Microneedling & Acupuncture Facials

Skin renewal, the holistic way

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This prompts the body's natural repair response, encouraging new collagen and elastin. At The Qi Station, Trace-Ace pairs microneedling with an acupuncture treatment, so you're supported from the inside as well as the surface.

Who it's for

• Fine lines and loss of firmness
• Uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores
• Acne scarring and dullness
• Anyone looking for a natural, non-surgical option

Microneedling and acupuncture for scars

Trace-Ace also combines microneedling with acupuncture to support the healing and appearance of scars, including C-section scars after birth, surgical scars and acne scars. Microneedling encourages fresh collagen in the scar tissue, while acupuncture around the scar aims to improve circulation and ease the tightness, numbness or pulling that scars can leave behind.

Your scar needs to be fully healed before treatment. Trace-Ace will look at your scar and suggest a plan, and results build gradually over a series of sessions.

How microneedling works

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses very fine needles to create tiny, controlled channels in the skin. This prompts the skin's natural repair process, encouraging collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother and more even-looking skin over time.

Why pair it with acupuncture?

At The Qi Station, Trace-Ace combines microneedling with acupuncture, so you receive skin renewal on the surface along with whole-body balance underneath. Many people find the acupuncture makes the session deeply relaxing as well.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions are recommended?

Many people book a series spaced a few weeks apart for best results. Trace-Ace will recommend a plan based on your skin and goals.

Is there downtime?

Skin is often pink for a day or so, similar to mild sunburn. Avoid makeup, heavy exercise and direct sun for the first 24 hours.

Who shouldn't book?

If you're pregnant, have active acne, skin infections, or have had fillers or Botox in the last 3 months, please contact us first.

What is the difference between microneedling and facial acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture places fine needles at specific points on the face and body to support circulation and balance, without creating channels in the skin. Microneedling works across the skin's surface to stimulate collagen. Both are covered on our skin and facial rejuvenation page.

Can microneedling help with C-section scars?

Many people book microneedling with acupuncture to soften and improve the look and feel of a C-section scar. Your scar should be fully healed and you should have the go-ahead from your doctor or midwife before starting.
