Result Driven Micro-Needling + Micro-Channeling
What Is Microneedling?
Simply put, Microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. The premise is simple – create a small wound and the skin will respond with collagen production 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, wrinkles, skin tone, and hair loss. This treatment can be done every 2-6 weeks, depending on your goals.
What Is Microchanneling?
Microchanneling, aka “Nano-Needling” uses the same oscillating motion as the microneedling device. However, instead of needles, the cartridge encompasses 81 silicone tips. These microscopic hair-like cones separate the cells within the epidermis to allow active products to be pushed into the skin. Microchanneling only affects the epidermis, treating within the upper .15 mm of the skin. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an immediate glow with no downtime. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin.
Do I Need Microneedling Or Microchanneling?
Microneedling and Microchanneling have their place in skin rejuvenation for almost every client and they treat many of the same skin conditions. Either modality will have a positive effect in reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin tone and texture, shrinking pore size, reducing pigmentation, or helping to clear acne and acne scars.
When it comes to deeper acne scars and wrinkles, hair regrowth, stretch marks, and hypo-pigmentation the deeper micro- injuries associated with microneedling would be the best choice. Both procedures can be used together to advance the results for many skin conditions.

“Dr. Constance is so helpful and wonderful at what she does. After my first session of acupuncture, I felt better than I ever have. I would prefer this over massage or any other treatment. I have way more clarity and focus than ever before. I’ve already made my next 6 appointments! In the end it's cheaper than a massage and helps with the longevity of feeling better vs a quick fix..”
