Why try microneedling in Camas?
Deep Absorption
At Artizen Acupuncture Ashley applies serum directly before your microneedling treatment, your skin absorbs the serum deep into the epidermis. This allows the serum to work quickly and the results are outstanding. She treats with the microneedling pen at 0.5 -1.0mm depth, which is less damaging to the skin while still very effective for boosting collagen production, reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, and scarring.
Anti-Aging Effects

FAQ
Does microneedling hurt?
We use a 5% lidocaine cream at the beginning of the treatment to reduce any discomfort. The session is 60 minutes long, but the actual time needling is only 10-15 minutes. The treatment is followed by LED light therapy to help calm the inflammation and speed up the healing process.
How many treatment sessions do I need?
It takes 2-3 weeks to fully heal and see results from a single session. Maximum results are shown when patients do between 4-6 monthly treatments. Results are shown to last between 3-5 years in research, without maintenance.
