Facial Rejuvenation vs Holistic Microneedling

Some of you have heard that at the beginning of the year, we added Holistic Microneedling to our Facial Rejuvenation Program at Alpenglow. I’ve received the same questions from a lot of you…

Which is better? Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture or Microneedling? 

And the answer is….it depends! And the answer often could be that both are best. 

Let’s get into the details to get some clarity.

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture and facial microneedling offer different approaches to improving skin appearance. Both treatments include full body acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling taking a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of the skin. We all know beauty and radiance are cultivated from within. 

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into specific points on the face to stimulate circulation, collagen production, and muscle tone, which can reduce wrinkles and promote a youthful glow.

Microneedling uses a device with tiny needles creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production (leading to smoother, firmer skin), and enhancing the absorption of skincare products. It can target specific concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores.

The benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture include its holistic approach, potential stress reduction, and overall well-being improvement. Meanwhile, microneedling may provide quicker results in terms of skin tightening and texture improvement, especially for fine lines, scars, and enlarged pores.

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling can complement each other when used together in a skincare regimen. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture can prepare the skin by improving its overall health and balance, while microneedling can provide more targeted and immediate results for specific skin concerns. The combination can lead to enhanced skin rejuvenation, improved texture, and a more youthful appearance.

We have created a Beauty Membership that includes both modalities. We also have the ability to create some custom packages.
