Microneedling in Austin, TX
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that promotes collagen production and natural healing for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Using a device with fine needles, this treatment creates tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process encourages the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which maintains the skin’s firmness and smoothness. Microneedling can treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin tone, revitalizing the skin. With minimal downtime and customizable treatment options, microneedling is an effective choice for people looking to enhance their skin’s texture and appearance.
Microneedling in Austin, TX, is ideal for those seeking a non-surgical method to refresh and renew their skin.

Available Add-ons
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
PRP Therapy is a popular add-on to microneedling, where a small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelets. This platelet-rich plasma is then applied to the skin, boosting the microneedling results. PRP is known to accelerate healing, enhance collagen production, and enhance skin texture and tone, making it an excellent option for clients seeking advanced skin rejuvenation.

FAQs
Microneedling uses a device with fine needles that create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
A typical microneedling session begins with a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Once numbed, the skin specialist glides the microneedling device over the treatment area. The session takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Microneedling is both practical and safe for most skin tones and types, including darker skin, as it does not use heat like lasers, which can sometimes lead to hyperpigmentation. However, microneedling may not suit anyone with certain skin conditions like active acne, eczema, or psoriasis.
Many clients notice an immediate glow and subtle improvement in skin texture after their first microneedling session. However, the primary benefits develop over several weeks as collagen production gradually increases. For optimal results, a series of sessions—typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart—is often recommended.
The ideal number of sessions varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. For general skin rejuvenation, many clients benefit from 3 to 6 sessions. However, those with more specific concerns, such as acne scars or deep wrinkles, may require additional treatments.
Definitely! This can be used in conjunction with other treatments for enhanced results. One of the most popular combinations is microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, which accelerates healing and boosts collagen production even further.
