Microneedling (aka collagen-induction therapy) is a nonsurgical treatment that uses very fine short needles to penetrate your skin’s surface to improve its appearance and encourage rejuvenation.  The needles are on a head, which we attach to the tip of a CIT pen – when the device is turned on, we run this over your skin with serum, and it oscillates at a depth we choose (different depths are consider medical, which licensed acupuncturists can perform in WA state).  This treatment creates “micro traumas” in the skin, which triggers the skin’s repair response to start producing collagen, elastin and new skin cells.  Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, this can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of scars and wrinkles.
