Microneedling Facial Rejuvenation in Portland, OR
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, is a nonsurgical skin treatment. It uses tiny needles to gently stimulate the skin’s surface. As a result, it can help smooth lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone (including stubborn melasma), refine pores, tighten skin, and fade scars and stretch marks.
Depending on the area and your skin’s sensitivity, each session includes both micro- and nanoneedling.
What Is Nanoneedling?
Nanoneedling uses the same gentle oscillating motion. However, its cartridge has 81 tiny silicone tips instead of needles. These hair-like cones open space between cells in the outer skin layer, so serums can absorb more deeply. Nanoneedling only works on the epidermis, within the top 0.15 mm of skin.
Benefits include less pigmentation, faster cell turnover, and an immediate glow with no downtime. Because it is so gentle, you can have it weekly as an exfoliating treatment. It also works well on sensitive areas like the eyes, lips, and nose.
Benefits of Microneedling
Patients often report an immediate “glow” after treatment.
The treatment is also quick (about 15 minutes), comfortable, and cost-effective.
Microneedling offers both short- and long-term benefits. With a series of 4–6 treatments, results can be long-lasting.
We can also target specific problem areas, such as scars, dark undereye circles, crow’s feet, and neck or chest lines.
Recovery usually takes just a day, although it depends on how much treatment you receive.
Because microneedling uses no heat, it suits all skin tones. Unlike laser and light treatments, it doesn’t carry the same risk of pigment changes.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling creates thousands of microscopic punctures in the skin. These tiny injuries trigger a healing response. As a result, your skin releases growth factors that boost its own collagen, the protein fibers that keep skin smooth and supple.
It is also a fractional treatment, so it only affects a small fraction of the skin’s surface. That is why recovery time is short.
In addition, the tiny channels help topical products absorb better and work more effectively. Your treatment also includes Red Light Therapy, TCM serums, and a collagen mask. Meanwhile, you rest on an AcuMat Infrared Mat to help clear energetic blockages. Overall, the treatment is relaxing, and you’ll leave feeling lighter, with glowing skin.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Serums
First, our licensed practitioners choose the TCM serum that best suits your skin. Options include:
- AP Stem Cells (Ping Guo) – apple stem cells that encourage collagen rebuilding
- Collagen XG – a natural collagen and elastin builder
- Lumos Brighten – helps with melasma and also fades age spots
- Rejuve+ – removes heat, clears redness, and reduces swelling
- Senessence – helps cells regain their ability to grow and divide, so it’s best for mature or thin skin
- Occulus – helps clear bilirubin and fluid buildup around the eyes, so it reduces bags, dark circles, and puffiness
- Elastin FL – also a natural collagen and elastin builder, especially for acne-prone, oily, or thinning skin
Collagen Mask and AcuMat Infrared Mat
Next, a cool Korean collagen mask helps calm inflammation and seal in the serums.
Meanwhile, you rest on a heated AcuMat Infrared Mat filled with gemstones. Each gem aligns with one of the body’s seven chakras. For example, amethyst relates to the crown chakra, while sodalite relates to the third eye. Similarly, blue lace agate supports the throat chakra and verbal expression. Green aventurine, yellow aventurine, carnelian, and red jasper also align with the heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root chakras.
Red Light Therapy for Collagen Support
Red Light Therapy (LED) may support your skin’s natural collagen production, which makes it a natural partner for microneedling.
