Revitalize Your Skin With Microneedling
If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to enhance your skin’s health and appearance, microneedling may be the ideal treatment for you. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to rejuvenate the skin, reduce imperfections, and promote a smooth, glowing complexion. At Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics in The Woodlands, TX, we offer microneedling to help you achieve youthful, radiant skin with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries (micro-injuries) in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that support skin elasticity, texture, and firmness.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who want to improve their skin's appearance without undergoing invasive surgery. It can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and large pores. Microneedling can also enhance the absorption of topical serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), making it a customizable and effective option for skin rejuvenation.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling can effectively address a wide range of skin concerns, such as:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Helps reduce the appearance of aging signs by stimulating collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Over time, the skin becomes smoother and the lines less pronounced.
1
Acne Scars: Smooths the skin and reduces the visibility of scar tissue caused by acne, providing a more even skin texture. The treatment promotes skin renewal, helping scars fade and blend into the surrounding skin.
2
Stretch Marks: Microneedling encourages healing in areas with stretch marks, improving skin texture and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin.
3
Large Pores: Tightens the skin and minimizes the appearance of pores, leaving your complexion looking smoother and more refined. By boosting collagen production, microneedling helps restore skin elasticity and firmness.
4
Hyperpigmentation: Improves skin tone and reduces discoloration or sunspots, giving you a more even and radiant complexion. Microneedling helps stimulate the skin's repair process, fading dark spots and enhancing overall skin clarity.
5
General Skin Texture: Enhances overall skin health and radiance for a youthful glow by promoting cell turnover and collagen synthesis. This leads to smoother, more vibrant skin with a healthier, natural shine.
6
The goal is to ensure that your skin remains healthy and any concerns are addressed as soon as possible.
How Does Microneedling Work?
A microneedling treatment takes around 30 to 60 minutes to complete and is performed in one of our office procedure rooms with local anesthesia or numbing cream if desired; however, patients typically report mild or no discomfort. The areas of skin being addressed will be cleaned before the handpiece is passed evenly over. Once the microneedling is performed, a topical treatment, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a serum with a vitamin infusion, can be applied for deeper penetration of the nutrients into the skin. A moisturizer will be massaged in along with sunscreen since the treated skin will be more sensitive following the procedure.
What to Expect After Microneedling Treatment
After your microneedling session, you may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which usually resolves within a day. As the collagen and elastin production increases, noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance will begin to show over the next 1 to 2 months.
For optimal results, we recommend 4 to 6 microneedling treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The treatments work synergistically to improve your skin’s health and maintain long-lasting results.
