Microneedling

Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation in Towson, Maryland

Microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone and texture, dark spots, and sun damage. The controlled microchannels created during treatment stimulate the body's natural healing response and support the production of collagen and elastin. These microchannels can also improve the absorption of professional skincare products used during treatment. As collagen continues to develop and remodel in the weeks following treatment, improvements in the skin can continue to develop.

Jean Donati has received specialized training in microneedling and facial rejuvenation through courses taught by Michele Gellis, MAc, LAc, a nationally recognized educator in facial and cosmetic acupuncture. Jean is currently the only AcuLift™ MicroPen provider in Towson, Maryland, listed in the AcuLift provider directory. Each facial microneedling treatment also includes traditional body acupuncture to address conditions and underlying health patterns that may affect the face and skin.

Microneedling treatment for facial rejuvenation and collagen stimulation in Towson MD

Microneedling and nano-needling are separate treatments used for different purposes. Microneedling uses the AcuLift™ MicroPen with a sterile 16-pin cartridge to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body's natural repair response, stimulating fibroblast activity and supporting the production of collagen and elastin as the skin repairs itself. Nano-needling works more superficially to gently exfoliate and smooth the skin. Both treatments can also help professional skincare serums penetrate more effectively rather than simply remaining on the skin's surface.

Microneedling can be used to address fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead and “11” lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, dark spots, and sun damage. It can also be used on the scalp for certain types of hair thinning and hair loss, including male and female pattern hair loss, age-related thinning, and hair loss that may occur after illness, surgery, pregnancy, or COVID-19 infection.

Before Treatment: If desired, a topical anesthetic can be applied before treatment for additional comfort.

During Treatment: A physician-formulated, organic, vegan serum is selected based on your individual skin and treatment goals. The AcuLift™ MicroPen is then used to create controlled microchannels, stimulating your body's natural healing response and supporting fibroblast activity and the production of collagen and elastin.

Post Treatment: Your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and may feel slightly irritated, dry, or flaky. This generally settles within about a day. You will receive instructions and products for caring for your skin following treatment.

Results: Improvements develop gradually as collagen and elastin production continues following treatment. Microneedling is generally performed about once a month, with approximately 6–10 treatments recommended depending on your skin and goals. Some people notice changes after 2–3 treatments, while others may need more. Once desired results are achieved, treatments can be spaced farther apart for maintenance.

" I had microneedling done by Jean for old acne scars. Not only did the procedures minimize my scars, but I lost a few wrinkles and felt like my face looked younger. Jean has a very calming and relaxing way about her. She explained everything that she was doing. I always felt amazing after I left her office. I highly recommend Jean!!! " Chris T.
