Microneedling is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production. At FACE/FIT in Houston, we offer advanced microneedling treatments using the Transform Your Skin with Microneedling Using SkinStylus and PRP add-on to enhance results. This blog explains the benefits of microneedling, its effectiveness, and what you can expect.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize the appearance of scars.
At FACE/FIT, we use the SkinStylus device for precise and safe treatments. This tool is built for optimal results with minimal discomfort.
Adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to the process further enhances the effects. PRP, derived from your blood, contains growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and promote collagen production. According to Healthline, PRP works well in combination with microneedling to support skin regeneration.
How Microneedling Improves Your Skin
Enhances Texture and Reduces Scars
Microneedling helps smooth uneven skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores. By promoting collagen, it strengthens the skin and makes it firmer and more uniform.
Encourages Collagen Production for Firmer Skin
Collagen is critical for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen levels drop, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Microneedling helps restore collagen, improving skin over time.
Increases Product Absorption
Microneedling creates pathways in the skin that allow skincare products to penetrate more effectively. This enhances the effectiveness of serums and other treatments. Adding PRP intensifies this benefit by delivering growth factors directly to the treated area.
Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Microneedling is non-invasive, meaning no surgery or significant recovery time is required. Most people experience mild redness for 24-48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. When combined with PRP, recovery time may be even shorter.
Why Choose Microneedling with SkinStylus and PRP
The SkinStylus device provides precise and consistent results with minimal discomfort. It works well for various skin concerns, from fine lines to stretch marks. The PRP add-on promotes faster healing and visible improvements.

After Treatment
You may notice mild redness and tightness for a couple of days. It’s important to follow aftercare recommendations, such as avoiding sun exposure and using the prescribed skincare products. Verywell Health highlights the role of aftercare in optimizing results and recovery.
