Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System™
Mei Zen is a cosmetic acupuncture system that is based on Chinese medicine. It promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood in the face, which in turn, increases muscle tone, elasticity, collagen production and skin moisture. Cosmetic acupuncture is healthier, less expensive, and virtually risk free. There are none of the side effects of modern treatments. This system not only treats the face or neck, but balances the whole body making you feel younger from the inside, out.
Consultation
Prior to receiving Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture, you must have a consultation to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this treatment. Please bring your calendar to this visit so we may schedule all sessions at once. Plan on a 20-minute consultation.
Treatments
Through research, clinical experience, experimentation and classwork, it has been determined that in order to receive the best results with the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System™, a series of 10 treatments are necessary. These are scheduled at the initial consultation for two treatments per week, for five weeks. Plan on a one-hour treatment.

You Really Don’t Have Anything to Lose! Just the Pain!

“My name is Juli and I’m 50 years old. I received a postcard from Mankato Acupuncture Clinic in January 2012 announcing her Open House. I couldn’t go that evening but it gave me the push I needed to call for an appointment.
I was having a lot of shoulder pain and wasn’t sleeping at night. Stephanie made me feel very comfortable. After we visited a bit I had no fear to move forward to have her needle me. Stephanie is an awesome listener and tries to address any and all issues you have going on. Being needled is NOT painful. In fact, it is so relaxing that if you don’t take a nap, that would be unusual.
Not only did my shoulder pain disappear, but many, many, many other aches and pains and medical issues improved. I’ve also had Chron’s for 38 years and acupuncture helps me stay in remission. I have never felt this good in my 38 years with this disease! Six years ago my knees were so bad it hurt to bend, exercise, bike or kneel. It really put a hamper on my active lifestyle. I was even recommended to have surgery but because of acupuncture, I didn’t need to have that. I run, bike, do yoga, garden and am very active. If my knees start to hurt, I see Stephanie and am good to go again.
I would recommend Stephanie Hylla and acupuncture for whatever ails you. You really don’t have anything to lose! Just the pain!”
