Sorta — but here’s the twist: our version is married with ancient Chinese medicine vibes and your body’s natural healing mojo. That means we pair precision dermal stimulation with calming touches and holistic support (hello acupuncture body care + soothing topicals). You leave feeling like you’ve done something seriously good for yourself.

Microneedling is considered a cosmetic and wellness treatment, so it is not covered by insurance. All sessions are self-pay.

The upside? You’re investing in a ritual that supports long-term skin health, glow, and self-care — no referrals or approvals required.

Not really 😊
We use a high-quality numbing cream before your treatment to keep sensations minimal and comfortable. Most clients describe the feeling as light pressure or a gentle vibration rather than pain.

You may notice a bit of warmth or sensitivity in certain areas, but overall the experience is very manageable — and many people are surprised by how easy it feels.

Bottom line: effective, not intense.

Prep is easy — we like to keep things low-stress and skin-friendly. A few days before your appointment, avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and active treatments that could irritate the skin. Come in with clean skin (no makeup if possible), stay hydrated, and try to avoid excessive sun exposure.

If you’re unsure about any products or medications, don’t worry — we’ll walk you through everything during your consultation so your skin feels supported and ready to glow.

Expect a natural rosy glow, maybe a little warmth — kind of like you just got really good sun kisses. Most people go about their day the next day with zero drama.

For the first 24–48 hours, keep things simple and soothing. You may experience mild redness or warmth (totally normal), so we recommend gentle cleansing, lots of hydration, and sticking to the calming products we suggest.

Skip makeup, heavy workouts, saunas, exfoliants, and active skincare until your skin has fully settled. Sun protection is a must — your future glow depends on it. We’ll send you home with personalized aftercare guidance so you feel confident caring for your skin as it heals.

Think: soft, calm, nourished skin energy — not “do the most.”

Think:
✨smoother texture
✨ plumper, dewier skin
✨ softer fine lines
✨ more even tone
✨ tighter-looking glow

All without the overdone or “too pulled” look. Many people notice a difference right away — usually as a softer, fresher version of you.

Results are cumulative, like most beauty rituals. One session feels great — but for lasting glow, a series spaced a 4-6 weeks apart is ideal. We’ll build the plan that feels good for your skin and lifestyle.

If you love a plan (and glowing skin), our Ritual Beauty Package includes 4 microneedling sessions designed to gently build results over time. Think consistency, intention, and a glow that keeps getting better.

Results build over time and tend to last a few years, especially after completing a series. Because microneedling supports your skin’s natural collagen production, the benefits don’t disappear overnight — they fade gradually as part of the normal aging process.

After completing a series of treatments, many clients choose occasional maintenance sessions to keep their glow going.

Yes! Many clients choose to pair microneedling with facial rejuvenation to enhance collagen production, refine texture, and brighten skin tone. Facial acupuncture supports circulation, muscle tone, and nervous system balance, while microneedling amplifies superficial skin repair and product absorption — creating beautifully complementary results.
