Medical Microneedling
The Most Advanced Microneedling Service in Pearland and Houston Area
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin that triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Microneedling offers fairly immediate results.
“From microneedling alone, you will look plump, pink and luminous for a couple of weeks. On a short-term basis, it plumps the skin and makes the skin look more radiant from inflammation and very superficial swelling,” Dr. Macrene says.
But microneedling also promises improvement over time.
According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart produced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment.
Microneedling is most often used on your face to target:
- age spots (also called “sun spots”)
- fine lines and wrinkles
- large pores
- acne scars
- other types of scars
- reduced skin elasticity
- uneven skin tone
