Facial Acupuncture, Microcurrent and LED Light Therapy Research

• In a study in 1987,  Microcurrent was found to increase DNA protein and Collagen synthesis.

• In a 1992 study, a combination of Facial Acupuncture and Microcurrent facials improved signs of aging by 70%.  The treatment consisted of 10 - 15 treatments followed by regular "booster" treatments.  It helped increase collagen and elastin fibers in the skin.

• Studies show that among 300 cases treated with facial acupuncture, 90% had marked beneficial results with only one course of treatment (International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture, 1996).

• A 2005 study in Denmark established that LED Light Therapy boosts Collagen.

• Low-energy photon irradiation by light in the far-red to near-IR spectral range with low-energy (LLLT) lasers or LED arrays has been found to modulate various biological processes in cell culture and animal models. This phenomenon of photobiomodulation has been applied clinically in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and the acceleration of wound healing." NASA

5 Facts about Electrolysis Hair Removal

1. Permanent Hair Removal versus Permanent Hair Reduction.  The FDA distinguishes hair removal in the following categories;

"Permanent Hair Removal"  This means that the hair follicle is destroyed by the treatment.  This category is exclusively assigned to Electrolysis/Diathermy.

"Permanent Hair Reduction"  This means that the number of terminal hairs is significantly reduced, at least for a complete hair growth cycle.  This category applies to photo-epilation (Laser, IPL)

2.  Electrolysis Hair Removal treat all hair colours and all skin types.  Unlike laser which can only treat black hairs,  Electrolysis can treat all hair including blonde, red, grey and dark hair.

3.  Electrolysis is not that painful!   As result of improved machinery and good technique, the electrolysis treatment is now much more comfortable than it once was.

4. There is no risk of scarring.  Electrolysis has been around for 100 years with no adverse effects.

5. Electrolysis is not just for hair removal!  Electrolysis is very effective removal of  thread veins, milia, skin tags and other skin lesions.

Electrolysis Hair Removal | Five Star Review

I've been getting electrolysis done at Elmes Skincare Clinic for the last few months.  I was a bit nervous at first at the thought of the procedure, but the therapist who is nice, courteous and friendly put me at ease in a relaxed atmosphere with no distractions to help me settle.  It's professionally done where your needs are priority, not pricey at all and value for money!  Location is central and opening hours are flexible so you can drop in after work for an appointment.  I require a large area to be hair free from electrolysis and I have had good results so far!

Investigation of Acute Effects of Quchi (LI11) in Patients with Hypertension Using Heart Rate Variability

Investigation of Acute Effects of Quchi (LI11) in Patients with Hypertension Using Heart Rate Variability

Litscher G1, et al.

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease worldwide. Over 70% of the patients use antihypertensive drugs, so nonpharmacological treatments in addition to the medication are important.

Our goal was to investigate acupuncture treatment on the Quchi acupoint using heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) and to find out whether there is a laterality in acute effects.

Sixty hypertensive patients (36 female, 24 male; mean age ± SD 55.8 ± 9.7 years) were randomly assigned to two manual needle acupuncture groups (group A: left Quchi (LI11) acupoint, group B: right Quchi acupoint).

There was a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in HR immediately after inserting and stimulating the needle at the left and the right Quchi acupuncture point. In contrast, total HRV increased immediately after inserting the needle, but this increase was significant only towards the end of the stimulation phase and after removing the needle.

There were some differences between stimulation of the left and right Quchi acupoint, but they remained insignificant.

This study provides evidence that there is a beneficial effect on heart rate variability in patients with hypertension and that there are some effects of laterality of the acupoint Quchi.

Great Review of Elmes Acupuncture on Yelp

"I visited Ursula for a course of around 6 weekly acupuncture treatments in advance of undergoing IVF. The location of the clinic is central and convenient. Ursula was the ultimate professional and the treatment rooms in the spa make for a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I'm delighted to report I am now pregnant and have no doubt the acupuncture played its part. Thank you Ursula!"
