Microneedling in Portland: A Chinese Medicine Approach

Microneedling is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that activates your skin’s own repair and regeneration. Using a medical grade and FDA device called the AcuLift Pen, with ultra-fine, sterile needles, Microneedling creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin. These tiny punctures activate your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm, and glowing.

Over time, Microneedling can help improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and uneven texture

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Large pores

• Thinning hair and sparse eyebrows

Microneedling meets Chinese Medicine

At Wolf Acupuncture and Potential’s Wellness Center in Portland, OR Microneedling is more than a skin treatment, it’s a holistic experience. By integrating the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, each session is designed to harmonize your internal balance while enhancing your natural beauty. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the face reflects the health of your whole body. During a session, we may include body Acupuncture points to promote circulation, calm the nervous system, and regulate hormones all of which influence the skin’s glow and vitality.

A Natural Alternative to Botox and Fillers

Unlike injectables or harsh laser treatments, microneedling encourages your skin to rejuvenate naturally. The process improves tone and texture while allowing nutrient-rich serums to absorb deeply for lasting results. Your collagen production continues for weeks, giving you a radiant, healthy glow. There is no downtime, no chemicals, and no masking of your face’s expression.

What to Expect

Each treatment lasts about 60 minutes or more depending on add-on treatments. Afterward, your skin may feel warm and appear slightly pink, similar to a light sunburn for 12-24 hours. Most clients notice an immediate glow and smoother texture within a few days.

For optimal results, a series of 3-6 sessions annually (spaced out at least a month apart) is recommended, followed by seasonal maintenance. I love to intersperse facial cupping and gua sha in between treatments for added benefits!
