A Natural Lift

Time marches on and nowhere is that more apparent than on our faces. Crows feet, laugh lines, whatever you call them—the signs of aging seem to speed up in tandem with how busy our family’s lives get.

But we’re not throwing in the towel just yet. Multi-tasking is our specialty, so we’re seeking out smooth skin with a side of serenity from Johal Health Centre. This popular acupuncture clinic serves up non-surgical procedures to reduce the signs of aging based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

Hair-thin needles are inserted around the body’s median lines (and in those deep facial crevices we wish we didn’t have) to stimulate the flow of oxygen, blood and energy. This type of facial rejuvenation increases circulation, stimulates collagen production and most importantly, reflects what’s happening inside on the outside. While our wrinkles weren’t completely obliterated, lines were softened and we loved hearing from admirers how radiant our skin looked.

Johal Health Centre is not just about aesthetics. Those with allergies, food intolerances and inflammatory conditions may also find relief here, as will children and cancer survivors.

In case you didn’t get any time to yourself on Mother’s Day, be sure to book in at this holistic center. We think you deserve it.

Whether your idea of health runs more spa or spinning, we’ve got a wellness centre for you in our 10 Places to Get Fit in Calgary.
