Microneedling
Your experiences make you who you are. Unfortunately, they can also leave visible marks on your complexion. Over time, signs of aging, sun damage, and past acne breakouts accumulate, dulling your youthful glow. Microneedling offers a proven way to renew the surface of your skin by using your body's natural healing mechanisms. This treatment gently stimulates collagen and elastin production to address fine lines, uneven texture, and minor scarring. Patients choose this procedure when they want noticeable skin improvement without extended recovery times.
At The Artisan Center for Plastic Surgery, every skin treatment begins with an individual evaluation. Dr. B. Allen Rodgers and our aesthetic specialists listen to your concerns and analyze your skin before recommending a specific care plan. We focus on conservative, effective techniques that yield natural improvements.
Refines skin texture, softens fine lines, reduces acne scarring, minimizes pore size, and boosts natural collagen production.
In-office treatment lasting 30 to 60 minutes with topical numbing applied for optimal comfort.
Minimal, with mild redness and tightness similar to a light sunburn lasting 24 to 48 hours.
Skin begins to look more radiant within a week; progressive texture improvements develop over 4 to 6 weeks.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin renewal treatment. The procedure uses fine micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the surface layer of the skin. These small channels trigger your natural repair process, prompting the production of fresh collagen and elastic tissue.
As new skin cells form, your complexion becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone. Microneedling provides a versatile option for patients who want structural skin rejuvenation without heat-based lasers or deep chemical peels.
Your treatment takes place in our comfortable, boutique office in Katy. Before the procedure begins, your aesthetic specialist applies a topical numbing cream to the targeted area. This ensures you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
Once your skin is fully numb, your provider glides a specialized microneedling device across the treatment area. The small needles penetrate the outer skin layer at precise, customizable depths tailored to your specific concerns. The entire process takes less than an hour. Afterward, soothing topical serums are applied to nourish your skin while the micro-channels are open.
Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, but it is also effective for treating the neck, décolletage, and hands. The treatment addresses a wide range of common skin texture and tone concerns:
Microneedling delivers structural skin improvements through natural biological repair processes. By creating microchannels in the skin, microneedling kickstarts collagen production without relying on heat or synthetic chemicals. It is safe for almost all skin types and complexions when performed under proper clinical supervision and comes with minimal recovery time. Additionally, the micro-channels created during the session allow active skincare ingredients and topical serums to penetrate deeper into the skin, boosting their overall effectiveness.
Most adults in good general health who wish to improve their skin texture are candidates for microneedling. This procedure works well for individuals in their 30s and 40s who want to maintain smooth skin and slow down visible signs of aging.
Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that best results often come from a structured series of treatments. Patients with active skin infections, open wounds, or severe inflammatory acne in the treatment area should wait until those conditions resolve before undergoing treatment. During your consultation, our team will review your medical history to confirm that microneedling is safe for you.
After your treatment session, your skin will appear slightly pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn. You may feel slight tightness or warmth in the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours. Most patients resume their normal daily routine immediately, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and heavy makeup for two to three days.
Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions, including gentle cleanser choices and hydrating serums to support your skin during the recovery phase. Daily sun protection is essential following treatment to protect your newly forming skin cells.
Initial skin smoothness and hydration are often visible within a week after your appointment. More significant structural improvements, such as scar softening and fine line reduction, appear gradually over four to six weeks as new collagen matures.
Because skin continues to age naturally, we typically recommend a series of three to four initial sessions spaced four weeks apart. Periodic maintenance treatments scheduled once or twice a year help maintain your smooth skin texture and youthful glow long term.

A topical numbing cream is applied to your skin prior to treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients report feeling only light pressure or a gentle vibrating sensation during the session.
While a single session can improve skin radiance, a series of three to six treatments usually delivers the best results for texture improvement and scar reduction. Your specialist will customize a plan during your initial consultation.

Collagen produced during your treatments remains in the skin for many months. However, because natural aging continues, we recommend periodic maintenance treatments once or twice a year to sustain your skin firmness and smooth texture.
