Microneedling is a procedure that uses tiny sterile needles to puncture the skin. This "tricks" the skin into thinking it is injured, so then it produces new collagen and elastin in response. The "micro-injuries" don't cause scars or permanent damage. Instead, they trigger a reaction in which the skin starts repairing itself using a natural process known as dermal remodeling.
The procedure leaves the skin looking younger, plumper, healthier, and smoother, with less noticeable scars and wrinkles. We often simultaneously use PRP/PRF when Microneedling to use your body's natural healing mechanisms to enhance results.
Microneedling at The Refinery Medical Aesthetics in Georgetown, TX, can help with the following:
Microneedling is a safe procedure with no downtime. A topical anesthetic is generally used for comfort, but there are no serious risks of complications. Ideal candidates are looking to rejuvenate their skin and have realistic expectations for the treatment. At your consultation at The Refinery, we take the time to listen to your concerns and aesthetic goals so we can help you find the right treatment for you and your skincare routine.
Microneedling is a simple, straightforward treatment that is usually performed in an hour or less, though your treatment might vary based on your tailored treatment plan. First, you'll consult with one of our licensed providers to discuss your concerns and treatment goals.
On your appointment day, we will get you situated in a comfortable treatment space and start by cleaning your skin of any dirt or impurities. We then topically apply a mild anesthetic (numbing cream) to the treatment area.
After the numbing takes effect, your aesthetic professional will start the procedure by gliding over your skin with our Microneedling device. Using hair-fine needles, microchannels are created in your skin to stimulate the production of new skin cells and collagen. There is very minimal pain or discomfort while the procedure is taking place. Microneedling only takes 15 to 20 minutes, but we book you out for a one-hour appointment to include numbing and post-care education.
After your Microneedling treatment is finished, our experienced medical providers will provide exact aftercare instructions to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. Georgetown microneedling patients can usually expect a degree of redness and tightness in the targeted area, like a sunburn, for up to five days.
We expect nothing less than healthier and more radiant-looking skin as a result of completing a Microneedling session with us here at The Refinery. Depending on your treatment plan, you may start to see results as soon as three days after treatment. For best results, repeat monthly for a total of 3-5 treatments.
Like any treatment, your long-term Microneedling results will be up to you. How well you take care of your skin by having a proper skincare routine and adhering to post-treatment care instructions will greatly impact the duration and quality of your results. Every patient's body reacts differently to treatment, which is why we take care to personalize your treatment plan to your needs.
Our aesthetic professionals or board-certified physician assistants will ask about your skin goals and conduct a skin assessment to determine if Microneedling or related services are in your best interest.
