What is Microneedling?​​

Microneedling is like giving your skin a gentle wake-up call. But what exactly is it? Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries might sound scary, but they’re actually incredibly beneficial. They stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, triggering the production of collagen and elastin – two proteins that are essential for maintaining firm, youthful, and radiant skin.

 

As these tiny needles penetrate the skin, they create channels that allow topical treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness. This dual action – stimulating collagen and enhancing product absorption – makes microneedling a powerful tool for treating a variety of skin concerns. From fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture, microneedling offers a comprehensive solution for achieving smoother, firmer, and more glowing skin.

 

Now, enter the Dermapen 4 – the superhero of microneedling devices. This state-of-the-art tool takes microneedling to the next level. Known for its precision and safety, the Dermapen 4 offers enhanced results with minimal discomfort and downtime. Its adjustable needle depth and speed makes it suitable for various skin concerns. With its advanced technology, Dermapen 4 ensures that your treatment is not only effective but also super comfortable.

 

 

Why Our Holistic Microneedling is Your Skin’s New Best Friend

 

Here at The Holistic Refinery, we’re all about taking things to the next level. Our Holistic Microneedling treatment brought to you by our Registered Acupuncturist Kaitlyn, isn’t just about the skin – it’s about you as a whole.  This treatment combines the power of microneedling with the ancient wisdom of acupuncture to offer you a truly unique experience. Here’s why you’ll love it:

 

1.  Whole-Body Approach: Kaitlyn kicks things off with a thorough acupuncture treatment which involves identifying and treating specific body acupuncture points that are linked to your skin’s health and overall well-being. By addressing these acupuncture points, we aim to improve circulation, reduce stress and inflammation, and balance your body's energy, all of which contribute to healthier skin.

​

2.  Tailored Just for You: After your acupuncture session, we move on to the microneedling. During this phase, Kaitlyn applies an individualized serum designed to meet your skin’s unique needs. This serum helps the Dermapen 4 glide smoothly across your skin and delivers targeted ingredients deep into the skin for optimal results. Whether you're looking for anti-aging, acne treatment, or brightening, we've got the perfect serum to make your skin glow!

 

3.  Comprehensive Care: Post-needling, we pamper you with a luxurious hyaluronic mask, soothing Celluma LED light therapy to accelerate collagen/elastin building as well as healing the skin to reduce the downtime, and finish off with a rich vitamin moisturizer and sunscreen. Your skin will feel loved and protected.

 

4.  Comfort and Safety: With the Dermapen 4 we usually don’t need numbing cream, making your treatment more comfy. But don’t worry – if you need it, we’ve got it!
