What Does Microneedling Do?

If you want your skin to look smoother, brighter, and more even, microneedling can help. This effective treatment works on all skin tones and can give you firmer, more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses a handpiece with tiny needles that penetrate a few millimeters into the skin. This creates microchannels that stimulate the skin’s healing process. In response to the microneedling, the skin begins to produce collagen, making your skin stronger, firmer, and more resilient. This smooths out lines and wrinkles, reduces the appearance of scars, and improves overall skin health.

To achieve even better results, Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics also offers the Secret™ RF. This microneedling device uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to expand the effect of the microchannels, triggering more collagen production. The Secret™ RF offers all the benefits of traditional microneedling with the added benefits of RF energy.

What Does Microneedling Do?

Because collagen is a crucial component of healthy, youthful skin, microneedling sets off signals in your skin that cause cells to make more collagen. As a result, you can see benefits such as:

Reduced lines and wrinkles
Smoother, more even texture
Diminished signs of aging
Improvements in signs of sun damage
Reduced appearance of acne scars
Smaller pores
More even skin tone
Tighter, firmer skin

Your skin will have a healthier, brighter appearance after microneedling, and it will continue to improve for weeks to months after treatment as more collagen develops. Most people will need more than one treatment to see maximum results. We can help you determine how many treatments you need to treat your skin concerns.

What is Microneedling Like?

The microchannels created in the microneedling process only go a few millimeters into the skin. People often hesitate to consider microneedling because it involves needles, but treatment usually feels much less uncomfortable than you expect. Most people tolerate microneedling very well and love the results enough to return for further treatments.

Is There Any Downtime With Microneedling?

You will probably experience minor sensitivity and redness for a few hours after treatment. The microchannels are so tiny that they close almost immediately. You can go back to your normal activities as soon as you finish your session. Make sure to protect your results by wearing sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Most people make good candidates for microneedling. If you have skin concerns such as loose skin, signs of aging, or uneven skin tone, microneedling makes an excellent treatment option. If you have an active skin condition or an infection in the treatment area, you may need to wait for this to resolve before having microneedling.
