Welcome to our acupuncture clinic, where we blend ancient wisdom with modern innovations to offer the best in holistic health and beauty. We are excited to introduce microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, as part of our comprehensive wellness offerings. This minimally invasive procedure involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. Paired with acupuncture, Chinese herbal serums, apple stem cell serum, and red light therapy, microneedling not only enhances your skin’s appearance but also contributes to your overall health and well-being. In this blog, we'll explore the various benefits of microneedling and how these additional therapies can address different health concerns holistically.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with tiny, sterile needles. These needles create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface, triggering the body's wound-healing processes. As the skin repairs itself, it produces more collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining youthful and healthy skin.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to activate the body's natural ability to heal.
Acupuncture promotes natural healing, reduces pain, and improves physical and emotional well-being.
Benefits of Microneedling
1. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
One of the most celebrated benefits of micro-needling is its ability to reduce fine lines and
wrinkles. By boosting collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps to plump the skin, smoothing out lines and giving the face a more youthful appearance.
2. Improvement of Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling is effective in improving the overall texture and tone of the skin. It can reduce the appearance of rough patches, improve the smoothness of the skin, and enhance the skin's natural glow.
3. Scar Treatment
Microneedling is particularly beneficial for treating scars, including acne scars and surgical
scars. The controlled injuries caused by the needles break down old scar tissue and stimulate the production of new, healthy tissue. This can significantly reduce the visibility of scars over time.
4. Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
For those struggling with hyperpigmentation or melasma, microneedling can be a game-changer. The procedure helps to regulate melanocyte activity (cells that produce pigment), leading to a more even skin tone. It can also enhance the absorption of topical treatments, making them more effective.
5. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products
The microchannels created during microneedling allow for better penetration and absorption of topical skincare products. It increases absorption by 3000%!
This means that ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and peptides can penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
6. Reduction of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, which can occur due to rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or growth spurts, can also be treated with microneedling. By promoting collagen and elastin production, microneedling can help to fade the appearance of stretch marks, making them less noticeable.
7. Hair Growth Stimulation
Surprisingly, microneedling isn't just for the skin on your face. It's also used on the scalp to
stimulate hair growth. By increasing blood flow and triggering the production of growth factors, microneedling can help treat conditions like alopecia and promote thicker, healthier hair.

What to Expect During a Combined Session
A typical combined session begins with acupuncture to balance your body’s energy and prepare your system for healing. This is followed by microneedling, which focuses on your specific skin concerns. During and after microneedling, we apply our Chinese herbal serums and apple stem cell serum to maximize benefits. Finally, red light therapy is used to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and boost collagen production. The acupuncture needles remain in place while the microneedling is performed, providing a synergistic effect that enhances the benefits of all treatments.
