Your Guide to Micro Needling - Glow Naturally

You’ve probably heard of micro-needling—or maybe you know someone who’s had it and you’re curious why it’s become such a go-to treatment. Why is it so popular? The short answer: it helps your skin regenerate and rejuvenate naturally.

Many of us are looking for natural options to look and feel more refreshed without introducing neurotoxins, chemicals, or fillers. Micro-needling has become one of my favorite treatments for this, and I’ve seen firsthand how it can make skin look smoother, brighter, and more youthful.

We all want to feel beautiful. True beauty is more than how you appear to others—it’s about how you feel in your own body and skin. My intention with micro-needling is to help you feel comfortable and confident in your skin, allowing your inner vitality to shine. Because when you feel beautiful, there’s a glow, an energy—a je ne sais quoi—that radiates from within. Micro-needling can help enhance and bring out that natural radiance.

What is Micro Needling?

Micro-Needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a holistic treatment that supports healthy skin and reduces signs of aging naturally. It can be incorporated into your skincare routine once a month.

During a treatment, a micro-needling device creates microscopic channels in the skin. These channels activate the body’s natural healing response, stimulating cell regeneration and boosting the production of collagen and elastin. The skin is exfoliated and old skin cells are cleared away. New, healthy cells can regenerate, creating tighter, more radiant skin.

Unlike other cosmetic treatments, micro-needling does not involve injections, fillers, or chemicals. Instead, it taps into your body’s natural ability to repair, creating a smoother and brighter complexion.



What are some conditions that can benefit from Micro Needling?

  • fine lines and wrinkles

  • multiple lines around mouth

  • crows feet

  • forehead lines

  • bunny lines

  • eleven lines

  • acne scars and other scars

  • thinning hair (ie. thinning eyebrows)

  • stretch marks

  • large pores

  • hyperpigmentation

  • uneven skin tone and texture



What are some benefits typically experienced from Micro Needling?

  • Increased absorption of serums and skin care products

  • Increased collagen production

  • Increased elastin production

  • Little down time

  • Improved circulation

  • Reduced hyperpigmentation

  • More even skin tone and texture

  • Hair restoration (ie. eyebrows)

  • Smoother, tighter skin

  • Reduced lines and wrinkles


What can I expect after a Micro Needling treatment?

After a Micro Needling treatment, the skin may be red for 12-24 hours. You may also notice temporary itching, mild irritation, flaking, or a warm sensation—these are all normal parts of your skin’s natural healing response. Some people experience pinpoint bleeding or slight pigmentation changes, but serious side effects are very rare.

Most patients notice their skin feeling smoother and softer within a few days, with improvements continuing over the next one to two weeks. Because results build on each other, your skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance continue to improve with each treatment.



How to get the best results from your treatments?

Micro-needling is an investment in your skin’s long-term health. Here are some ways to enhance your results:

  • Protect your skin from the sun. UV rays break down collagen and accelerate aging. Limit direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen whenever you’re outdoors.

  • Keep your skin clean. Avoid foundation or heavy makeup for at least the first few days after treatment to support optimal healing.

  • Complement with other therapies. Adding Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture or Nano-Needling between Micro-Needling sessions can further enhance your results. These treatments work synergistically to refresh and revitalize the skin.




Who should avoid Micro Needling?

  • Pregnant

  • On blood thinners

  • Currently undergoing chemo or radiation

  • Severe skin conditions (psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, infection, warts, herpes outbreak)

  • Prone to keloid scarring

My first encounter with Acupuncture was as a teenager suffering from severe, chronic back pain. I was used to being active and involved in sports, and I was no longer able to participate due to my back pain. I went to many doctors and specialists, but couldn’t get any relief. As a last resort, my mom took me to see an acupuncturist.

It was the only thing that helped alleviate my pain! I finally had hope that I could be free of pain again. After a series of acupuncture treatments, I was able to go about my life with ease. I had such a transformative experience of healing–I could jog, do yoga, and swim again– pain free. This profound experience planted the seed that would lead me to studying Acupuncture and helping others through this medicine.

I decided to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, earning my Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, MAOM, from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2021. During this time, I spent over 800 hours in the clinic with patients. I am nationally board certified in Acupuncture and Herbology, a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, and a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in the state of Connecticut.

In 2022, I relocated from Oregon to Connecticut with my partner and dog to be closer to family. My practice is located in Avon, Connecticut. I am fluent in American Sign Language and, in my practice, I seek to provide an experience that is accessible and inclusive for all.
