Microneedling

Stimulate natural skin rejuvenation & cellular regeneration.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It involves the use of a device equipped with fine, sterile needles that create tiny, controlled punctures or micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Austin Aesthetics in Austin, Texas offers Microneedling with and without PRP in our in studio location at Barton Creek Square.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

This skin rejuvenation procedure is a reliable and effective choice for all body regions, including the face, neck, and décolletage (the area of your chest exposed by lower-neckline clothing). It helps improve:

  • Sun damage (sun spots)

  • Age and brown spots

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Stretch marks

  • Acne scarring

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Large pore size

What Does Microneedling Feel Like? Does It Hurt?

Before your treatment, the esthetician will administer a numbing cream to reduce any potential discomfort. The microneedling device's high-speed motor facilitates rapid needle penetration, with most clients likening the sensation to sandpaper or a cat's tongue. Microneedling for scar treatment may involve deeper penetration into nerve spaces, potentially causing some discomfort.

Once the numbing cream subsides, you may experience a sensation akin to a sunburn, typically lasting for just 24 hours.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of sessions and the recommended interval between them are contingent on the state of your skin and your desired results. For optimal outcomes, Austin Aesthetics suggests a sequence of three (3) microneedling sessions, spaced roughly 4 weeks apart.

Your skincare expert will work with you to craft a tailor-made treatment regimen and a maintenance strategy to help you sustain the rejuvenating effects.

What is PRP?

PRP, which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a key component of some microneedling procedures, often referred to as "Vampire Facial" or "Vampire Facelift." PRP is a substance derived from a patient's blood. PRP is often favored for its potential to accelerate the healing process and enhance the results of microneedling. It is a natural substance derived from the patient's body, which can reduce the risk of adverse reactions or allergies. Microneedling with PRP is often chosen by those seeking a non-surgical and more holistic approach to skin rejuvenation.

How Much Is Microneedling?

Microneedling costs $350 per session at Austin Aesthetics at Barton Creek in Studio location. Save $50 when you purchase a series of three treatments for the face. 

  • $350/session

    Series of 3 $950 (Recommended)

  • Additional Area: $200

What Will I Look Like After Microneedling?

Following microneedling, your facial complexion may resemble a sunburn. The majority of our patients opt for a day off, resuming work the day after the procedure.

In cases of more extensive treatments, redness may persist for a few days or up to a week, and you might encounter minor pinprick bleeding, which typically ceases right away. If you have special events on the horizon, we advise allowing for a full 7 days to ensure a complete recovery.

When Will I See Results?

Healing process starts almost instantly. Your skin will exhibit a smoother and more radiant appearance within a week of your microneedling treatment at Austin Aesthetics. Results manifest gradually, with progressive improvement after each session.

Is Microneedling Safe For All Skin Types?

Microneedling offers safety and effectiveness for individuals of diverse skin types and tones, with no potential for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
