At BeauxMD, we love providing microneedling in McKinney for two reasons: one, because it uses the body’s own natural healing mechanisms, and two, because we can see how happy it makes our patients.
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments available to improve acne and acne scarring, sun damage, large pores, fine lines, loose skin, deep wrinkles, and pigmentation. It works by generating both new collagen and skin tissue to achieve smoother, firmer, healthier skin. Beaux MD is now servicing treatments of microneedling in McKinney, and servicing the Allen, and Frisco areas as well.
Microneedling uses superfine micro-needles on the damaged skin in order to stimulate the body’s wound healing process. By creating these tiny punctures in the damaged skin, collagen and elastin production is triggered, which is the key to new, youthfully radiant skin.
One of the biggest benefits to microneedling is its ability to work as an anti-aging treatment. Because it can create new skin cells, it’s not only reversing the signs of aging, but also preventing them.
Even if your issues are not age-related, microneedling in McKinney, TX is very effective for other problems, such as large pores and acne scars. While microneedling is typically done on the face, it can be done anywhere, and gets excellent results.
Before your microneedling treatment in McKinney TX, numbing cream will be applied to your skin to help keep any discomfort minimal. Dr. Barstad will then use a handheld instrument with the tiny needles on the damaged area. This instrument will pass over the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthier skin.
If you’re interested in a microneedling in McKinney, Allen, and Frisco areas at BeauxMD, please contact us to schedule an appointment. BeauxMD is a physician-owned and operated medical spa, so your health and well-being are our highest priority. We focus on restorative aesthetics and preserving natural beauty with every treatment that we provide.
Microneedling is commonly used to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, uneven skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. It can also help improve overall skin tone and texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, but the level of discomfort can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the depth of the treatment. Topical numbing creams can be applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, some people may experience a mild prickling or scratching sensation. Afterward, the treated area may feel slightly sensitive or tender, similar to a mild sunburn, for a day or two.
The downtime after microneedling is relatively minimal. Immediately after the procedure, the treated skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness typically subsides within a day or two. Some individuals may experience mild swelling or peeling, but it is generally mild and temporary. Your healthcare provider may recommend avoiding certain skincare products or activities for a few days to aid in the healing process.
It is generally recommended to avoid rigorous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating immediately after a microneedling treatment. It's important to allow your skin time to heal and recover. Typically, it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and swimming for at least 24 to 48 hours following a microneedling session.
