NCCAOM-certified acupuncturist Patricia Nguyen, DACM, operates Skinovation Acupuncture & Microneedling in Point Loma from a Kenyon Street clinic where she has practiced since 2014. Cosmetic acupuncture sessions target facial rejuvenation through needle-stimulated collagen induction, a technique rooted in the same traditional Chinese medicine meridian system used at Point Loma Acupuncture for pain and internal-medicine cases. An Amherst College graduate in Asian Languages and Civilizations, Nguyen trained in Japanese-style needling under masters including Shoji Kobayashi and adopted Sa'am acupuncture's four-point combination protocols in 2022 for their clinical-effectiveness margin. Microneedling treatments address acne scarring, fine lines, and thinning-hair regrowth by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body's wound-healing cascade of collagen and elastin production. Follow-up sessions layer moxibustion, cupping, and infrared light therapy at no added cost, an integrative stacking method that parallels the multi-modality work at Healing Arts Studio. Full corrective programs sequence microneedling with cosmetic acupuncture across 8–12 visits to rebuild dermal density in post-surgical scars and radiation-damaged tissue.
