Facial acupuncture, microneedling, and how can it help you with your youthful glow?

Most people have heard of the dermaroller which is the procedure that involves a device that has small needles to prick the skin for beauty purposes at home or in a medical clinic, but microneedling is a more efficient and safe procedure that a certified practitioner uses with the addition of lab certified serums to naturally generate new collagen growth and skin tissue for smoother and even skin tone. Microneedling is much more effective than at home rollers since the microneedling device is made for even distribution and absorption of the skincare product on the face and can be used on the scalp to stimulate hair growth for premature hair-loss.

Is there a difference between microdermabrasion and microneedling? 

Microneedling uses a specific device that utilizes and oscillates 12 medical grade stainless steel mini needles to create tiny channels on the surface of the skin to promote collagen and elastin production at a deeper skin level and increases the absorption of serums and ampoules to provide nourishment for the skin stem cells to produce newer and healthier skin.

Microneedling is considered a natural and safe alternative compared to many beauty procedures that usually involves toxic injections and harmful skin peelings which may or may not leave lasting harmful and irritable reactions with short lasting effects. This is procedure is great for people who are health conscious about avoiding toxic ingredients on their face and body, and prefers the natural route for youthful looking skin.

How does Microneedling work?

Microneedling is done by a certified practitioner that uses a device that utilizes and oscillates 12 tiny needles around the affected area at 200, 000 micro-holes per second to increase product absorption by 3,000 percent. The microneedling procedure can treat deeper conditions such as melasma, age spots and scars, and can be adjusted for more sensitive skin types for  superficial skin issues.

Microneedling creates micro channels in the skin to stimulate natural skin response to repair the damage by producing collagen and elastin for smoother and tighter skin. Holistic topicals are used during the treatment to further nourish the skin and provide the nutrition for newer and healthier skin production. Our providers only uses AcuMicro’s lab grade certified products to promote facial stem cell rejuvenation by over 80 percent and AcuMicro’s microneedling device which is a premium class 2 medical device with disposable needle tips that will be disposed in the biohazard waste after each treatment.

What to expect after microneedling?

Microneedling is mainly done on the face for wrinkles, acne scars and large pores and can be used for other parts of the body to reduce the visibility of scars. Microneedling is minimally invasive and considered safe for most healthy people and should be used with caution for people on certain acne medications or for women who are pregnant. You may or may not experience some redness or irritation after treatment for no more than a few days and should be using sunblock daily to achieve the desired effects of microneedling. As with most beauty procedures, you may need at least four procedures or more for the best results since this procedure involves the natural exfoliation of the skin to reveal the newer and healthier skin underneath. You will also be given small after care kits to bring home after each treatment to maximize your microneedling treatments.
