Nov 06, 2025 09:39AM ● By Jerome Bilaos

Blending the time-honored wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern techniques for skin and body rejuvenation, Acupuncture Works Center in Flemington now offers Microneedling and Red Light (Spectral) Therapy, alongside its signature acupuncture, herbal medicine, and infrared crystal mat treatments.

At her peaceful and welcoming clinic, Kristin A. Dudley, L.Ac., Board Certified and Licensed Acupuncturist, creates a space for healing that honors the body’s innate intelligence. Her integrative approach bridges ancient and modern therapies to help clients restore balance, vitality, and natural radiance—inside and out.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, gently stimulates the skin’s natural repair process to enhance collagen production, improve tone and texture, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles—revealing a fresh, youthful glow without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.

Spectral Light Therapy supports skin health and overall wellbeing by reducing inflammation, accelerating wound healing, easing pain, and even improving mood, energy, and sleep.

Infrared Crystal Mat Therapy promotes circulation, reduces stress, relieves pain, and supports gentle detoxification for whole-body harmony.

With thousands of years of tradition guiding each treatment, Dudley emphasizes natural care that brings the body back into balance—combining the wisdom of the ancients with the innovations of today.

Tick Tackler

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
