Why We Prefer Microneedling at The Ferguson Clinic

At The Ferguson Clinic, we provide cutting-edge skincare treatments to help clients achieve radiant, youthful-looking skin. Although facial acupuncture has gained popularity for its holistic benefits, we exclusively offer microneedling because it delivers consistent, targeted results for various skin concerns, including fine lines, scars, and age spots. Here’s an overview of how these treatments differ and why we believe microneedling is the right choice for our patients.

Key Differences Between Microneedling and Facial Acupuncture

1. Treatment Method and Focus:
   • Facial Acupuncture: This ancient Chinese technique uses ultra-fine needles inserted into specific facial and body points, aiming to improve overall circulation and stimulate collagen production. Facial acupuncture targets not only the skin but also internal body imbalances that can manifest in skin appearance.
   • Microneedling: This modern treatment utilizes a professional device to create micro-injuries in the skin, encouraging the body’s healing response to produce collagen and elastin. Microneedling directly addresses the skin’s surface to treat concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven tone.
2. Results and Time Commitment:
   • Facial Acupuncture: Often requires multiple sessions each week over several weeks to see results. This treatment is a gradual process due to its holistic approach, with results generally appearing over several months and sessions.
   • Microneedling: Results can be visible after just one treatment, with optimal outcomes typically seen in 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This makes microneedling more convenient and accessible for patients looking for timely, noticeable improvements.
3. Recovery and Downtime:
   • Facial Acupuncture: Has minimal recovery, though slight bruising or redness may occasionally occur.
   • Microneedling: Patients may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn, which usually fades within 12–24 hours. We also provide a post-care kit to speed up recovery and enhance results.

Why We Only Offer Microneedling

While both treatments stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity, we choose microneedling at The Ferguson Clinic due to its predictable, focused results and accessibility. Microneedling excels in treating specific skin concerns like acne scars, fine lines, and age spots, providing patients with clearer, more youthful-looking skin after a streamlined series of treatments. Our advanced microneedling technology ensures precise, consistent application, making it a reliable choice for effective, rejuvenating skincare.
