A NON-INVASIVE APPROACH TO BEAUTY, FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Holistic Microneedling

Holistic Microneedling deeply enhances and highlights your natural glow and vitality. It’s a natural, non-invasive approach to skincare that addresses the superficial appearance of facial skin, while also working at a deeper health level.

BENEFITS OF HOLISTIC MICRONEEDLING

Holistic Microneedling promotes subtle, natural-looking changes to the skin over time. Benefits of holistic microneedling include:

  • Improved skin texture and elasticity

  • Diminished fine lines (crow’s feet)

  • Reduction of deeper wrinkles (forehead “elevens,” nasolabial folds, neck lines)

  • Reduction of scars (acne, post-surgical)

  • More even skin tone

  • More hydrated and dewier-looking skin

  • Increased product absorption (2000% increase)

  • Whole body wellness (all holistic microneedling treatments include a full-body acupuncture treatment)

WHAT IS HOLISTIC MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating your body's natural healing process and boosting production of collagen and elastin (the building blocks of youthful skin). It's a minimally invasive procedure with maximum results!

Microneedling's precursor in Chinese Medicine is plum blossom needling, a superficial acupuncture treatment used to improve skin conditions, as scar therapy, and for hair regrowth, among other applications. It's been around for thousands of years, and microneedling is the modern, high-tech equivalent that is both safe and effective. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

First, a numbing, anesthetic cream (optional, if you’re feeling extra spicy) is applied to your face and neck. While the numbing cream activates, super fine acupuncture needles are gently placed in specific areas of the body to support whole body health. You’ll rest for for approximately 25 minutes, then the numbing cream and acupuncture needles will be removed and the microneedling treatment begins. Microneedling is comfortable and fast, taking about 15 minutes to complete the face and neck.

WHAT’S THE “HOLISTIC” PART?

As a trained acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner, my approach to skincare is holistic - it addresses all aspects of you. From the physical to mental to spiritual.

Every Haven Acu Holistic Microneedling session includes a full body-balancing acupuncture treatment to address your underlying health (which contributes to skin health and appearance). I may also offer lifestyle or nutritional guidance or herbal medicine to help you get maximum results.

IS HOLISTIC MICRONEEDLING RIGHT FOR YOU?

This is for you if you are looking for a holistic, all-natural approach to well-aging and overall wellness.

Individuals who are not eligible for microneedling include pregnant women (although nanoneedling is an option, please inquire), those with hemophilia or contagious skin diseases, or those who have undergone other cosmetic procedures such as injections and surgical procedures in the past 2-4 weeks. If you have questions about any of these, I am more than happy to discuss these individually. 

ARE THERE ANY RISKS?

Microneedling is generally safe when performed by a trained professional, but there are some potential risks, including:

  • Redness and irritation - this is common immediately after treatment, but subsides quickly. In some cases, lasting 1-3 days.

  • Bleeding - minor pinpoint bleeding is normal, more excessive bleeding can occur if taking blood thinners.

To minimize risks, it’s important to have microneedling done by a licensed professional and follow proper aftercare, including sun protection and avoiding harsh skincare products.
