are also relieved.

 

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture: treatments utilize theory, diagnosis, point prescriptions, dietary, and homecare for patients.

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture: Muscles of Expression: focuses on the muscles of expression from a Western anatomical and physiological perspective. Acupuncture points and point prescriptions are used for their ability to influence muscle function and their affect on the aging process.

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture: Skin and Skin Disorders: delivers an advanced cosmetic acupuncture experience. I utilize in-depth knowledge, strategies, and treatment for skin, aging skin, and skin conditions as they pertain to Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Treatments include wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (sunspots), face and under eye edema, dark circles under the eyes, skin conditions (oily, dry, etc), acne, rosacea, dermatitis, eczema and more. I customized skin care regimes, products, and specific product ingredients for your personal skin type. 

 

Acupuncture, Micro-needling & Nano-needling:

erase fine lines, diminish deeper wrinkles, lift sagging eye lids, reduce bags/circles, firm the jowls and minimize a double chin by improving muscle tone and increasing collagen production. Eliminate puffiness by improving metabolism, eliminating excess fluids and improve hormonal balance, benefit acne, increase circulation of blood and lymph to the face and improve facial color. Optimize moisturize balance and nutrient absorption of the skin and tighten pores. Significantly reduce the appearance of scars and age spots. Slow the aging process from within and reduce stress evident in the face by promoting overall health and well being. 

​

Micro-needling targets as deep as the skin’s dermis, it’s best used for issues rooted deep within the skin, such as deep lines and scars. This is perfect for stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative process.

​

Nano-needling may be right for you if you have a needle phobia, or are allergic to lidocaine in numbing creams. It’s also a better option if your issues lie only on the skin’s surface (i.e., the epidermis) and if you’re wary about the uncommon side effects that microneedling poses. This treatment is most commonly used to address the following concerns:

​

• Aging skin

• Fine lines

• Hyperpigmentation

• Large pores

• Scarring

• Stretch marks
   

Nano-needling can also be used to target crow’s feet and lip lines. As a minimally invasive procedure, it's suitable for sensitive spots or areas where chemical peels or microdermabrasion can’t be performed on. Aside from this, though, the procedure also triggers the skin’s natural regenerative processes—it boosts collagen and elastin production, which allows the skin to heal and address different target issues. Other major benefits, nano-needling can also do the following:

​

• Increase skin smoothness and hydration

• Exfoliate the skin

• Improve microcirculation in treated skin

• Even out skin tone

• Improve skin texture and acne scarring

• Make lines and wrinkles less noticeable

• Make the skin healthier and firmer

• Enhances the skin’s ability to absorb serums that are beneficial for the skin

​

Dr. Gina Morishige applies a combination of techniques to address your unique issues and goals. 

 

It’s a NATURAL SOLUTION with little downtime that improves overall health AND appearance of wrinkles on face and neck. Safe for all skin types.

​

There are little known side effects for these procedures, but there are many contraindications for micro/nano-needling. 

This procedure may not be suitable for people who have the following:

​

• Keloid or raised scarring

• Infections from Herpes Simplex

• Diabetes

• Recent facial injections (usually, within 10 days from treatment)

• Scars less than 6 months old

• Raised lesions, moles, or warts

• Open cuts, wounds, or abrasions

• Active acne or cold sores

• Immune-suppression diseases

 

Facial cupping & Gua-sha

This treatment will bring collagen to the surface, reduces puffiness & dark circles, diminish lines, drain nasal sinuses and lymphatic system. The increased local blood supply will bring nourishment to the muscles and skin and allow for toxins to be carried away through the blood vessels via the cutaneous circulatory and the lymphatic system.
