Microneedling in Houston, TX

Microneedling Houston for Smoother, Firmer, More Youthful Skin

Also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), microneedling in Houston is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin. Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face and can effectively address acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and early signs of aging.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling at Aesthetic Surgery Institute is typically completed in 4–6 sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Your skin should be free of active breakouts or open wounds before each session to reduce the risk of infection or inflammation. With each treatment, the skin's tolerance builds, allowing deeper and more effective needle penetration over time.

The procedure creates precise micro-channels in the skin that trigger the body's wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, youthful-looking skin. A collagen-enhancing serum is applied after each session to enhance absorption and support the skin's recovery.

What to Expect

Microneedling Treatment

The technician will numb your skin, and the procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the procedure area. The numbing cream will help minimize discomfort during the procedure.

You’ll have redness and some swelling for 1-2 days after the treatment, but it typically starts to fade significantly within a few hours. Your skin will peel after 3-5 days, which is normal. You’ll need to follow a microneedling skin care regimen after the procedure, which the treatment team will explain in detail.

Microneedling with PRP

For patients seeking enhanced results, we offer microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — sometimes referred to as a "vampire facial." PRP is derived from a small sample of your own blood, which is centrifuged to isolate the plasma. This plasma, rich in natural growth factors, is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling to accelerate healing and amplify collagen production.

PRP microneedling is particularly effective for patients targeting acne scars, dullness, uneven skin tone, and early skin laxity. During your consultation, our team will recommend whether standard microneedling or microneedling with PRP is the better fit for your skin goals.

Additional Information

Two of the most common microneedling tools are the Dermapen and the Dermaroller. The Dermapen is a pen-shaped electronic device that stamps needles vertically into the skin with adjustable depth and speed, allowing precise treatment around contours like the nose and eyes with minimal discomfort. The Dermaroller is a manual rolling device covered with fine needles that glides across the skin. While both stimulate collagen production, the Dermapen is preferred in medical settings for its precision and consistent needle depth. Dr. Do's team uses professional-grade devices to ensure safe, effective, and controlled treatment.
