Acu Micro/Nano Needling

Acu Microneedling

​

• Acu Microneedling is performed with a top-of-the-line premium class 2 medical device. 

​

• This device uses microscopic needles to carefully create microchannels in the skin, thereby allowing the skin’s own repair response to start producing collagen and elastin.  The result is tighter and smoother skin. Enjoy the resulting fullness and volume that is achieved without incisions or anesthesia.

​

Acu Nanoneedling

​

• This is also performed with a top-of-the-line premium class 2 medical device.

​

• The needles are thinner, and the depth is more superficial, targeting the upper layers of the epidermis. This treatment can increase the effectiveness of topical serums.

Common Questions

Is Acu Micro/Nano needling the same as a “Vampire Facelift” or “Vampire Facial”?
