   Before and After Microneedling

Cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling are natural, non-surgical treatments that work with your skin's own biology, not against it. Fine needles create controlled micro-trauma in the skin, triggering your body's own repair response — new collagen, new elastin, improved circulation, and a genuinely healthier complexion, not a frozen or filled one.

Every treatment is built on both classical Chinese medicine and current dermatological science. Your face is treated as part of a whole, interconnected system, not an isolated cosmetic project. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each facial zone reflects a corresponding internal organ system — meaning the same session that smooths your skin is also supporting the deeper imbalances that show up there first.

Each area of the face corresponds to a specific organ system in Chinese medicine — the under-eyes to the Kidneys, the cheeks to the Lungs and Stomach, the forehead to the Bladder and Liver.

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture uses fine needles placed at specific points on the face and body to stimulate blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and collagen production — while also addressing the root-cause imbalances that affect skin from the inside: stress, hormonal shifts, digestion, sleep.

This is not a surface-level treatment. It's whole-body medicine that happens to rejuvenate your face.

What it targets:

  • Fine lines and early signs of aging

  • Loss of facial tone and elasticity

  • Dullness and uneven texture

  • Overall vitality and radiance, not just isolated wrinkles

Facial Acupuncture and Botox: Better Together

Facial acupuncture works beautifully alongside Botox rather than in competition with it. Botox relaxes specific muscles to soften deep, movement-based lines, while facial acupuncture and microneedling improve overall skin quality, circulation, and tone. Many patients combine both — Botox for stubborn lines, acupuncture and microneedling for lasting skin health and a natural glow. If you do both, we space sessions two to four weeks apart so each treatment does its job without interference.

Microneedling

Every microneedling session is a medical-grade, multi-layered treatment — not a single step. Using a professional-grade device that penetrates deeper than consumer tools, we combine:

  • Peptides to support collagen synthesis and skin repair

  • Apple Stem Cells (Ping Guo) to support cellular renewal and a more youthful, even complexion

  • Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration and plumper, more resilient skin

  • Medical-Grade Red Light Therapy, included in every session, to further stimulate collagen production and calm inflammation post-treatment

This layered approach means each session does far more than needling alone — it's a complete protocol designed around what your skin actually needs.

What it targets:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Uneven skin tone and texture

  • Enlarged pores

  • Acne scarring

  • Overall skin firmness and glow

  • ​Thinning hair and early-stage hair loss

FAQ 

How is this different from Botox?
Botox stops muscle movement to soften specific lines. Facial acupuncture and microneedling instead rebuild the skin's own collagen and elastin, improving quality and texture from within. The two approaches pair well together for the most complete results.

Will I see results after one session?
You may notice some initial glow and tightness right away, but the most meaningful results build over a series of treatments as your body's collagen production increases.

Is there downtime?
Very little. Most sessions leave mild redness for a few hours, and you can return to normal activities the same day.

How many sessions will I need?
Optimal, lasting results typically require 4 to 8 sessions, followed by maintenance visits every 6 to 12 months.

Can I combine microneedling and facial acupuncture?
Yes. These treatments are often alternated within a single plan, tailored to your specific skin goals.

Does microneedling really help with hair loss?
Yes — clinical research shows microneedling stimulates blood flow and growth factors at the scalp, with the strongest evidence for pattern hair loss, especially when combined with topical treatments.
