Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that is shown to improve the look and texture of skin, fine lines and wrinkles, promote hair growth, reduce scarring and reduce pore size.  Microneedling creates thousands of tiny traumas in the top layer of your skin activating the natural repair process and encouraging collagen and elastin to to heal the skin.  These tiny trenches also draw product deep into the skin allowing your products to penetrate deeply and become more effective.  You will see a glow to your skin after about 24 hours.  It takes about 2 weeks to achieve maximum benefit as your skin heals.  

Microneedling can be done every 4-6 weeks.  Maximum results after 4-6 treatments.  Microneedling benefits can last up to 5 years without maintenance.  

Step one: preparation

Please come with your face clean and make up free.  If you are wearing makeup, we will ask you to wash your face before we begin.  Your microneedling session will start with the application of numbing cream to your face.  While the cream takes effect,  we will do a detailed intake about your goals and together we will come up with a  treatment plan which will include a customized serum to be used during your session.  You will then wash the numbing cream off of your face, have pictures taken so we can evaluate your progress, and then get comfortable on the massage table. 

Step two: the treatment

We use a specially designed premium class 2 medical device that oscillates at 18,000 RMP, penetrating the skin layer up to 2.5 mm.  This professional pen can only be used by qualified medical practitioners including acupuncturists, nurses, MDs and dentists.  Your treatment is generally painless, however, you may feel slight discomfort as the pen glides over tender parts of your face such as your lips and forehead.  If it is ever too uncomfortable, let us know and we can adjust the depth of the microneedles.
We use a special formulation of Hyaluronic Acid, combined with apple stem cells, vegan collagen and lab extracted Chinese herbal medicinals designed for your specific concerns during your treatment. 

Step 3: aftercare

After your treatment, a red LED facial light set above your face to stimulate collagen production.  While under the red light therapy,  you will receive a body acupuncture or Reiki session for about 30 minutes.  to help you relax and get the Qi in your face is flowing.  As you leave you will be given a dropper bottle with your serum, as well as a spray bottle with floral water designed to cool and heal your skin.  Use only these products on your skin for the fist 24 hours (no lotion, makeup, sunscreen, or oils).  It is important to stay out of the sun for 12 hours after this procedure.  Additionally, do not use any retinol products for a minimum of 48 hours, preferably avoiding for one whole week.  Your skin may be red for 8-24 hours, similar to a mild sun burn.  You are encouraged to use your personalized serum and spray frequently throughout the first 24 hours post-treatment, as your cells are most receptive to nourishment during this time.

Facial acupuncture

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture can help your skin generate new collagen, balance hormones, fight inflammation, help with acne, reduce color imperfections and stimulate the firming of facial muscles. As we age, our habitual expressions can wear into our face creating creases and wrinkles. This non surgical procedure will encourage your face to let go of the past so you can focus on your future.

step one: preparation

Your facial rejuvenation session will start with a detailed intake about your goals and together we will come up with a plan unique to you.  You will then wash your face, have pictures taken so we can evaluate your progress, and lay down on the table. 

step two: the treatment

Your treatment will begin with some arnica gel on your face to reduce the small chance of bruising.  Melissa will then do a body acupuncture treatment to help move the Qi in your face.  After this, she will begin to insert needles into your face.  These will be strategically placed to stimulate your facial muscles.
After the needles are in place, Melissa will put the Red Light Therapy mask over you and let you rest for about 30 minutes.

step three: Aftercare

After your appointment, you are good to go back to your regular life, there is no down time.
