Microneedling in itself is a cosmetic procedure, also known as collagen induction therapy. This minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment uses very fine Microneedles to penetrate the skin at controlled depths. These micro punctures stimulate the skin’s natural repair process to produce collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. This stimulation reduces fine lines and wrinkles and gives your skin a firm and youthful appearance. Microneedling also boosts the absorption capacity of your skin giving you glowing skin.
Many skin conditions can be treated with Microneedling, which are not limited to your face:
Facial rejuvenation- Plumped and youthful skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens sagging skin giving a firmer appearance
- Reverses sun damage and dark spots
- Reduces acne scarring
- Smooths, tones skin, and improves skin texture
- Reduces pore size
- Create glowing and radiant skin at any age
- Anywhere on your body from C-section scars to tummy tuck scars
- Anywhere on your body
- For the treatment of alopecia, thinning hair, or post COVID hair growth
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Treating sunspots and tightening skin
Yes, a week before your session:
- Avoid retinoids for at least a week before your treatment
- Avoid taking any NSAIDS or blood thinning supplements
Then, the day of your session:
- Do not apply any makeup, sunscreen, or lotions to the area being treated
- Wash the area the morning of your session
Microneedling, similar to acupuncture, is cumulative. Each treatment will build on the previous treatment. A series of microneedling treatments varies for each person from 4-8 sessions. Four sessions are typical for preventative treatments. While 6-8 treatments are common to address fine lines, sun spots, hair growth, or scar treatments. In some cases nanoneedling is also used in between the monthly microneedling sessions to enhance the treatments
Your treatment will start with full body acupuncture to calm your nervous system and support overall well-being. Not quite ready for acupuncture no problem! We can always start with ear seeds and acupressure. You will be laying on a gem stoned filled infrared mat to help start melting away your stress.
The microneedling portion of the treatment takes between 20-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. Microneedling is done in combination with hyaluronic acid to help maximize the treatment. After the microneedling portion of the treatment is completed a custom blend of serums will be applied to the treated area followed by apple stem cells. Once the microneedling session is completed, serum absorption rate increases by 3,000%. Finally a cooling face mask is applied to the skin in combination with light rejuvenation therapy. During this time you will be able to relax and melt into the table while the acupuncture treatment plays its role.

Not quite ready for Microneedling? Looking for a treatment to enhance your Microneedling treatment plan? If you have a fear of needles or are not ready to try Microneedling this is a great alternative.
Nano-needling is similar to Microneedling, but only penetrates the epidermis, the first layer of skin. Uses the same mechanism as Microneedling, but stimulates the skin superficially without needles. This is a less invasive treatment that also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
Nano-needling can be used on its own as a preventative treatment, in-between the monthly Microneedling sessions, or after the conclusion of Microneedling treatment plans. As a stand alone treatment, nano-needling, can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and sagging skin.
