Regenerative Skin Treatment

Microneedling at Face Forward

At Face Forward Houston microneedling can reduce fine lines, scars from acne, texture irregularities and shrink pores. We also offer microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for boosted skin rejuvenation. PRP is derived from your own blood by centrifuging your blood to isolate the plasma. The plasma is full of growth factors and molecules that signal the tissue to regenerate and rebuild. The concentrated plasma is infused into your skin during microneedling to speed up the creation of new skin cells. You can have this regenerative treatment at Face Forward Houston that repairs damaged skin so that you can enjoy healthier, more radiant skin. To find out if microneedling or microneedling with PRP is correct for you, have a consultation with one of our medical providers.

Firmer, Younger-Looking Skin

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in a deep layer of the skin. Microneedling treatment promotes the skin’s self-repair mechanism. The body’s response to these small traumas is to boost natural healing and repair the skin with new collagen and elastin. The sterile micro-needles create mini injuries, which is enough to prompt the deeper layer of skin to rebuild, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring. As the skin repairs itself with renewed collagen, the result is smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

What serums are used during microneedling?

We offer microneedling treatment with two options:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Targets hydration and plumpness of the skin.
  • Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) – This serum is your body’s own personal growth factor extracted by doing a blood draw performed by our certified nurse practitioner. The blood is then spun, which separates the PRP from the hemoglobin (the red part of the blood). This treatment is commonly known as the true “Vampire Facial” and is great for addressing all areas of concern. It is also an entirely all-natural treatment.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

  • Improved fine lines/wrinkles
  • Minimizing large pores
  • Reduced acne/atrophic scarring
  • Correction of uneven skin tone
  • Better elasticity

A Transformative Treatment

Microneedling Preparation and Procedure

How long is the microneedling procedure?

The procedure is done in the office and takes approximately 20 minutes. Most Houston microneedling patients prefer to apply numbing cream to the face before the treatment for about 30 minutes. Plan for your visit to last about one hour.

Where is microneedling performed?

This transformative treatment is performed right in the office of Face Forward Houston. You can relax in our lounge chairs of the med spa while you numb, and treatment is done in the same room. Many patients opt for a vitamin IV drip, B12 shot, or other treatment at the same visit. Our Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner tailors each treatment to the patient's needs based on years of training and experience.

Results You Can See and Feel

Recovery & Downtime for Microneedling

Results & recovery may vary, but the following timeline provides a general idea of the recovery process.

  • Day 0: Most patients leave the clinic with mild to moderate pinpoint bleeding along with redness.
  • Day 1: The skin can feel warm, and some mild swelling may occur. The skin will look slightly red as if you got a sunburn.
  • Day 2: Mild to moderate redness, tightness & dryness is a common feeling for day two. The skin may begin peeling.
  • Day 3: The skin may still feel tight and dry, and some mild peeling can occur for some patients. Day 3 is usually the peak for peeling.
  • Day 4: The skin will be nearly done peeling, and you will begin to see the soft, smooth skin that is now at the surface. You need extra moisturizer at this time.
  • Days 5 -7: The skin is done peeling but may be slightly red. You may begin using the Oxygentix makeup (sold at Face Forward) to cover any redness. It is very important to keep your skin moisturized at this time and to use a physical block sunscreen.

When you’re ready for your microneedling Houston Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Regina Rodman, will perform the procedure at her surgery center located in Houston, TX.

How many sessions of microneedling are recommended?

Face Forward recommends that patients commit to at least 3 sessions of microneedling, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. You will see results after one treatment, but it will take 2 to 3 weeks after the final treatment to see maximum results.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between microneedling and microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling is a form of collagen induction treatment that works by puncturing the skin with a microneedling pen in order to promote cellular regeneration. Injectable or topical PRP reduces microneedling-induced inflammation, speeds recovery, and enhances collagen and elastin production.

Does it hurt?

Pain is very minimal. We recommend that patients plan to come on time to their appointment, where topical numbing cream is applied to the face and allowed to sit for 30 minutes. This ensures a comfortable treatment. Patients can expect to feel a slight vibration with this treatment after a topical numbing agent, making it pain-free and tolerable.
