Microneedling: Renew your skin without surgery
Signs of aging and sun damage can rob us of our smooth, soft, radiant, and otherwise healthy and confidence-boosting skin. But, by turning to a highly skilled and qualified board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Huayi Zhang, we can restore your skin so it once again exudes health and pride. Microneedling represents one of many nonsurgical cosmetic treatments available at the office of Bluebonnet Dermatology in McKinney, Texas – and it might just be an appropriate step in your journey to better, more beautiful skin!
What is microneedling ?
​Also known as “collagen induction therapy (CIT),” microneedling is a minimally invasive, well-tolerated, safe, and efficient procedure for patients who crave to have their soft, smooth, youthful skin back.
How would microneedling improve my skin?
The idea behind microneedling is to stimulate a beneficial healing process. We eliminate the damaged skin cells and make way for new ones. True to its name, as CIT, we also stimulate collagen and elastin production. These natural proteins and fibers contribute favorably to the skin’s plumpness, elasticity, and overall quality.
What can I expect from treatment ?
During treatment, a small device is used to induce the process of healing the skin and producing collagen. This device is equipped with many fine, sterile needles. As our specialist expertly applies these needles, they create microchannels within the skin. Afterward, as the body heals itself, fresh collagen is produced. The result is skin that looks better and feels softer. Thanks to the new collagen, it may be an appropriate option to naturally “fill in” depressions, such as wrinkles and scars caused by past acne breakouts.
How long does treatment take ?
Due to our use of advanced technologies, you spend less time in treatment and more time enjoying your renewed skin! However, the total treatment time for microneedling and other cosmetic procedures varies depending on a wide range of factors, including the total treatment areas and the size of those areas. Generally, we can complete the process in about 15 to 30 minutes.
Will I need more than one treatment ?
Three to four treatment sessions are generally recommended. But, treatment needs vary by patient. For instance, Dr. Zhang can control the depth of the needles. When the needles penetrate more deeply, we can facilitate impressive results in less time. We can discuss these and other considerations during a consultation at our office in McKinney, Texas.
Will I need to take time off work ?
No! There is zero downtime associated with CIT. Plus, the side effects are generally tolerable and temporary, limited to treatment site redness and irritation.
