Microneedling

During microneedling in Austin, TX, tiny microneedles are used to stimulate the production of new collagen. This method makes use of your skin’s natural ability to heal, making wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging less noticeable.

Microneedling is a quick and easy minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. This method works best for people with mild to moderate wrinkles or acne scars.

Why Undergo Microneedling?

In addition to wrinkles and UV damage, microneedling helps heal acne scars and other skin abnormalities. It is most commonly used on the face, but Dr. Atencio may also use it to remove stretch marks and tighten loose skin in other areas of the body, such as the thighs or the abdomen.

The primary benefit of microneedling is increased collagen synthesis; levels of collagen steadily decline with age, and stimulating collagen production combats wrinkles.

Who Are Good Candidates?

Both men and women who are concerned about the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation may find that microneedling is an effective treatment option. Those who are currently experiencing a skin infection need to fully treat it before coming in for microneedling.

In contrast to other treatments, microneedling is a procedure that may be used by everyone, regardless of their skin type or tone.

People who have developed keloid scars in the past or who have recently undergone radiation therapy are not good candidates for the procedure.

What Happens During the Consultation?

During your microneedling appointment, your skin will be assessed and your medical history will be discussed in order to determine the best course of action. We will answer any questions you may have about your skin issues and give you specific instructions in terms of preparation and aftercare.

What to Expect During Microneedling

During a microneedling treatment, a handpiece equipped with tiny needles is gently moved over the skin. The skin’s inherent renewal processes are triggered by this procedure. Miniature puncture wounds are made in the dermis by the needles; these injuries are microscopic and completely safe.

Microneedling triggers a natural biological healing response. The body begins healing itself by replacing skin cells. Cell renewal replaces dull dead skin cells with new healthy ones. As a result, there is improved circulation, which speeds up healing and waste removal. The skin also produces more collagen and elastin for tighter skin.

What Is the Recommended Number of Treatments?

The number of microneedling treatments required is determined by the severity of your skin imperfections. Many people see a difference after just a few treatments. It usually requires four treatments to obtain optimal results.

When Can I Expect to See Results?

You will start to see improvements a few weeks after your microneedling treatment as new collagen grows. The effects of the treatment will continue to improve over time. Individual outcomes vary for each patient.

If you take good care of your skin with a regular at-home beauty routine, you can maintain your microneedling results. Wearing sunscreen or other protective clothing and avoiding prolonged sun exposure can be very helpful.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

The total cost of microneedling varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Besides the face, other areas of the body that benefit from microneedling include the neck, arms, and legs. Price can also be impacted by the number of treatment sessions required.
