At the Kaplan Center, microneedling services are done by Rebecca Berkson, L.Ac.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare treatment that smooths texture and reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles with minimal recovery time. This is achieved by using a gentle oscillating pen to create “micro-injuries” to the treated area which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Collagen and elastin production are increased and the results are that your skin looks firmer, fuller, and tighter. Microneedling exfoliates and erases hyperpigmentation for a radiant and glowing complexion and is safe for all skin tones.
Microneedling is best used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull and dry complexion
- Hyperpigmentation (melasma) & age spots
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Acne marks/scars
- Hair restoration
What to Expect from Your Microneedling Treatment
If desired, a topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to provide light numbing. Before the microneedling begins, Rebecca offers full-body acupuncture with each treatment to help you relax and address any underlying imbalances. A serum with hyaluronic acid, collagen, and Vitamin C is applied to the face. The Micropen is gently applied to target areas with appropriate depth and pressure. The treatment concludes with a mist containing aloe and arnica to soothe the skin.
At your first visit, three Kyma Skincare products are provided for aftercare to accelerate your recovery and results.
Post-treatment, you may experience mild sensitivity, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. On the day of treatment, please stay out of the sun, with no exercise, no makeup, and drink plenty of water. Don’t wash your face with soap on the day of treatment, only use warm water. The day after, you can return to your normal facial routine and be sure to use sunscreen to protect the skin. Enjoy visible results within 2 weeks and repeat treatment in 4 weeks*.
Following a recommended series of four sessions, you’ll notice a visible improvement in skin tone and texture—a lasting transformation towards more radiant and healthy skin.
*For optimal results, we recommend 4 treatments with 4-6 weeks between each treatment.
Is microneedling for everyone?
Microneedling is safe for most people, though it is not recommended for those with dermatological conditions on the face or treatment area, including active psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, acne, herpes, or keloid scars.
It is contraindicated during pregnancy, for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, or for anyone with wound healing issues. Talk to your medical provider about optimal timing after Botox, fillers, and other dermatological treatments.

Enhance Your Experience
Are you curious about enhancing your results? At the Kaplan Center, you can enhance your microneedling treatment by adding Exosomes or cosmetic acupuncture.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that promote cellular regeneration and rejuvenation with their diverse range of growth factors, cytokines, and signaling molecules. They penetrate deeply into the skin via the channels created by microneedling. This results in a more efficient delivery system, directly targeting the skin’s deeper layers where cellular renewal and repair processes occur.
Microneedling with exosomes has been shown to accelerate the healing time and rejuvenate and repair damaged tissue faster than just microneedling alone.
Join the many who have seen remarkable improvements in skin texture and radiance. Book your consultation today to see if microneedling with Exosomes is right for you.
Microneedling combined with Cosmetic Acupuncture
The unique benefits of cosmetic acupuncture make it an effective complement to your microneedling session. Cosmetic acupuncture focuses more on lifting, firming, and tightening skin, all while reducing inflammation, increasing collagen production, and promoting overall wellness by balancing the body’s energy flow (Qi). Acupuncture stimulates muscle function, and the face lifts itself via the acupuncture points, thus returning the face to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance. The best areas to treat are sagging neck, cheeks, or eyelids.
When combined with microneedling, it’s recommended to do a microneedling session once per month with weekly cosmetic acupuncture treatments in between. Refresher treatments once per month are also recommended.

Quick Q&A
How long do microneedling results last?
The effects of a course of microneedling can fade over several years depending on various factors including the individual’s skin type, the severity of skin conditions, and lifestyle.
What does a typical cosmetic acupuncture treatment look like?
During a typical cosmetic acupuncture treatment, the highest quality, pre-sterilized, disposable acupuncture needles are inserted gently around the face, neck, and scalp. These very thin needles are applied to specific facial points to stimulate the skin and underlying muscles of the face while also relaxing and balancing the entire body. The treatment finishes with a gentle cupping massage of the face designed to further enhance your treatment. Each treatment is one hour long and is part of a 12-treatment series (weekly). Your first session will last 1 1/2 hours and includes a consultation and balancing acupuncture treatment. Maintenance sessions are scheduled according to the individual’s needs after the initial series. You may see changes as soon as the first treatment is completed, but each succeeding treatment builds on the last. Click here to learn more about our Cosmetic Acupuncture services.
Can I book a new patient consultation independent of the first appointment?
Yes. An in-person consultation is required by all microneedling patients before their first treatment. It can be scheduled for immediately before your first treatment or on a different day prior to your treatment. The cost is $50.00 for a 30 minute consultation. (Note: Cosmetic acupuncture patient consultations cannot be separated from the initial appointment.)
