Through the magic of creating tiny pinpoint cuts on the skin, the body begins to recognize there is trauma and does what it does best; it begins to heal! The minimally invasive procedure of microneedling is just enough to activate a collagen and elastin-producing response without causing real trauma to your skin.

Studies show that collagen induction therapy reduces acne scars and helps with uneven skin tone.

As microneedling increases collagen and elastin production, fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin are improved. Microneedling, also called percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is performed using a handheld, drum- or pen-shaped device, electrically powered, with tiny needles that make precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” do not leave scars; they work by helping to stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally.

Check out these research articles, which show that microneedling is an excellent procedure to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve elasticity.

Unfortunately, life happens, and unwanted stretch marks and scars appear. Microneedling helps skin conditions such as acne scars and stretch marks providing skin rejuvenation. Microneedling is generally a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of acne scars. Microneedling may reduce wrinkles, diminish scarring and facial acne scars, and tighten or rejuvenate loose or aging skin. Microneedling procedures for stretch marks, atrophic acne scars, surgical scars, sagging skin, and other scars may require multiple microneedling sessions.

When it comes to microneedling, there has been a lot of promising research in treating acne scars and stretch marks!

Microneedling is a fantastic way to reduce the look of sun spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.

Hypopigmentation

Microneedling has been shown to suppress melanocyte growth (cells that create pigmentation) when there is a need to even out the skin’s tone.

Hyperpigmentation/ Sun Spots

Microneedling has also shown promising results in reducing melasma, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation.

Acne

Instead of going over breakouts with a microneedling pen, we go around them. Think of it as aerating the skin. This helps clear out buildup around the area and is complimented by our other therapies, including acupuncture, LED light therapy, and Chinese herbal serums.

Rosacea

There are different forms of rosacea. Depending on the type of rosacea one has will dictate the form of treatment. Acupuncture can be added to your treatment to help maximize effectiveness. You and your acupuncturist will discuss diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. What is happening on the inside often dictates what is showing on the outside.

As collagen production is increased through microneedling, pore size will naturally be reduced. While wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks can make people feel self-conscious about the uneven appearance of their skin texture, microneedling can help to improve the look and feel of their skin.
