Acu GLow & MiCro+NeEDLING

The number of treatments needed to see results varies based on specific skin care goals. Starting in our late 20’s and 30’s collagen production decreases 1% per year. By our 40’s, collage production is significantly diminished which results in sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

Most see benefits with 3 monthly treatments and depending on desired results and condition of the skin, more treatment may be needed.

Directly after microneedling you will notice your skin may feel taut and hot with some redness that last up to 2 days. After 3 days, skin may peel or flake as cellular turnover increases. Since congested pores have been opened, some breakouts may occur as your skin purges from the treatment. Within a week or two your skin will be smoother and glowing.

Results from Microneedling and the AcuGlow Facial can last several months, depending on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you maintain your skin post-treatment. Regular treatments can help maintain optimal results and improve the appearance of your skin over time.scription

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. However, your skin may appear slightly red or pink for 24–48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. During this time, you may feel tightness or dryness. It’s important to avoid washing your face for 24 hours, direct sun exposure, makeup for 48 hours, and products like retinol, vitamin C, or AHA for 3 days after the treatment.
