Fine needles are placed in the face to increase circulation, stimulate collagen, and soften fine lines. Because the work is rooted in Traditional East Asian Medicine, the treatment also addresses the internal patterns that shape how your skin ages. Your session includes facial gua sha, cosmetic cupping, and medical grade Red Light Therapy.

Holistic microneedling is a skin renewal treatment that stimulates collagen and cellular repair while honoring the body's natural healing process. It improves texture, acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation without harsh chemicals or aggressive techniques.

As trained needle experts, we apply precision, intention, and supportive care to promote healing rather than forcing results.

Signature Microneedling is the full treatment: consultation, microneedling, and Red Light Therapy. Express Microneedling is the same core needling in a streamlined 30 minute session, designed for folks who want a more clinically focused treatment. Both use the same technique, the same numbing protocol, and the same clinical attention.

Your first appointment includes a complimentary consultation where we map your skin, review your health history, and I take time while microneedling to determine the appropriate treatment depth on the different areas of your face and neck. This is recorded and a customized protocol is placed on file which makes a shorter session safe and effective. Once it is on file, Express is available to you.

Yes, if six months have passed since your last microneedling appointment, or if you have had major surgery, started injectables, or made significant changes to your medications. Your skin changes. We want to meet it where it is.

The 3-session package is priced flat — $195 per session, no discount — built to hold your maintenance rhythm rather than to save you money. The 5-session package does include a discount, at $190 per session. Every session, at any package size, receives the same preparation, sanitation, and clinical attention.

Most clients benefit from a series of four treatments spaced several weeks apart, timed to your skin's 28 to 32 day regeneration cycle.

Yes. Holistic microneedling is designed to be supportive and customizable, making it suitable for sensitive skin when performed by experienced acupuncturists. Treatments are tailored to your skin's needs and capacity to heal.

There are a handful of situations where microneedling isn't the right call, and it's worth knowing them before you book.

Active infections or open skin. Cold sores, warts, a bacterial or fungal infection, any broken skin in the treatment area. Needling can move that around. We wait until it's healed.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Nanoneedling is a safe alternative during pregnancy. Microneedling isn't. This one is a full pause, and we'll pick it back up when you're ready.

Severe cystic acne, active inflammatory acne, or a rosacea flare. Needling through active inflammation can spread bacteria and make things worse. Mild rosacea is a conversation, not an automatic no.

A history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Your own or your family's. Microneedling works by creating a healing response, and if your skin scars unpredictably, that response is unpredictable too.

Blood-clotting disorders or blood thinners. Hemophilia, clotting dysfunction, warfarin, heparin, daily aspirin. Bruising and bleeding risk goes up.

Skin cancer, or any undiagnosed lesion in the treatment area. Anything suspicious gets looked at by a dermatologist first. Always.

We'll review everything at intake, even the things that feel small or unrelated. Some of these are a hard stop. Most are a conversation. And in a lot of cases, nanoneedling or cosmetic acupuncture will get you where you want to go.

Nanoneedling is a surface level alternative that supports brightness, texture, and glow with no downtime.

Yes, and they work well together.

Microneedling works at the surface. It's about texture, tone, scarring, collagen in the skin itself. Cosmetic acupuncture goes deeper, into the muscles and fascia that hold your face the way it holds. That's where facial balancing happens. Jaw tension releasing. A brow that sits a little differently.

Combined, you get both layers. Skin that looks renewed and a face that feels less held.

If this is something you're curious about, tell Eleanor at your consultation. She'll build the sequencing and spacing into your plan from the start, rather than trying to fit it in later.

These treatments are ideal for anyone seeking an alternative to injectables, looking for natural facial rejuvenation and brightness, or working toward improved skin health and vibrancy. They are especially suited for those who value holistic, wellness rooted approaches to beauty.
