Microneedling Therapy
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING? NANONEEDLING?
Microneedling Therapy also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), and Percutaneous (through the skin) Collagen Induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of the AcuMicro Needle Pen.
The AcuMicro Plus+ pen used at my office almost doubles the RPM of other microneedling pens, oscillating at 18,000 RPM. High RPMs allow for more effective treatments overall and for larger areas such as the scalp or body to be treated with ease. The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the bodies natural healing process to fill these micro wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. In addition, new capillaries are formed for improved blood supply.
With Microneedling, the top layer of the skin is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin intact. It does not “burn” your skin like peels or more invasive lasers. There are 12 small needles on each single-use sterile microneedling head. The needle penetration depth can be adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.50mm into the skin depending on the area of the body and the skin condition being treated. Using skin needling consistently will trigger the body's repair processes until the desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved.
Microneedling results in the production of new collagen and elastin, improvement in skin tone and texture, firmness as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Nanoneedling uses the same oscillating technology, but this method uses 81 smaller silicone tips. This technique is used for thinner, more fragile skin such as under the eyes.
Microneedling is used in combination with Hyaluronic Acid and other serums (see below) to hydrate and heal the skin.
The micro-channels created by the needles allow for deeper penetrations of topical serums for more effective results. This procedure can increase the skins ability to utilize the nutrients by up to 3,000%.

FAQ
Testimonial:
I was very impressed with Azita and the results of my facial rejuvenation. After my first session I found my skin was already transformed: it looked glowing and younger due to her extraordinary skill to invoke my own body’s inherent healing capacity to regenerate my skin.
The website, Moallef.com, is clear and highly informative about her cosmetic acupuncture facelift and micro-needling treatments and therefore one feels well prepared when walking in.
Azita has created Tara Sanctuary, a healing and sacred space in Topanga Canyon where she welcomes her patients with warmth which puts one immediately at ease.
She begins the session with a whole body acupuncture treatment while bathing the skin with infra red light. Then, she applies a high quality apple stem serum to the face, collagen and other serums which she customizes according to your skin’s need.
Once the microneedling session has started, Azita maintains clear communication throughout every step of the process: She begins by using the micro needle pen to penetrate gently. This allows one to acclimate and then sense how deep one’s microneedle pen can go while still being comfortable.
I really appreciate that there is no use of synthetic numbing creams and I felt completely at ease during the entire process through which she checked my level of pain.
After 6 weeks of receiving the first treatment, I noticed the sagging of my skin on my neck, chin and jowls has considerably diminished, as well as the fine lines around my eyes and deeper ones alongside each side of my mouth, forehead, frown lines, and the nasal labial groove. The texture of my skin has vastly improved and the pores have become more refined. My whole face looks lifted, open and more radiant after my 3rd session where I am now at and writing this review.
My experience with Botox and Juviderm were temporary and did not get me these lovely results while the toxic chemical injections also could have taxed my liver. I understand that Azita is working with the whole body, vitalizing the organs to produce greater health and this is why the results are so dramatic.
