Why You Should Add Microneedling to Your Wellness Routine

At Medical Aesthetics & Laser, we’re proud to offer the very best aesthetic treatments in the industry. Microneedling is among those offerings, and can help you feel great about the appearance of your skin. If you reside in The Woodlands, Texas, or the Houston metropolitan area, we’re happy to help you find a new treatment to add to your existing wellness routine. 

Here’s how microneedling works and why you should consider trying it: 

Microneedling works by prompting your body’s healing abilities

Microneedling treatments use a handpiece with tiny, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the surface of your skin. Your body perceives each of these minuscule channels as a microinjury and reacts with a strong healing response. 

Circulation to the area improves, inflammation decreases, and your body begins to produce new collagen and elastin. As the healing process moves forward, your skin becomes clearer, tighter, and more evenly toned. 

While microneedling stimulates healing, there is no significant damage done during treatments. Some minimal swelling, redness, and bruising are to be expected, but your skin adjusts within a few days. 

Microneedling can improve a long list of skin issues

One of the biggest advantages of microneedling is that it addresses multiple skin complaints at once. Some of the issues that microneedling can improve include:

• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Stretch marks
• Loose or crepey skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne scarring
• Roughly textured skin

The ability to tackle multiple skin concerns with the same aesthetics treatment makes microneedling a great return on your investment. 

You can also choose to incorporate radiofrequency energy into your microneedling treatments, which promotes more cell renewal and can boost your results. Medical Aesthetics & Laser offers microneedling treatments using the SkinPen®, Scarlet SRF®, and Agnes RF® platforms. 

During your consultation, you can explore the pros and cons of each option to select the best treatment for you. 

Patience is an important part of microneedling

It takes time for your body to create new cells and improve circulation to the treatment area. While you might notice some initial improvements in the days after your treatment, it takes a couple of months to see the full effects. 

Be patient as you move through the process, and monitor your skin to see how it responds after microneedling. You may need a series of treatments spaced out over time to achieve optimal results. 

How does microneedling fit into wellness planning?

Wellness is the act of nurturing your whole self. That includes your physical, mental, and emotional health. Moving through the world feeling great about your appearance helps you feel more self-assured, confident, and comfortable. And that translates into more rewarding connections with others. 

Wellness can mean different things to different people. For many, taking great care of themselves is a big part of the process, and aesthetic treatments can be part of that journey. Prioritizing your skin goals is a wonderful way to focus your energy inward.
