Microneedling Houston

Improve Skin Texture for a Smoother, More Toned Appearance

Also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy (CIT), microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin. This helps the body generate new collagen and skin tissue for a smoother, more toned appearance. Microneedling is most often used on the face. It can help treat acne, scars, wrinkles, and large pores.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling is typically done in 4-6 sessions, about a month apart. Your skin must be clear before the procedure to avoid causing an infection or excessive inflammation.

With each session the skin becomes thicker and more tolerant, allowing the technician to insert the needles deeper into the skin. Microneedling essentially causes hundreds of tiny wounds, which forces the body to generate new collagen and elastin—the proteins that make skin firm and taut.

The technician will also apply a collagen-enhancing serum after each procedure.

What to Expect

Microneedling Treatment

The technician will numb your skin, and the procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the procedure area. The numbing cream will help minimize discomfort during the procedure.

You’ll have redness and some swelling for 1-2 days after the treatment, but it typically starts to fade significantly within a few hours. Your skin will peel after 3-5 days, which is normal. You’ll need to follow a microneedling skin care regimen after the procedure, which the treatment team will explain in detail.

Additional Information

Breast lift surgery typically takes 2-3 hours and is performed in an outpatient setting. Depending on how extensive your surgery is you may need to spend the night in the hospital.

After surgery, you’ll need to rest for 1-2 days. It’s normal to have bruising, swelling, and tenderness after surgery that lasts for 2-3 weeks. You’ll wear a pressure garment or specialized bra 24 hours a day for 3-4 weeks, and you must avoid gym exercise for 4 weeks. You’ll also need to avoid sun exposure on the breasts for a few months and take special care of your incision sites with scar-reducing creams and silicone gel sheets.
