Microneedling in League City, TX is an in-office skin regeneration treatment that produces a significant difference in skin quality. The procedure involves tiny needles applied to the skin, which create micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing process. As a result, your skin will naturally develop more collagen and elastin, nature’s skin-firming proteins.

Microneedling: Transforming Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the look of acne scars, lighten hyperpigmentation, reduce pore size, smooth and firm skin texture, and soften the look of stretch marks.
Firmer, More Youthful Skin with SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA. This device has been clinically proven to treat facial acne scars safely and effectively for people 22 years old and older. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your skin’s appearance and face life with confidence.
Fast Treatment, Beautiful Results
SkinPen microneedling is appropriate for all skin types, from dark to light, and requires only about 30 minutes to complete. SkinPen microneedling is minimally invasive, safe, and requires little to no downtime. Most patients just return to work or other activities the same or the next day.
What is the Treatment Experience?
A microneedling treatment involves creating micro-injuries in your skin, so a topical anesthetic is applied to help you experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. Immediately after microneedling in League City, TX, your skin will appear slightly pink to red, similar to a sunburn.
You could experience some degree of dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, tenderness, and in a few cases, mild burning for one to six days after treatment. These symptoms typically resolve over time and are generally very mild.
Preparing for Your Microneedling Treatment
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or getting a sunburn for at least 24 hours prior to the procedure.
- Discontinue the use of topical retinoids 24 hours prior to the procedure.
- If you have an active breakout, you must wait for your skin to clear to undergo treatment.
- Wait 24 hours after autoimmune therapy before SkinPen treatment.
- Wait six months following oral isotretinoin use.
The SkinPen Treatment, Step By Step
- A topical anesthetic will be applied to alleviate most of the discomfort during the procedure.

Fresh, Renewed Skin Can Be Yours
Your skin loses its natural firm, supple quality as it stops producing collagen and elastin as it did in your younger years. With SkinPen microneedling, the tiny injuries created by the device send a signal to your cells to regenerate and heal. The results are firmer, smoother skin – the direct result of the increase in collagen production occurring within the structure.
