How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling creates a controlled injury by puncturing the skin at a specific depth using a premium top of the line medical device.  Each puncture triggers your natural healing process to fill the  punctured micro-wounds by producing elastin and new collagen in  the papillary dermis. Additionally, new capillaries are formed, improving blood supply. In the Microneedling process, your skin’s  top layer is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin  intact. Your acupuncturist will adjust the needle’s penetration  depth for each condition being treated and to target specific spots  on your body. As new collagen and elastin are produced, visible  results include: improved skin tone, skin texture, and firmness,  while also reducing pore size, stretch marks, and scars.

The AcuMicro medical grade microneedling pen, which was designed for safe & effective microneedling treatments. It features an adjustable needle depth of 0.25mm to 2.5mm with adjustable speeds ranging from  3,000-10,000 rpm. 

Combining Microneedling with Other Beauty  Procedures Microneedling may be used to hydrate and heal skin in combination with Hyaluronic Acid and other beauty serums. Each puncture from the pen creates micro-channels in your skin that  allow topical serums to be deeply absorbed for more effective results. Studies show this procedure can increase your skin’s  ability to absorb product nutrients by up to 3,000 %.

Are there guaranteed results?

Please be advised that this treatment is  not a surgical procedure and cannot be compared to a surgical facelift. Maui’s Best Massage + Spa cannot provide guarantees as to the success or results of treatments.
