Micro-needling
Renew with Micro-needling
Micro-needling is a painlessly powerful way to rejuvenate your skin!
The holistic, time-tested treatment of cosmetic acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Now with micro-needling, which uses a rotating pen of needles that skim the surface of the skin, you get the same holistic benefits of cosmetic acupuncture in a virtually painless treatment.
Key benefits of micro-needling include:
- Increased collagen and elastin, for younger-looking skin
- Increased serum absorption — up to 2000%
- Reduction in scarring, including acne scarring
- Feeling and looking as good on the outside as you do on the inside
- Greater confidence in how you look and feel

Microdermabrasion removes layers of the skin. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the top layer of the skin is the Wei Qi, which is the first layer for your protection from outside pathogens. TCM thinks of the outermost layer of the skin, the Wei Qi, as the guards to the fortress (your body), and you would not want to remove the guards from protecting the fortress.
Micro-needling creates tiny channels in the skin, which does not damage the Wei Qi, and allows holistic Chinese herbal formulas to easily be absorbed, and increases collagen and elastin production.
Nano-needling uses microscopic, hair-like cones that separate the cells within the epidermis to allow enhancement of product absorption. Nano-needling affects only the epidermis, treating within the upper .15 mm of the skin. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction,
increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation, and an immediate glow. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin. Nano-needling is good for those with aged skin, decreased circulation, and fine lines.
There are many knock-off tools that anyone can purchase. These tools can easily damage your skin and cause more harm than good. A licensed professional is professionally trained and has received credentials and certification to perform micro-needling under the direct supervision of a licensed professional with the credentials to train in micro-needling. A licensed professional assesses the health of a potential client before a procedure to ensure that the procedure will be safe and beneficial for the client. Not all people qualify for micro-needling, and a licensed professional will be able to address that, and may recommend nano-needling, if necessary.

Most people report that micro-needling feels like a fine-grained sandpaper over the skin, but not painful. For people who are very sensitive, we offer numbing cream prior to the treatment, but the majority of people do not require this.
After your first treatment you will notice a rosy, healthy glow to the skin, with decreased fine lines and wrinkles. Depending on the depth of wrinkles and scars, most people will experience a noticeable difference in just a few treatments.
On average, most people see their desired results in four months, and those results normally last one to four years. Some clients like to come in for a “tune-up” before that that one to four year mark. Each client is unique, so results do vary.
