This photo was taken after four facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments that include intradermal needles to increase collagen, acupuncture needles to stimulate tone and red LED light therapy to further increase collagen and promote cell turnover. This patient also had a series of three microneedling treatments earlier in the year.
The nontoxic, no mess beach tar remover! Don't get stuck with tar on your feet, keep one in your car and one at home. Â
This product has an oil base with gentle grit added to scrub-off the tar. Unlike oils this product can withstand high temperatures to ensure as little mess as possible.Â
How To Use
Just swipe some of this paste on a napkin and rub away the tar. WIPE OUT effectively rubs off clean, leaving a non-greasy matte felling to the skin. Use as much as you need as often as needed.
Red LED Light Therapy has been gaining traction in medical literature as an adjunct fertility treatment al. The therapy involves red LED (light emitting diode) and near infrared to shine specific wavelengths of red light on the body to promote reproductive health. To add to the possibilities for fertility improvement with red light therapy, the studies are showing positive outcomes for women of advanced maternal age.Â
One of the best ways to rejuvenate and heal after birth is to take advantage of acupuncture for postpartum care. Acupuncture is a safe, natural and holistic approach to healing that has been used for centuries to treat all stages of family health, including pregnancy, birth prep and postpartum care.Â
Wow, where do I start! Dresden is a multifaceted, compassionate and knowledgeable healer and I am so grateful for how she has contributed to my health! I work as a nurse in a hospital where it is important for my immunity, energy and stress levels to stay balanced, especially during a pandemic. I had a virtual herbal consultation with Dresden and her recommendations and herbal blends have kept me healthy, energized and vital as I work multiple 12 hours shifts per week. I highly recommend all hospitals workers to schedule a virtual consultation with her. She even dropped the herbs off on my doorstep. I have also received acupuncture, gua sha facial treatments and received a Nine Star Ki reading from Dresden. All were wonderful, relaxing and deeply healing. Dresden is a gift to Santa Barbara and the healing community.

I highly recommend working with Dresden. She is personable, intuitive and knowledgable as a healer. She has a solid understanding of acupuncture, herbal medicine and Chinese medicine philosophy for the holistic body. I enjoyed our consultation because she looked at how everything within my body is connected and not separate and that helped me a lot.

I can't recommend Dresden Holden Acupuncture enough! During a trip to CA that required a ton of driving, I felt horrible pain in my low back (left over from an old injury) and shoulders. After my acupuncture session, not only was my pain gone, but the anxiety that had accompanied me on my trip was eased. Dresden recommended some great stretches and tips that helped keep me pain-free and a chinese herbal formula for my anxiety and sleep issues. Her warm presence and on-point intuition is reason enough to seek her out! I will definitely be back if I find myself in Santa Barbara again... thank you for saving my trip, Dresden!
