Microneedling
Servicing Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont and the Bay Area
Rejuvenate your skin naturally, holistically. As acupucturists, we are root cause focused. We incorporate body acupuncture and LED therapy for an individualized microneedling experience.
Revitalize Your Skin with Microneedling
Also know as Collagen Induction Therapy, Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. It stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and remodels the skin.
Through the creation of intentional microtraumas, the production of collagen and elastin are significantly enhanced. At the same time the absorption of products is increased up to 2000%. The overall effect is a more even skin tone that appears firm and glows. In addition to cosmetic treatment, microneedling is very effectove for hair loss, acne scars, and sun damage.
Why Choose an Acupuncturist for Microneedling?
Our holistic approach goes beyond the surface to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production without artificial or “overdone” results. By combining advanced microneedling with systemic body acupuncture and LED light therapy, we regulate internal inflammation and accelerate cellular repair. This unique combination ensures your skin heals faster and looks healthier from the inside out.
We exclusively finish your treatment with TOMA Skincare, a clean, bio-active line formulated by acupuncturists to calm post-treatment redness and deeply nourish the skin barrier. By treating the root causes of aging, breakouts, and sensitive skin rather than just masking symptoms, we deliver a premium, chemical-free rejuvenation experience right here in Oakland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling works best in 3-6+ treatments, spaced once per month, to allow for the building of collagen and elastin. We suggest to start with a base of 3 treatments, and for every decade over 30 years of age, add another.
Because we apply a highly effective, professional-grade topical numbing cream prior to the needling process, most patients experience very little discomfort. Many describe the sensation as a light, vibrating sandpaper scratch. The integrated body acupuncture further down-regulates your nervous system, allowing you to deeply relax during the session.
Licensed Acupuncturists graduate with over 2,000 to 3,000 hours of rigorous, clinical needling training, whereas many med spa technicians certify in just a single weekend course. Our extensive expertise ensures unparalleled needle precision, depth management, and safety. Furthermore, we address your skin holistically—combining facial rejuvenation with systemic body acupuncture to treat the root causes of inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and accelerated aging.
Our treatments are highly effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage while firming up skin laxity.
