Treatment Planning Tool (opens in new tab)The Secret to Superior Skin
Whether you want to reduce your wrinkles or simply add a natural glow to your face, microneedling is a versatile treatment that can do it all. Microneedling utilizes tiny needles to create pricks in the skin, which signals collagen to grow new and healthy skin cells. At Refresh Dermatology, we implement traditional microneedling into our treatment programs to meet your goals.

Treatments
We will determine the exact number of microneedling sessions in your individualized treatment plan. Our microneedling options offer precise control over the areas we treat for superior results. Your provider rolls the device inlaid with needles over your skin to puncture the surface and encourage collagen production.

Results
After the treatment, you may experience some initial redness or swelling from the microwounds. As collagen rebuilds in the treated areas, you will notice significant progress toward tighter, firmer, and brighter skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling in Houston
Most of our patients who undergo microneedling in Houston report that it is quite tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream to reduce any potential discomfort during the treatment appointment.
After the initial redness and swelling has gone down, you’ll begin to see results. Since collagen grows over time, it takes several months for full results to develop. However, because each treatment program is tailored to each patient, the amount of sessions and the length of time for results will vary.
