Friday: 8 a. Microneedling in The Woodlands, between Conroe and Spring, TX, has become one of the most popular nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments we offer. This process generates collagen, which is one of the essential elements of smooth, youthful-looking skin. Combining the science of plastic surgery and dermatology with the art of aesthetic procedures, Dr.
Paul Gill and Dr. Anita Gill use their experience and expertise to create attractive results in a comfortable, patient-centered environment. A microneedling treatment begins with your provider applying a topical numbing cream to the target area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
After the skin is numb, we create the tiny perforations in the outer skin using a hand-held device called the SkinPen, the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA. A sterile, single-use cartridge containing 14 tiny needles is attached to the tip of the SkinPen and adjusted to create microchannels at the depth appropriate for your treatment. Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and can be part of your regular skincare regimen to promote collagen production and maintain smooth skin.
We can enhance the results of microneedling treatment by applying serums or platelet-rich plasma after the procedure. Microneedling treatments can take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the target area.
Active acne, sunburns, or open sores may also necessitate postponing an appointment. Blood-thinning medication such as ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, and Ginkgo biloba should be avoided for 7 days before treatments to minimize bleeding during the procedure. Morpheus8 takes microneedling to another level by combining it with radiofrequency RF energy to boost the production of new collagen and elastin.
