The Balance is a monthly series of patient success stories at Olo Acupuncture. In this post, we talk with Deganit Nuur, a patient since 2013 and Licensed Acupuncturist, Tracey Byer, MSOM, L.Ac., about Deganit’s experience with skin rejuvenation. Having suffered from acne and related scarring for her adult life and beyond, Deganit’s skin now looks younger and less scarred thanks to Tracey’s treatments and recommended lifestyle changes.
D: I've had acne for the past 25 years and consequently lots of acne scarring. As a licensed acupuncturist, I’m well-versed in the health and balance aspects of holistic healing, and my goal with coming to Olo Acupuncture was to address my skin and aging issues, as well as digestive upsets and stress management.
D: Sessions with Tracey Byer and implementing her lifestyle modifications and using her magical potions and serums have been remarkable.
T: We changed her diet, which included a cleanse (hormone reset diet). We also discovered sugar and coffee were big triggers for digestion and breakouts. This discovery made big shifts in Deganit’s bloating and distention, dark circles and acne breakouts. We also changed her skincare regimen, from the many over-the-counter and prescription products to a simple, clean, all natural and effective routine I created to deliver results.
D: I was already referring everyone I knew (including my own acupuncture clients!) to her. But microneedling took it to a whole other level of care and excellence. I will say it's not exactly pleasant, but it seems to get easier each session. Plus, it's totally worth it as the discomfort is temporary, but the incredible results are long-lasting--better than Botox and better for you!
D:Following the first session, my skin was glowing and acne scars were dramatically reduced. I just completed my third session, and my dark circles have faded almost entirely, my laugh lines are gone and the hyperpigmented spot on my chin that I thought I'd have for life has even faded dramatically. I'm pleasantly surprised each time I look in the mirror. It's like Tracey reversed my aging by decades and as though I hadn't been collecting acne scars my whole life!
D:In addition to my skin and the problems I wanted to address initially, I’ve found the Olo treatments have provided relief from shoulder tension and improved my sleep, time management abilities, and energy levels.
T: Deganit is a really connected to her body and is able to give immediate feedback. She is also a compliant patient and followed home care recommendations to the letter. The feedback was constructive, and from it, I was able to make modifications to her treatment strategy and home care regimen as her pattern began to change.
D: Tracey is a powerful sorceress and expert in her craft. Being in her care is like being loved by an angel.
