Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical skin treatment that can help minimize the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars, lighten and correct pigmentation, and rejuvenate the skin for a more even skin tone and texture. In Frisco, TX, microneedling is performed by the skincare experts of Texas Facial Aesthetics, overseen by board-certified facial plastic surgeons Dr. Matthew Richardson and Dr. Jordan Cain.
What is Microneedling?
We use the SkinPen® microneedling device, the first one cleared by the FDA. The device contains multiple fine needles that puncture the skin and create a controlled micro-injury. This triggers the body’s wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and other growth factors to provide skin rejuvenation
Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Most patients with mild to moderate blemishes or aging concerns like those mentioned above are strong candidates for microneedling therapy. Patients experiencing cystic and active acne/pustules must be fully recovered before proceeding to microneedling. If you are pregnant or nursing, you will need to wait until a later date.
Microneedling is not a light-based procedure, nor does it involve harsh techniques that can instigate significant skin inflammation. It also does not strongly damage the epidermis. For all these reasons, microneedling is safe and effective for every skin type. Furthermore, microneedling is recommended as a safer treatment option for darker skin types in place of stronger laser treatments, since it has less risk of causing pigmentation issues.
Microneedling Benefits
- Subtle yet highly effective improvements to skin smoothness, tone, and texture
- Minimally invasive
- Minor (if any) discomfort during and after
- “Lunch break” treatment that usually takes less than an hour
- Little to no downtime from daily activities
- Safely performed by trained skincare professionals in a comfortable clinical setting
The Microneedling Procedure
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure easily tolerated by most patients. 30 minutes prior to the treatment, we apply a medical-strength numbing cream that effectively reduces or eliminates any discomfort. The SkinPen® device is gradually moved over each desired treatment area, allowing the needles to penetrate the skin for the necessary collagen stimulation. After the treatment, a soothing serum or moisturizer may be applied to help calm the skin and aid in the healing process.
Microneedling Recovery
Recovery is minimal and varies depending on each patient’s reaction and skin tone. Most recipients can expect three to four days of total healing time post-procedure, but are typically back to work or school the next day with a small amount of redness to the skin. Most patients describe the immediate post-treatment period as similar to having a sunburn. You can also experience some pinpoint bleeding during and immediately after the treatment.
It is recommended to avoid excessive sweating, strenuous exercise, sun exposure, or applying any skincare products, cleansing, and make-up to the skin for 24-48 hours post-treatment to avoid an infection of the micro-wounds. To treat and correct skin concerns more effectively, we recommend a series of six microneedling sessions performed every four weeks, so this process can take about six months to complete.
How Much Does SkinPen® Microneedling Cost?
The cost of your microneedling treatment plan will depend on a variety of factors, including the types of symptoms you have, their size, and the number of sessions you need to obtain your ideal improvements. During your initial consultation, we can discuss the price and other essential details about your potential microneedling therapy.
