Ten reasons to choose professional microneedling for facial scars
Microneedling, sometimes known as collagen stimulation treatment, is one way for patients to improve their skin’s appearance and address problems such as facial scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture and tone. At Houston Dermatology Associates, Dr. Farah Shah and our team of providers are dedicated to ensuring patients choose the services most beneficial for their needs, and professional microneedling might be it! Let’s look at ten reasons our patients love using microneedling for skin imperfections.
Ten reasons to choose professional microneedling treatments for facial scars
- Affordability. Professional microneedling treatments at Houston Dermatology Associates are more affordable than other skin resurfacing procedures, such as laser therapy or chemical peels. This makes them a viable option for those looking to improve the appearance of their facial scars without breaking the bank.
- Minimal downtime. Unlike other procedures requiring significant healing downtime, microneedling has minimal downtime and discomfort. Most of our patients visiting Dr. Shah and her team for treatment resume their daily activities immediately after their visit, making it a convenient option for busy patients.
- Versatility. Microneedling is extremely effective in treating a wide range of facial scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. This versatility makes it popular for those looking to address multiple types of facial scarring.
- Stimulates collagen production. The tiny needles used in micro needling create highly controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response and stimulate collagen production. This ultimately improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of scars over time.
- Customizable treatment plans. Each person’s skin and scarring are unique, so our dedicated team at Houston Dermatology Associates creates customized treatment plans for each patient. This ensures that every individual receives the best possible results for their needs.
- Long-lasting results. Multiple treatments are recommended for the most optimal results, and microneedling improves the appearance of facial scars. This means fewer maintenance treatments are needed compared to other procedures, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.
- Improved skin tone and texture. In addition to reducing the appearance of noticeable scars, microneedling can also improve overall skin tone and texture. It also reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores for a youthful appearance.
- Safe for all skin types. Microneedling is considered safe for patients of all skin types and tones. Unlike other procedures with limitations based on skin color or ethnicity, microneedling can be safely performed on anyone.
- Non-invasive. Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any incisions or injections. This makes it a popular choice for those who want to improve their skin without surgery.
- Natural-looking results. With microneedling, the results are gradual and natural-looking, avoiding the “overdone” look that can occur with other procedures. This allows patients to feel confident in their appearance while still looking like themselves.
