Microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure trained practitioners utilize to encourage collagen production by taking advantage of the body's natural healing response.​

+ Acupuncture

Acupuncture is included in your Microneedling sessions. Our goal is to treat the underlying cause of aging by treating the root!

Don't just look your best,

How does it work?

The needles create tiny Micro-channels on the

surface of the skin (the epidermis). These microchannels stimulate a healing response in the skin, which increases collagen and elastin production.

​

Having more collagen and elastin causes the skin to become firmer, reduces scars, gradually, and smooths wrinkles over time.

Areas it can treat

Can be performed on face, neck, scalp, stomach, thighs, arms.

How often do I get Microneedling?

  • Appointments are one month apart.
