Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, was invented in China thousands of years ago when women in the Emperor’s court used rolling needle devices to rejuvenate their skin. Some people think this is the origin of acupuncture! Today we have electric needle pens which are even more effective. Microneedling can legally be performed only by MD’s, Nurse Practitioners and Licensed Acupuncturists in the state of Maryland.
Each microneedling treatment includes–at no extra charge–a Celluma LED light therapy session. We also strongly recommend that the client buy an AnteAge Stem Cell Aftercare Kit at the time of service. This combination of microneedling, the most effective stem cell product on the market, and LED light therapy makes our microneedling service light years ahead of our competition. Treatments are performed once a month to give the skin time to respond to the treatment–even a month later your skin is still producing new collagenand elastin according to studies.
Research shows 3-6 microneedling sessions one month apart produces optimal results and the effects last 1-3 years. Many patients choose to schedule maintenance sessions twice a year, after the initial course of treatment. Microneedling creates minor tears and stimulates the skin to repair itself. It increases protein, collagen, and elastic production and causes the body to produce “youthening” substances. It also creates channels to the dermis, so that our AnteAge Stem Cells can do their magic.
Microneedling isn’t for everyone–certain health/skin conditions are contraindicated. Results are dependent on your nutritional status–you cannot build collagen without the right nutrition. We recommend everyone start with a Skincare/Nutritional Consulation so we can get you on the right supplement program and skincare regimen for several weeks prior to microneedling.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have received any medical aesthetics procedures such as Botox, injections and facial fillers, Jenveau, lip injections etc…. please book your facial experience 4 weeks after. Massage manipulations have the potential to metabolize your injectables and move them to different locations. Please discontinue Retin-A/Retinols or acne medications with Salicylics, Glycolics and lactic acid, chemical peels and allow 1 week before booking your holistic experience, for your skin to heal. You must wait six months after discontinuing Accutane before receiving microneedling.
