Soothing more than your skin with wellness services for your total health
Total wellness is at the heart of everything we do at Pua Manu MedSpa. As important as your skin’s appearance is, it is one part of your “self” that we account for when supporting your best health. Our expert team in Kapolei, Hawaii, also understands the links between different types of treatments and how the health of the skin can both reflect and impact the health and function of the body.
What wellness solutions do you offer?
Services like microcurrent treatment, BBL (Broadband Light therapy), and HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy) can be used to treat aesthetic concerns and promote the healthy function of other parts of your body. We may also recommend infrared sauna therapy and/or ear seeding as appropriate.
How does microcurrent treatment work?
All microcurrent applications largely work in the same way; a small device delivers mild electrical impulses to stimulate the skin and muscles. It is considered a “nonsurgical facelift,” and it may also be recommended to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, ease the symptoms of TMJ Disorders (of the jaw joints), improve vertigo and shoulder pain, and much more. The quality of life benefits of this treatment are varied and go beyond the “lift” that it provides to saggy, wrinkled, and lined areas of the face and neck.
What are some ways you use BBL (beyond for aging skin)?
Our medical spa director, Dr. Nancy Chen, is a board-certified eye surgeon and ophthalmologist. Dr. Chen has considerable knowledge about various treatments for ocular/eye-related diseases and conditions. These treatments include nonsurgical light-based therapy with the BBL system. She may recommend treatment for patients with conditions like chronic dry eye and styes. In part, the intense pulsed light from the BBL device treats harmful bacteria and promotes healthy lubrication. In treating these conditions, she protects against further complications and damage to the eyes.
How do you use HBOT for aesthetics and other health concerns?
By promoting enhanced oxygenation, we can speed wound healing, reduce inflammation, boost collagen, and improve the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and more. HBOT is also popular among athletes. This therapy helps to fast-track recoveries after injuries threaten to sideline an athlete’s progress, endurance, and overall performance. It also aids with mental focus, which aligns well with sports performance. Lastly, research shows that patients with certain conditions (like MS, fibromyalgia, and insomnia) can benefit from the regular use of HBOT.
How might infrared sauna and ear seeding help me?
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared sauna therapy generates warmth that targets certain areas and penetrates directly into the skin. It also delivers therapeutic heat while minimizing the high temperatures associated with conventional sauna treatment. Everything from sore muscles to anxiety and stress can be treated with this innovative twist on the sauna experience, as this service boosts blood circulation, induces relaxation, and overall “warms the soul.” Ear seeding is another innovation in an age-old treatment: acupuncture. These small, square-shaped bandages contain the ripened seed of the Vaccaria herb, a natural healer. When applied to specific acupressure points in the ear, we can protect against and/or manage numerous health concerns – from indigestion to chronic pain.
