At The Zen Point, we combine ancient wisdom with modern techniques, making us a go-to destination for microneedling treatment in Bethesda, MD. Led by our licensed acupuncturist Dana Scarton, we pride ourselves on delivering holistic, friendly, and medically-trained services. One of our specialties is motorized microneedling, a breakthrough treatment known for its efficacy in addressing a variety of cosmetic concerns.
This innovative procedure can help diminish acne scars, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin. Moreover, it's an excellent choice for evening out pigmentation and balancing skin tone. Experience the transformative power of microneedling under Dana's expert guidance, and discover a radiant, revitalized complexion that reflects your inner vitality.
Microneedling works by leveraging the body's innate healing capabilities. This technique involves the use of a specialized device equipped with multiple tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-punctures prompt the skin to kick-start its natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins crucial for skin elasticity and firmness.
By accelerating skin cell turnover, microneedling effectively minimizes common skin imperfections, restoring a more youthful and vibrant appearance. With Dana's expert touch at The Zen Point in Bethesda, MD, you can trust the procedure to be precise, safe, and tailored to your unique skincare needs.
Book an appointment with Dana today and watch your skin transform from dull and uneven to clear and glowing! During your consultation, we’ll go over your concerns and answer any questions you may have about microneedling treatment, as well as provide guidance on how best to care for your skin following the treatment. We look forward to helping you discover a beautiful complexion that radiates the joy of health and well-being.

Microneedling involves the use of a single-use needle cartridge attached to a motorized device. The cartridge contains numerous tiny needles that penetrate the skin due to a motorized action produced by the device as the practitioner stamps the skin surface. The treatment intentionally causes a mild micro injury to the skin, which in turn, promotes a "healing reaction" that triggers the formation of new collagen. It is a treatment suitable for all skin types. The Zen Point uses the award-winning Procell Device for this treatment. This tool is used with a stamping action that creates clean channels that promote fast healing.
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Acne scars
Slight sagging
Pigmentation issues such as age spots
Uneven skin tone
This depends on the individual, their age, their diet and healthcare regimen and their skin condition. In general, you may begin to notice improvements after two to four treatments. Most people undergo four to six consecutive treatments spaced four to six weeks apart before they achieve their best results and can then return periodically for maintenance. Some conditions, such as acne, age spots, and hyperpigmentation can require as many as 10-12 consecutive monthly treatments.

At The Zen Point, we treat you holistically. That means that we talk about your skincare needs in terms of whole-body health. We discuss whether you get enough sleep, eat well, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol use -- all of which can improve the health and look of your skin. Likewise, we coach you on how to develop a healthy home skincare routine as well as urge you to pursue your dreams and purpose -- because we believe the way you feel on the inside translates to the outside. We pamper you in our Deluxe Microneedling Treatment with soothing facial washes, calming serum applications, and gentle facial Gua Sha (which feels like a massage of your face!). Before and after the motorized microneedling portion of your treatment, we relax your body and channel the smooth flow of qi by applying tuning fork vibrations to points on your arms and legs. It's all about the ahhhh!
Many! Besides the face, neck, and décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, hands, and sagging skin above the knees have been treated with microneedling. Back acne, too. At this point, The Zen Point is providing only face, neck, and upper chest treatments.
The procedure can be slightly stimulating, especially on facial regions where the skin is not thick or when the device is directly over bone, such as on the forehead. For this reason, lighter pressure is used on such regions and needles or press tacks are used on the limbs to balance energy. A CBD serum is applied to the face 15 minutes prior to treatment to dull sensations. Most people find the treatments are comfortable after this application.
No. Most people return to work the next day! We do ask that you avoid sun, exercise, sweating, harsh cleansers and makeup for 12 to 24 hours following treatment.
Yes. Here are some of the conditions that warrant avoiding or delaying treatment:
Undergoing radiation treatment
Having an active skin or autoimmune condition that affects the skin
Active, inflammatory acne or herpes labialis (cold sores)
Predisposition to keloids
Uncontrolled diabetes or immunosuppression
Use of Acutane within the past year.
Use of Botox or other fillers/injectables within the past two months
Smoking or having a poor history of wound healing
Patients on blood thinners such as Coumadin or Plavix
Pregnancy
Active sunburn
Having undergone a recent facial surgery or dermatological procedure
Hemophilia

At this time, The Zen Point is not offering traditional facial rejuvenation where numerous thin acupuncture needles are manually inserted on the face. Instead, we are providing facial cupping or Gua Sha in a relaxing and balancing treatment that can be scheduled between microneedling sessions. Cupping or Gua Sha helps to improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and soften wrinkles so you'll leave your session with a healthy glow! Needles will be used on the limbs to help ground your energy during this lovey treatment.
