Our Cosmetic Treatments
Microneedling in San Diego
At Silver Sage Acupuncture, we offer microneedling treatments to naturally stimulate collagen and restore a smooth, radiant complexion. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this gentle, minimally invasive procedure helps reduce fine lines, scars, and uneven skin tone while improving texture and firmness.
How It Works
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin using fine, sterile needles. This activates your body’s healing response, promoting new collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin. We pair each treatment with LED light therapy and a soothing infusion of bioactive peptides and plant stem cells for enhanced rejuvenation.

What to Expect
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort, followed by LED light therapy and microneedling. Treatments take about 30 minutes, with mild redness afterward that fades within a day or two. Most patients notice an immediate glow and visible improvement within a few weeks.
Why Choose an Acupuncturist for Microneedling
Each session at Silver Sage includes an acupuncture treatment to enhance circulation, balance Qi, and promote whole-body rejuvenation creating results that go deeper than skin level.
LED Light Therapy
​
LED light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses gentle wavelengths of light to support the body’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. This non-invasive treatment helps improve a wide range of concerns—from acne and signs of aging to muscle soreness, hair thinning, and stubborn fat. By delivering targeted light energy to the skin and underlying tissues, LED therapy stimulates cellular activity, encouraging repair and renewal from within.
Red light therapy and other forms of phototherapy have been extensively researched, with thousands of published clinical studies demonstrating their effectiveness. Today, LED therapy is trusted by dermatologists, cosmetic practitioners, and pain management specialists around the world as a safe, evidence-based approach to improving skin health and overall well-being.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural, holistic approach to facial rejuvenation that improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity from within. During treatment, fine, hair-thin needles are gently placed on the face and body to increase circulation, stimulate collagen production, and release tension in the facial muscles. Many patients notice an immediate softening and lifting effect as the muscles relax and blood flow improves. Needles are typically retained for about 20 to 30 minutes while you rest. Cosmetic acupuncture can be added to any regular acupuncture treatment for enhanced results, supporting inner balance and outward radiance in the same session.
Hydrojelly® Masks
Hydrojelly® Masks by Esthemax are a soothing and nutrient-rich addition to any facial or acupuncture treatment. These professional-grade, algae-based masks deeply hydrate the skin while calming inflammation and replenishing vital minerals and antioxidants. Once applied, the mask creates a soft, cooling layer that locks in moisture and enhances the absorption of active ingredients. After removal, the skin feels refreshed, smooth, and radiant with a healthy, luminous glow.
