Smoothing Wrinkles, Revitalizing Skin through Acupuncture
Dr. Brayer also specializes in facial acupuncture, taking centuries-old principals and applying them to facial rejuvenation—smoothing lines and wrinkles, firming skin, shrinking pore size and smoothing scarring.
The treatment addresses the cosmetic effects on the face that are the outcome of many years of the skin adapting to life.
Acupuncture naturally re-creates the plumpness and glow skin often loses with aging by gently stimulating collagen, the cells that increase circulation and firm the skin. He does this with a two-fold approach, first using tiny acupuncture needles on specific points on the face. Then he uses a low-level photobiomodulation laser emitting near-infrared light to increase cells’ mitochondrial energy, so they replicate faster.
Filling in the “Missing Piece” of Traditional Medicine
Dr. Brayer became interested in chiropractic care when he was a college student planning on attending medical school. He experienced severe pain in his left knee and went to 12 doctors in three years who did not help him. He finally went to a chiropractor who immediately diagnosed the problem as damage to the growth plate resulting from a prior injury to his right leg. Within two weeks he was pain-free. That’s when he decided to become a chiropractor, to fill in the piece that traditional healthcare seemed to be missing.
Today, not only is Dr. Brayer director and founder of Living Tree Center for Healing, but he’s also a nationally published author of the book “The Stress Affect,” which explores why disease and aging occurs and how people can stop it.
