What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, our team performs microneedling treatments to help improve skin texture, firmness, and tone without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. Performed with a precision microneedling pen, this treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. Microneedling is especially effective for those struggling with visible acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, or uneven skin. It can also be combined with PRP or vitamin-rich serums for enhanced benefits.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling sessions are performed in our office and typically take 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. After cleansing the skin, a numbing cream may be applied for added comfort. We then use a microneedling pen to create microchannels in the skin, encouraging regeneration and deeper absorption of any serums applied afterward. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or vitamin-enriched topicals may be massaged in post-treatment to maximize results. A gentle moisturizer and sun protection are applied to soothe the skin and guard against UV exposure during the healing process.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Patients at Westover Hills Dermatology enjoy a range of microneedling benefits, including:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of acne scars and surface irregularities
- Minimization of fine lines and mild skin laxity
- Safe and effective option with minimal downtime
- Can be combined with serums or PRP for enhanced outcomes
