Microneedling/ collagen induction therapy
Gentle, Effective, Skin Rejuvenation with the AcuLift™ MicroPen System
Microneedle treatment using the AcuLift™ MicroPen system promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin which are responsible for skin structure and elasticity. As we age, these fibers break down and can cause wrinkles.
The AcuLift™ MicroPen system is a medical grade device that utilizes extremely fine, sterile needles to penetrate the skin just enough to stimulate collagen and elastin production without permanent injury to the skin. It can improve skin texture and color reduce wrinkles, acne scars and dramatically enhance effectiveness of skincare products.
Before Treatment: If desired, topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to provide light numbing.
Gentle Treatment: Physician formulated organic, vegan serum with collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid will be applied to the skin. The AcuLift™ MicroPen is then used to create controlled micro channels, eliciting your body’s healing response. This will remodel and rejuvenate your skin to provide a younger, more firm and radiant appearance.
Post Treatment: Following treatment your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically disappears after 12-24 hrs. You will receive a patient aftercare kit to accelerate your recovery and results.
Results: Micro-needling is not intended to give the same results as chemical fillers and injections. The results from micro-needling appear more subtle and natural. Results are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3-6 monthly treatments. Results will continue to progress for several months after your last treatment. Results will last up to 5 years!
Treatment outcomes can be improved by bi-yearly maintenance visits. Please note that individual results may vary, there is no guarantee provided.

What Is Nanoneedling?
Both the Nanoneedling and microneedling treatments use a pen like device that oscillates a tip up and down to stimulate a skin reaction. They both induce cell turnover, serum infusion and provoke the healing process that results in skin transformation.
Nanoneedling on the other hand works a little different. The nano cartridge oscillates like a microneedle cartridge, except it has 81 silicone microscopic cones and doesn’t puncture the skin. The nano cartridge’s cones separate the cells within the epidermis encouraging active products into the skin. The nanoneedle can be used in the more sensitive eye area and the red area of lips to help significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles with each treatment.
Nanoneedling benefits include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an immediate glow with no downtime. Most people can have this treatment weekly to exfoliate the skin.
