\u201cNatural\u201d and \u201cnon-invasive\u201d are phrases that were once scoffed at by the beauty industry, perhaps because of the perception of (in)efficacy. However, in an industry as broad as ours, there is always a new treatment to consider, a new ingredient to drool over, or even a renaissance of thought. Acupuncture is an ancient medicine where the use of itsy-bitsy needles placed strategically on specific areas of the body make real, physiological changes. In this episode, we explore cosmetic acupuncture with licensed acupuncturist Rachael Rose to understand how this protocol balances the physiological landscape of lackluster, sagging, aging skin. What is it? How does it work? Could it be an excellent complement to our esthetic services? All questions answered in this podcast.

About our Sponsor: Antedotum
\xa0
Antedotum founder Karina Perez\xa0Marconi was\xa0raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age\u2014and cumulative sun damage for the Latina\u2019s olive skin.\u202fFor decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana.\u202fWorking for many years in beauty at Chanel\u2019s New York headquarters deepened Marconi\u2019s understanding of premium\xa0skin care. But\xa0finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive.\u202fWhen the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.\u202f\xa0
\xa0
Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of oils and balms.\u202fNone of them smelled or looked great, but to her surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery evolved into\xa0Antedotum.
