✨ Before & After ✨

One of my favorite benefits of microneedling is how it evens out my skin tone. Just look at these pics! My rosacea, which usually shows up on my nose, chin, and cheeks, is already noticeably calmer. It hasn’t even been enough time to stimulate collagen production (that happens after 30 days and really shines after 6–10 sessions), but the redness has improved, and my skin looks smoother and more even.

Another bonus? Microneedling gives a deep exfoliation, leaving my skin feeling fresh and looking radiant. In the after pic, I’ve got my usual night balm on, so the hydrated glow is just part of my regular routine—full transparency!

If you’ve been curious about microneedling, I can’t recommend it enough. 💕

Microneedling: What to Expect During Healing

A lot of patients ask, “How will I look after microneedling?” Here’s a breakdown of my own experience:

➡️ Before: My natural complexion has a rosy tone.
➡️ Immediately after: My skin is spicy red and feels super itchy and feels like I have a bad sunburn.
➡️ 30 minutes later: The redness is already significantly reduced, and the itching has almost disappeared.
➡️ 1 hour later: The redness is about 75% better, and there’s a mild sunburn feeling.
➡️ Next day: Slight redness remains and even worsens a little overnight, with mild itchiness, but no burning.

Pro tip: Avoid scheduling microneedling right before a big event. Healing times vary, so it’s best to give yourself at least a week to recover. Trying your first session without an event coming up is ideal, as everyone’s skin reacts differently. Some patients barely stay red for 10 minutes, while my sensitive skin shows redness more easily.

This service includes a full acupuncture session to support your body’s healing process. If time allows, I also add nano-needling (a dream for under-eye and lip rejuvenation!). Microneedling is focused on the face and hairline, but you can also schedule it for hair loss needs exclusively.

Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona’s Coyote Medicine is a moving account of his journey from doctor to true healer. It’s about realizing the need to transform Western medicine, creating space for Native American shamanism and even acupuncture within modern healthcare. His story reveals the importance of honoring ancient wisdom alongside scientific advancements to achieve deep and lasting healing.

Many of my acupuncture patients would resonate with this book—it speaks to those who’ve tried everything Western medicine offers without results, only to find relief in ancient healing methods. It also reminds us that many humans crave a spiritual connection as part of their path to wellness.
