The benefits of visiting a dermatologist for microneedling treatment in the areas of Houston and Katy, TX?

At Dr. W. Dermatology, with offices in Houston and Katy, TX, our dermatologist provides a variety of treatment options for patients who are struggling with cosmetic skin concerns. Our doctor may suggest treatments that can rejuvenate the skin, such as microneedling.

Microneedling explained

Our dermatologist, who serves patients in the areas of Houston, Katy, Richmond, and Sugarland, may make suggestions to patients who are interested in enhancing the texture and tone of their skin. We can assess a patient’s concerns and determine if microneedling would be helpful. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that is done right in our office and provides rejuvenation of the skin. It can be used to treat:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne scars
• Poor texture and tone

This treatment uses a specialized device that punctures the skin with extremely small needles. This helps in stimulating the body’s natural healing process, which allows the skin to produce collagen and elastin. These are the elements that keep the skin looking youthful. When this happens, patients will notice a natural glow to their skin, smaller pores, and improved texture and tone.

Is microneedling safe?

Procedures such as microneedling performed at Dr. W. Dermatology are all cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration, for cosmetic purposes. It can be used on patients of all ages and skin types, enhancing the appearance of the skin quickly and naturally. The procedure can be used on many areas of the face and body, including the neck, upper chest, and the back of the hands.

What to expect with microneedling?

While the idea behind microneedling sounds painful, patients find that the discomfort is minimal. Our team can help by applying topical anesthetics to the skin prior to performing the treatment. Once the procedure is completed, the skin may be red and irritated for the next day. Results are not seen immediately, because the body takes time to heal. Over the course of several weeks, patients will see continued results and overall improvement in their skin’s texture and tone. Issues such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scars begin to resolve on their own. These gradual improvements provide a natural approach to enhancing the skin,

This gradual enhancement of the skin will cause others to compliment patients on their appearance, without being able to figure out exactly why their skin is glowing and beautiful! Many patients love the results of microneedling and have the procedure done on a regular basis to continually enhance their skin.

Who is a candidate for microneedling?

All adult patients in the areas of Houston and Katy, TX who are seeking rejuvenation of the skin are candidates for treatment. We do encourage patients to book a consultation appointment at Dr. W. Dermatology to determine if microneedling is an appropriate treatment.

During an initial consultation appointment and evaluation, our team of professionals will advise patients in regard to procedures they can use to combat the concerns that they have.
