Microneedling

Facial Rejuvenation – A Modern Approach to an Ancient Practice

Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a holistic, minimally invasive procedure that uses a handheld device with 12 tiny needles to create microscopic channels into the skin. This activates the body’s natural healing processes, producing more collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin tone and texture. It can also reduce acne scars, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

Nanoneedling takes it a step further by using 81 microscopic hair-like cones that manipulate the cells in the epidermal layer of the skin. These silicone tips allow customized serums and nutrients to be infused into the skin, providing deep hydration and nourishment. Both treatments are safe and effective with minimal downtime and can be tailored to your specific skincare needs.

Treat wrinkles, age spots, crows feet, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, discoloration, and dark circles around eyes.

Stem Cell Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

After microscopic channels are created at a precise depth into superficial layers of the skin, customized serums are applied. All serums use a base of Uttwiller Spätlauber stem cells and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA can hold up to 1000x its weight in water to moisturize, while stem cells stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Additional serums can be applied for dark circles and bags under the eyes, as well as age spots and other pigment issues.

Every treatment will include stem cells derived from the famous Uttwiler Spätlauber apple trees of Switzerland. They help stimulate the proliferation of human stem cells by an astounding 80%.

Hyaluronic Acid is a substance found naturally in our skin that holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump. The molecule holds a thousand times its weight in water which retains moisture in our skin as well as prevents the moisture from evaporating into the air. When the skin isn’t busy fighting for hydration, increased skin cell production can take place, producing smoother, plumper skin cells. Hyaluronic acid is generally suitable for all skin types , including those who have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts. Because Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, sensitivities and reactions are uncommon. HA is the foundation of every serum used here at Sound Therapeutic Acupuncture.

This collagen is extracted from Shiitake mushrooms and combined with hyaluronic acid.

  • Promotes firming of the skin.
  • Boosts the synthesis of collagen
  • Prevents the degradation of matrix proteins, collagen and elastin.
  • Acts as an anti-oxidant.
  • Improves the structure, organization, and quality of collagen, all of which are associated with a firmer, smoother complexion.

Extracted from the mushroom Poria and combined with hyaluronic acid.

  • Elastin is a multi-purposed active component that builds skin thickness, microcirculation, and radiance, while lessening the appearance of wrinkles characteristic of aging.
  • It is best for menopause or mature skin.
  • Poria is a celebrated as an antioxidant and purifying and softening agent. The part used in this extract is the sclerocia (mycelium), which is rich in triterpenes and polysacchrides (pachyman).

This extract is isolated from a naturally occurring marine microorganism isolated in Playa Paraiso, Spain.

  • Helps clear bilirubin and fluid buildup around the eyes. Gets Rid Of Eyebags, Dark Circles & Puffiness.
  • Eye puffiness appears due to liquid retention as a consequence of higher permeability of blood vessels, which when added to bilirubin accumulation (from hemoglobin breakdown) induces vascular pigmentation and therefore dark circles. In addition, the deterioration of skin support proteins, like collagen and elastin, contributes to an increased visibility of such signs, besides the development of wrinkles.
  • Decreases vascular permeability to ameliorate eyebags and dark circles
  • Enhances bilirubin degradation to reduce the vascular pigmentation that causes dark coloration under the eyes
  • Promotes the production of type I collagen and elastin by dermal fibroblasts
  • Diminishes glycation of collagen to maintain strength and elasticity of the dermis
  • In vivo, it improves the appearance of all signs of aging in the eye contour area including dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles

This formulated algae product is extracted from plankton on the coast of Spain.

  • Gets rid of age spots and melasma.
  • Acts on diverse stages of melanin deposition and production in the skin to improve luminosity and decrease visibility of hyperpigmented areas to balance out the skin tone.
  • Reduced melan-A protein levels by 40%, thus, interfering with development of melanosomes.
  • Diminishes the amount of human tyrosinase protein by up to 48.9%, and its activity by 24.3%. Tyrosinase is responsible for the first step in melanin production.
  • Decreases the amount of melanin pigment produced by melanocyte in culture by 61.3%
  • In acting on melanocytes, resulted in a 69% lower uptake of particles (phagocytosis)
  • Neutralizes hyperpigmentation, that which is related to age spots, in epidermis.

Microneedling benefits are notable after just 3 months of treatment, with best results seen after 6 months. Because we are creating controlled micro injuries to the skin, this treatment can only be administered monthly, while nanoneedling can happen weekly. After completing a 6 month treatment course, results can last 3 to 5 years. If you follow that up with 3 to 4 annual maintenance treatments, results last even longer.
