How Does it Work?
Microneedling works by making extremely small but very effective pathways into the dermis (the layer of the skin that contains the most collagen and elastin) to infuse the dermis with hyaluronic acid, plant stem cells and herbal serums. With the use of microneedling, the absorption of these nutrients is increased several thousand-fold compared to applying them onto the surface of the skin, and goes directly into the dermis where they are most needed. The result is much healthier, plumper, toned and smooth skin.
Glowing Skin, Naturally!
With a plethora of invasive anti-aging techniques available, people are seeking holistic approaches.
Microneedling is mostly used to improve overall skin tone and to fill in lines and wrinkles, and because microneedling can penetrate into the dermis (or deeper if needed) it can also help reduce scars, ages spots and other discolorations (including uneven skin tone). Microneedling is a sterile procedure and it does not create bleeding or peeling unlike many other types of facial treatments. It also works by infusing the dermis with important nutrients that plump and tone and balance, rather than by removing the top layers of the epidermis like a chemical peel. Microneedling legally can only be performed by an MD, registered nurse or licensed acupuncturist.
Is Microneedling for Me?
Microneedling may not be a good fit for everyone.
Microneedling is not for:
Local infections (such as warts)
Keloid growths and scars (can stimulate more growth)
Moderate to severe skin diseases on the face (eczema and psoriasis)
Patients on chemo/radiation therapy
Pregnancy (no known risks but it is recommended to wait until after you give birth)

Microneedling 101
What is a Session Like?
What is a microneedling session like?
Each session starts with Red Light Therapy (which is known to increase collagen-elastin production and strengthen the immune system). During this time you will also receive gentle acupuncture - some cosmetic acupuncture points to address specific areas of the face - and the rest on the arms and legs to balance the body and create peace and relaxation using the traditional Chinese meridian system. Then we will do the microneedling portion of the treatment which lasts about 15 minutes. We'll always do a thorough check-in before your treatments so I know about your specific needs and what your goals are for the treatment. We use a house-made cooling Also face mask to reduce redness and sting, and follow up with the application of custom-made herbal stem cell serum.
Does it hurt?
A bit! Microneedling does include a little bit of discomfort for most people but it is short-lived and on a scale of 1-10 my clients have told me that the most uncomfortable moments are a 2 or a 3. I have never had a patient decide not to continue with microneedling or not want to receive further treatments due to pain or discomfort, and the needles used are very fine and small. A few areas of the face tend to be more tender for most people (like the forehead) and we are only working on these areas about 30 seconds to one minute per treatment.
How quickly does it work and How long do results last?
Patients often see results within a few days of their first treatment, but for very noticeable results we recommend at least 3 sessions spaced out a month apart. Over time the results are cumulative. Those wanting to do an acupuncture "facelift" usually do 1 microneedling session per month, and one cosmetic acupuncture per month, for 6 months.
Because microneedling works by plumping, toning and nourishing the dermis, the results last until they naturally "age away" - in other words, the results last for typically 3-5 years, and are recognized to last longer than injectable treatments.

Meet your acupuncturist! Shahida Spann-Ryan LAc fell in love with holistic medicine because of her struggle as a teenager with severe cystic acne. Because Western medicine and medications didn’t work, she embarked on a journey at age of 15 yrs old, studying herbs, massage, nutrition and eventually getting her Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in CA. Suffice to say, she is PASSIONATE about healthy skincare! Microneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture are some of her favorite things to treat, along with hormone balancing, fertility, and pain conditions.
