How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works by using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to smooth out wrinkles, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of scars.

Is microneedling safe for everyone?
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create a series of tiny, controlled punctures in the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries are designed to trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over time. As those two proteins rebuild beneath the surface, the skin gradually appears firmer, smoother, and more even in tone and texture. Many individuals seek microneedling to address early signs of aging, rough or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, or scars that haven’t responded to topical products alone. The treatment itself is typically well-tolerated and completed in under an hour, especially when numbing cream is applied beforehand. Some individuals choose to pair microneedling with topical solutions like PRP or vitamin serums to help those ingredients absorb more effectively into deeper layers of the skin. While the results take a little time to develop, the outcome tends to look and feel natural as collagen production improves gradually. It’s a method chosen by those looking to restore the skin’s resilience without invasive procedures or extended recovery times.
Because microneedling opens up microchannels in the skin, the treatment is commonly paired with complementary therapies that work best when delivered past the skin’s surface. Options like platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid-based serums are often used immediately afterward, taking advantage of the skin’s heightened receptivity. When done properly, these combinations can enhance the glow, hydration, and firmness that microneedling alone sets into motion. The pairing is most often selected by individuals looking for added nourishment or quicker results from the same treatment window. The providers at Rejuvenate Frisco Medspa & Wellness may recommend specific combinations depending on the individual’s skin condition and response to treatment. Some serums are chosen to brighten dullness or soften fine lines, while others may focus more on calming inflammation or helping with post-acne scarring. The goal with any pairing is to ensure the skin continues to improve even after the appointment is over, with a more noticeable effect in tone, hydration, or elasticity in the weeks that follow.
The number of microneedling sessions required often comes down to what the individual hopes to achieve and how the skin responds. While subtle improvements may appear after just one appointment, most individuals benefit from a series of treatments spread several weeks apart. This allows for gradual collagen buildup and time for the skin to regenerate between visits. In many cases, a series of four to six sessions is recommended to fully address concerns like scarring or visible sun damage. Spacing treatments about a month apart allows each round of healing to build on the last, which is especially helpful for skin that has texture irregularities or deeper lines. After reaching the desired result, some patients continue with maintenance appointments every few months to preserve the improvement over time. The providers at Rejuvenate Frisco Medspa & Wellness tailor each plan to the individual, often adjusting based on how quickly collagen forms and how long the results are holding up between sessions.
Microneedling is generally safe for a wide range of skin tones and types, which is part of why it is such a popular option. The technique does not involve heat or chemical peeling agents, so the risk of pigment changes is low. That said, there are still certain situations where microneedling may need to be postponed or avoided altogether. Individuals with active breakouts, open wounds, or underlying skin infections may not be the right candidate until the skin barrier has fully healed. Those who have recently used strong prescription medications or who are undergoing cancer treatment, may be advised to wait. Pregnancy and nursing are also times when microneedling is typically delayed. During a consultation, providers at Rejuvenate Frisco Medspa & Wellness can assess the skin’s condition and any relevant health history to determine whether microneedling is a good match and if any precautions need to be taken before moving forward.
