Microneedling

Now Offering the Microessence 3-in-1 Microneedling Treatment at Our Chicago Acupuncture Clinic

At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness Chicago, we’re always evolving our treatments to bring you the best in natural, non-invasive skincare. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Microessence Pen 2.0, a cutting-edge microneedling device that takes facial rejuvenation to the next level. This powerful 3-in-1 treatment combines collagen induction therapy, LED light therapy, and microcurrent stimulation—all in one session—for visibly smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create microchannels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin—the key building blocks of youthful skin.

As the skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even-toned. It’s a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and enlarged pores, without the downtime associated with more aggressive treatments.

Unlike traditional microneedling tools, Microessence delivers a truly comprehensive rejuvenation experience by combining three powerful technologies:

1. Collagen Induction Therapy
   Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall tone.
2. LED Light Therapy
   Incorporates therapeutic wavelengths of red and blue LED light to reduce inflammation, target acne-causing bacteria, and accelerate skin healing.
3. Microcurrent Technology
   Gently tones facial muscles and enhances circulation for a lifting and sculpting effect that leaves your skin looking instantly revitalized.

This all-in-one treatment is comfortable, efficient, and designed to maximize results with minimal downtime. Most clients experience a healthy glow immediately after treatment, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

Microneedling is safe for most skin types and is ideal for those looking to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Minimize acne scars and hyperpigmentation
• Tighten and lift sagging skin
• Achieve a healthy, youthful glow

We recommend a series of treatments for optimal results, along with proper aftercare and nourishing skincare to support the healing process. We offer this safe, natural, and effective microneedling therapy at an affordable cost.

* Microneedling may not be appropriate for everyone. Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided if you have an active skin infection, open wounds, active acne or significant skin irritation in the treatment area, certain skin conditions, a history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring, or if you are taking certain medications that affect healing or bleeding. We’ll review any relevant health concerns with you before treatment to make sure microneedling is appropriate for your skin.
