Treatments

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is very safe when performed by a licensed acupuncturist. Needles are filiform needles that are very fine and usually painless upon insertion into acupuncture points. Generally patients will report heaviness, warmth, cold, or electric sensations at acupuncture points 

Micro Needling

The MicroNeedling treatment allows for controlled induction of growth factor serums, or hyaluronic acid, into the skin's self-repair process by creating micro injuries in the skin. These injuries stimulate new collagen production, while not posing the risk of permanent scaring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. The skin needling treatments are performed in a safe and precise manner with a sterile needle head and are usually completed in 30-60 minutes.
Possible side effects: 

Skin will be pink or red and may feel warm, like mild sunburn, tight and itchy, which usually subside in 12 to 24 hrs.
Minor flaking or dryness of the skin, with scab formation in rare cases.
Crusting, discomfort, bruising and swelling may occur.
Pinpoint bleeding.
It is possible to have a cold sore flare if you have a history of outbreaks.
Freckles may lighten temporarily or permanently disappear in treated areas.

Infection is rare but if you see any signs of tender redness or puss notify our office

immediately.

Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) rarely occurs and usually resolves itself after a month.
Permanent scarring (less than 1%) is extremely rare.

Nano Needling

 

These microscopic hair-like cones separate the cells within the epidermis to allow active products to be pushed into the skin. Nano-Needling only affects the epidermis, treating within the upper .15 mm of the skin. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an

immediate glow with no downtime. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin. Allows up to 97% product absorption. 

 

If you are concerned about fine lines & wrinkles, swelling, or sagging skin, then nano-needling is for you. If your skin care concerns include deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks or deep acne scars, than micro-needling would be the treatment for that.
