Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), has gained popularity as a skin-rejuvenating treatment thanks to its ability to reduce wrinkles and acne scars in addition to stimulating skin cell regeneration, reducing the appearance of stretch marks, and generally making your skin look younger and healthier. But what exactly is microneedling? What are the benefits? And most importantly, can it give you firmer, smoother, healthier skin? We answer all these questions and more below!
Microneedling is a highly effective skin care treatment, quickly becoming the go-to method for many people to regenerate and renew their complexion from aging and damage. This treatment goes deep into the skin’s surface to promote new cell growth and collagen production. It is used to get rid of scars, sun spots, wrinkles, and fine lines on your face as well as to brighten up dull looking skin. In addition to treating these concerns, microneedling also benefits people suffering from sun damage or acne scarring. The treatment can smooth over scars on your chest and body too.
Our integrated approach to health and healing means incorporating aspects of Psychology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Acupuncture, Nutrition Counseling, and Herbal Medicine into how we practice.
Each session lasts about 60 minutes including microneedling and light therapy. Since microneedling is minimally invasive, there is little downtime or recovery time needed afterward; however, we recommend not receiving more than one microneedling treatment per month to give your skin time to reveal the full effects of treatment.
For general skin support, a minimum of 3 sessions are recommended, for scarring, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles 4-6 sessions are recommended. At our center, we offer individual sessions or packages of 3, 5, and 12. Our practitioner can evaluate your skin concerns and recommend the ideal package for you.
People who are pregnant are not recommended to receive microneedling, also those on chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive medications should consult with their physical before receiving microneedling.
