What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production to reveal smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. This process can effectively reduce scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and restore a vibrant glow.
When microneedling is combined with acupuncture principles and practices, the benefits are amplified as these two treatments work together to enhance skin health, stimulate cellular regeneration, and promote holistic wellness.

How Microneedling works.
Each of the acupuncture points act as a gate—sending energetic information electromagnetically via the fascia deep into the body. Explore some of the ways acupuncture works below:
Stimulates Healing
These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased blood flow, inflammation, and the production of collagen and elastin.
Promotes Collagen and Elastin Production
Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. By stimulating their production, microneedling can help improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, and address other skin concerns like acne scars and uneven skin tone.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating new skin cell growth, microneedling helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Improves Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation
Microneedling breaks down scar tissue and encourages new, even-toned skin to form, helping to fade acne scars, sun spots, and other pigmentation issues.
Improves Hair loss and Thinning
Microneedling stimulates hair growth by boosting blood circulation, activating growth factors, increasing collagen production, reducing DHT, and enhancing absorption of topical treatments, promoting stronger, healthier, and thicker hair.

Microneedling Questions. Answered.
Where can microneedling be used?
The micro needling treatment can be used across all areas of the face including the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and under eye area.
What topical solutions are used?
To make the treatment as easy and stress free as possible, patient comfort and safety is vital. We may use prescription strength numbing cream LMX4 Lidocaine 4% Cream before the treatment to ensure maximum comfort for the client.
Can I go back to normal activity following treatment?
After treatment no make-up should be worn for the first 48 hours. For the first 14 days, you should avoid using any hair removal products, waxing, using sunbeds, swimming or self-tan products.
How long will my microneedling results last?
Micro needling produces results through the stimulation of growth factors and collagen, thereby promoting new skin cells to surface. As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. Your overall result will last longer when using an at home skin care regimen that includes a daily Retinoid product. New collagen and elastin formation in the skin are documented as visually and measurably improved as much as one year after just one treatment. However, a series of treatments is typically recommended for best results.
What will I look like after my microneedling treatment?
Micro needling is considered a no downtime treatment. Immediately after your treatment your skin will look slightly pink to moderately red. We will provide you with a post treatment instructions to ensure the optimal results and will greatly minimize these symptoms and enhance your overall results.
