Cosmetic Acupuncture & Microneedling

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture follows the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using the
meridians in the body that either end or begin in the face to stimulate and balance energy, while also treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.

Cosmetic acupuncture can be done at any age; starting in a person’s 20s or 30s it can be used a preventative measure, and in their 40s or later, it can be used therapeutically and correctively.

Cosmetic acupuncture works by piercing the skin with tiny needles, resulting in “positive” microtraumas that increase circulation to the face, and boost the production of collagen and elastin to tighten skin. Cosmetic acupuncture is the ultimate anti-aging treatment because it balances our internal systems while simultaneously boosting the health and appearance of the skin.

Cosmetic acupuncture is best used for 'lifting', 'firming' or 'tightening'. It can be used to lift the neck, cheeks & eyelids. It is great for overall tension in the face, helping to release forehead lines and furrows or for frown and marionette lines around the mouth.

*For results we suggest a series of 12 weekly treatments.

*See below for information on Celluma Light Therapy, which can easily be added to Cosmetic Acupuncture & Microneedling services or as a stand alone treatment. Cosmetic Acupuncture can also be done between Microneedling sessions.
Results will vary depending on individual goals, set up an appointment to discuss a treatment plan.

Microneedling (Face & Hair)

Microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. Professional Microneedling is done using a 'derma-pen" which creates small perforations (channels) in the skin.  When those channels are created, the skins own repair response is to start producing collagen and elastin in order to heal the injury that was just created. This process will facilitate making our skin tighter and smoother.

Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, this can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of acne, age spots, skin tone, scars and wrinkles.

*For results we suggest a series of 4 monthly treatments.
Microneedling treatment benefits are typically seen within days after treatment and can last from 3-5 years.

Microneedling for Hair Restoration
The use of needles to stimulate hair growth goes back a long way in TCM (Chinese Medicine). Historically, the use of a multi needle "plum blossom" head would be tapped onto the scalp, essentially offering a healing response similar to that of today's derma-pen will do.

Microneedling can assist in Hair Restoration by stimulating the hair follicles, promoting blood flow and producing a healing response on the scalp.

Typical treatments are bi-weekly, they are quick and can be used along with sprays, serums that assist in hair growth.

*For results, we suggest beginning with a series of bi-weekly treatments over the course of a few months.
Results will vary depending on individual goals, set up an appointment to discuss a treatment plan.

Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be temporary or permanent. It can be heredity, or the result of medical conditions, or hormonal changes. It is generally considered a normal part of aging and affects both men and women alike.

Celluma is the first red light therapy device to be FDA-cleared to treat three common concerns of the mature individual in a single LED light therapy device. Addressing hair regrowth, aging skin and general pain conditions, Celluma is versatile, convenient and easy-to-use in a clinical setting or at home. (*ask us about ordering your own home device). Celluma’s patented, shape-taking design permits customized placement over the head to effectively deliver light energy and promote hair regrowth.

LED red light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA for treatment of male and female pattern hair loss. It helps to proliferate hair follicle size and prevent catagen hair development (the end of the active growth of a hair).

The Norwood Hamilton Scale and Ludwig-Savin Scale are used to help determine if light therapy will work for an individual.Celluma is FDA-cleared to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and to promote hair growth in males who have Norwood-Hamilton classifications of IIa–V patterns of hair loss and to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig-Savin Scale I-1 to I-4, II-1, II-2 or frontal patterns of hair loss; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–IV.
