At Garden Path Acupuncture, we believe true beauty is more than skin deep—it’s a reflection of inner balance and vitality. That’s why we’re excited to offer microneedling, a time-tested technique that aligns perfectly with East Asian Medicine (EAM) principles. While modern dermatology focuses on collagen induction, EAM sees microneedling as a way to harmonize the body’s internal energy, or Qi, to promote radiant skin. As the Neijing Suwen states, “Now, as far as the heart is concerned, it is that of the five depots which concentrates the essence. The eyes are its orifice. Effulgence and complexion show its splendor.” This ancient wisdom reminds us that a glowing complexion is a direct reflection of our internal health, particularly the harmony of the Heart and Blood.
Microneedling works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response to improve texture, elasticity, and tone. In EAM, the skin is governed by the Lung and nourished by the Blood. By using precise, minimally invasive needling techniques, acupuncturists not only boost collagen production but also invigorate Qi and Blood flow to the face, reducing stagnation that can lead to dullness, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. This holistic perspective sets acupuncturists apart—we don’t just treat the skin, we treat the person, ensuring that your complexion reflects your inner health.
Beyond aesthetics, microneedling can help reduce acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation while improving the skin’s ability to absorb nourishing serums. But when performed by an acupuncturist trained in EAM, the benefits go even deeper. We incorporate facial acupuncture points that support organ function, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellness, making microneedling a true beauty-from-within treatment.
Experience the power of microneedling through the lens of East Asian Medicine and discover how harmonizing your inner vitality can transform your skin. Book your appointment today at Garden Path Acupuncture and let your radiance shine from the inside out!
