Holistic Microneedling
Natural Skin Rejuvenation Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine
At Ascending Dragon Acupuncture, Microneedling is more than a cosmetic treatment—it’s a holistic therapy designed to nourish your skin from the inside out. This gentle, minimally invasive treatment uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response and boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and brighter tone.
Unlike conventional approaches, our microneedling treatments are rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to support not only your skin’s appearance but your body’s internal balance. Each session includes a customized constitutional acupuncture treatment to address underlying imbalances — such as stress, poor digestion, or hormonal shifts — that may affect skin health.
We exclusively use TOMA Skin Therapy products, which meet strict EU clean beauty standards and are formulated with Chinese herbal ingredients to nourish, calm, and repair skin naturally, enhancing your glow. Treatments are further supported with LED light therapy, carefully selected to meet your skin’s unique needs and amplify your results — helping you heal from the inside out.
This natural, minimally invasive treatment is ideal for those seeking radiant, resilient skin without harsh chemicals or downtime. Each session is customized to your unique skin and health needs, helping you glow from the inside out.

Your First Visit
Based on your evaluation, Dr. Mary will create a customized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This plan may include acupuncture, herbal remedies, supplements, cupping, moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, Gua Sha, and personalized lifestyle recommendations — or a combination of therapies — to support the most effective and lasting results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment sessions are 90 minutes for initial visits and 60 minutes for follow-up treatments. Each therapy is delivered with attention, intention, and your comfort in mind. You may experience a sense of deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, or light pressure — all common signs that your body is responding.
As part of a holistic approach, multiple techniques may be combined in a single session to support your healing from every angle.
Safety and Comfort
Your well-being is our top priority. Dr. Manning uses only single-use, sterile needles and the highest standards of hygiene across all treatments. Whether you’re receiving bodywork, herbal guidance, or acupuncture, you can trust that every session is conducted in a calm, professional, and supportive environment designed to help you feel safe and cared for.
