Microneedling demonstrates how Traditional Chinese Medicine blends with modern technology to stimulate collagen in targeted areas of the body. Similar to acupuncture, your body responds to micro-traumas created by our professional microneedling device by producing new collagen through natural healing.
Our licensed acupuncturists in Hunt Valley use professional-level microneedling technology that penetrates deeper than consumer devices. This approach delivers faster results and longer-lasting improvements. Each session also uses Chinese herbal formulas and hyaluronic acid, which reach deeper layers of skin for maximum effect. With this method, results can last three to five years before additional treatments are needed.
Microneedling in Maryland helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. Treatments improve scarring, even skin tone, minimize acne breakouts, and stimulate hair growth. Patients see benefits whether hair loss comes from natural balding or more acute causes.
Nano-needling offers a gentler alternative with shallower penetration. Practitioners recommend it more often for people with sensitive skin or active acne. This method also helps with skin concerns like under-eye bags and dark circles. Nano-needling for sensitive skin provides visible results while remaining safe for delicate areas.
How often do I need to come in for treatment?
That depends on what you are seeking treatment for. Microneedling for aging, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles can be done up to twice per month, with a total of six sessions recommended.
Microneedling for hair growth or scalp treatments is scheduled twice per month. Depending on the person, nano-needling may be added on off-weeks to support continued hair growth. We recommend six sessions in most cases.
Nano-needling can be done up to twice per week, especially for under-eye bags and dark circles, or in people with more sensitive skin.
How is this treatment different from less expensive DIY products I can get online?
Our microneedling services use professional-grade devices and are performed by licensed acupuncturists. These devices penetrate deeper than consumer tools, which gives faster, longer-lasting results than at-home alternatives.
I have had peels for scarring. Can I do microneedling to help with remaining acne scars?
Yes. Depending on your skin type, you may benefit from full microneedling. If your skin is sensitive, your specialist might recommend nano-needling instead for gentler treatment.
I am having Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. Can I have microneedling too, and will it speed up the results?
Yes! Combining Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and microneedling can help lift, firm, and tighten skin on your face, neck, and around your eyes. Together, they often strengthen the results of both therapies.
Is there a lot of downtime after treatment?
Many people experience mild redness for 8-12 hours after treatment. You can resume regular skin care, make-up, and light exercise 24 hours afterward.
Is there anyone who should not try micro or nano-needling?
Yes. People with a local infection, extreme keloid tendency, or those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation should avoid microneedling or nano-needling. However, nano-needling may still be safe for some patients on anticoagulants.
Is there anything I should do differently on the day of my appointment?
Do not wear makeup to your session or for the rest of the day. If you arrive with makeup, we offer makeup remover in the clinic so you can cleanse before treatment.
What is Red, Blue, and Yellow Wavelength Light Therapy and how does it enhance microneedling?
Red, blue, and yellow wavelength light therapy increases collagen production (up to 200%). We recommend combining it with microneedling to boost results, especially for hair regrowth.
During your appointment, after microneedling, we use our Professional Level 1226 LED device (over 30,000 lumens) in a 20-minute session. This treatment boosts skin firmness, stimulates collagen, reduces bacteria, and improves scalp microcirculation.
