Smoother, Healthier Complexion

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in New Braunfels, TX, microneedling is an effective treatment for acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. This minimally invasive procedure promotes skin rejuvenation and stimulates collagen production, resulting in a smoother and healthier complexion.

Stimulate collagen and reverse signs of aging

Microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. The outcome is improved skin texture, a reduction in scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, and an overall more even and radiant skin tone. Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, with common treatment areas including the face, neck, and décolletage, providing a youthful, revitalized appearance.

What microneedling treats:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks
  • Loose skin
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Age spots
  • Surgical and traumatic scars

How microneedling works

Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, creates precise, tiny punctures in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound-healing response, which results in the production of new collagen and elastin, essential proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin.

This process not only helps to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles but also improves the skin’s overall texture and tone, leading to a fresher, more youthful look.

Key benefits of microneedling:

  • Minimally invasive with little downtime
  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production

Microneedling treatment details

Treatment Process

During your microneedling session at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in New Braunfels, a skilled specialist will clean your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. A handheld device with fine, sterile needles will be applied to the treatment area to create precise micro-injuries in a controlled manner. You may feel a slight prickling sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is usually minimal. Treatment sessions last approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. A soothing serum will be applied afterward to aid in healing and optimize results.

Recovery

After microneedling, you may notice some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort, similar to the sensation of a sunburn. This typically improves within 24 to 48 hours. It's important to keep your skin moisturized and avoid sun exposure during the healing process. You may also experience slight peeling as your skin regenerates. Most patients can return to regular activities immediately, with little to no downtime. Over the following weeks, your skin will continue to improve, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Results

You’ll likely see initial improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days of your microneedling treatment. Optimal results become more noticeable after several weeks as collagen production continues. Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the best outcomes. The effects of microneedling can last several months, and maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months can help preserve your results. After each session, your skin should appear more youthful, smoother, and firmer.
