Microneedling

I offer microneedling in San Diego with combination of modern collagen induction therapy with the holistic principles of Chinese medicine.

 

Each treatment includes acupuncture, Celluma red light therapy, and topical apple stem cells + Chinese herbal serums to naturally stimulate collagen, soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce acne scars, and support hair regrowth for men and women.

 

Unlike traditional med-spa microneedling, my method addresses both the surface of the skin and the root causes of visible aging, circulation, inflammation, tension, stress, and internal imbalances.

For those who want exceptional care, impeccable cleanliness, and natural results that age gracefully, my microneedling treatments deliver unmatched rejuvenation.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses extremely fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. It is also known as collagen induction therapy. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural repair response, leading to:

 

  • Increased collagen and elastin production

  • Smoother, firmer skin

  • Improved texture and tone

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Softening of acne scars

  • Smaller pores and healthier glow

​

Because microneedling works with your body’s own regenerative abilities, it is a natural and minimally invasive treatment and requires minimal downtime.

A Holistic Approach: Why My Microneedling Is Different

Most microneedling treatments only address the surface of the skin.
Mine go far deeper, literally and energetically.

​

1. Acupuncture Integration

With your microneedling session, I use acupuncture body points to:

  • Improve circulation

  • Reduce inflammation 

  • Activate your body’s healing response

  • Balance Qi and blood, the foundation of healthy skin in Chinese medicine

​

This creates a primed environment so microneedling results are enhanced, longer-lasting, and more balanced.

​

2. Red Light Therapy with Celluma

Celluma is clinically proven to:

  • Stimulate collagen

  • Speed wound repair

  • Reduce redness and irritation

  • Improve hair growth on the scalp

  • Support clearer, healthier skin

​

Using Celluma immediately after microneedling amplifies your results while ensuring a calm, comfortable recovery.

​

3. Luxury Topical Serums (high-quality professional serums that you take home for your after care)

For the face:

  • Apple stem cells for regenerative support

  • Chinese herbal formulations to nourish, cool, and rejuvenate the skin

  • Epicutis skincare line​

​

These ingredients penetrate deeply through the micro-channels created during treatment, enhancing collagen production and accelerating visible improvements.

For the hair:

  • Topical hair serum

  • Internal herbal formula

Who Is Microneedling For?

Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Naturally stimulate collagen and restore firmness 

​

Acne Scars & Texture Irregularities: Improve tone, smoothness, and overall clarity.

​

Hair Loss for Men & Women: Microneedling of the scalp combined with acupuncture and red light therapy encourages stronger, healthier hair growth.

​

Dullness, Sun Damage, and Uneven Skin Tone: Restore brightness and vitality through enhanced circulation and rejuvenation.

​

Patients Who Want Natural, Holistic Rejuvenation: Especially those who prefer long-term results, not quick fixes that may weaken the skin over time.

Microneedling vs. Cosmetic Acupuncture: Understanding the Difference

Both microneedling and cosmetic acupuncture improve the skin, but they do so in different and complementary ways.

 

Microneedling: Surface Level Rejuvenation

Microneedling works primarily on the epidermis and dermis (top layer of your skin), improving:

 

  • Texture

  • Fine lines

  • Acne scars

  • Pigmentation

  • Overall firmness

 

It is excellent for structural skin changes and collagen induction. However, microneedling does not address muscle tension, facial posture, fascia, or internal imbalances that often contribute to visible aging.

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture: Holistic, Deeper-Level Rejuvenation

 

Cosmetic acupuncture treats:

• Muscles

Releases facial tension, softens expression lines, lifts sagging areas.

• Fascia

Improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, and structural integrity.

• Meridians & Qi Flow

Balances internal systems linked to skin health such as digestion, hormones, and stress.

• Emotional Patterns

Stress lines, worry lines, jaw tension, and puffiness often reflect internal states. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, leading to more relaxed facial expressions and slower visible aging.

 

Why Many Patients Choose a Combined Approach

​

Microneedling gives powerful textural and structural improvements.
Cosmetic acupuncture provides muscular, fascia, energetic, and systemic benefits.

Together, they create a root-and-branch transformation, treating both what you see on the surface (branch) and what causes it underneath (root).
