SkinPen Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is the newest star in aesthetic skin rejuvenation medicine. This breakthrough remedy works magic for all types of skin imperfections, and it’s available right here at Rénove Medical Spa.
Unlike other aesthetic medical treatments, microneedling is non-invasive and does not inject unnatural substances into the body.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling services enhance the skin’s natural repair processes, prompting your skin to restore itself and soften the appearance of wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tones.
How does microneedling work?
The microneedling procedure works by creating hundreds of “micro-injuries” or “micro-channels” in the skin using a microneedling pen, a device that incorporates groups of tiny needles.
As these micro-injuries begin to heal, they boost the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in clearer, younger-looking skin that is less prone to aging.
This has also made microneedling for acne scars a popular treatment at our Kingwood clinic for patients who want clearer skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
If you want fresh, flawless, youthful skin and a healthy, glowing complexion for your face, you no longer need to go under the knife.
Microneedling in Kingwood has become a sought-after procedure because it’s part of a new generation of non-invasive aesthetic treatments yielding powerful results.
While the results speak for themselves, here are a few more advantages of Rénove Medical Spa’s SkinPen microneedling treatments:
Natural Healing
Microneedling works to kick-start the body’s own natural healing process in targeted areas. The resulting skin, plumped up by its own collagen and elastin, is naturally beautiful!
Non-Invasive and Virtually Painless
One of the benefits of microneedling is that the microneedles are so tiny that they can even be used around the tender eye area. If you have a fear of needles, there’s no need to worry. The technician will apply a topical cream beforehand to anesthetize the area. Patients have claimed that it feels similar to sandpaper gently moving across the area.
A microneedling session at our Kingwood clinic typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. At Rénove Medical Spa, our microneedling services are performed with your comfort as a priority, ensuring that we work at a pace that’s right for you and causes minimal pain.
Effective Anti-Aging Treatment
Microneedling is a popular anti-aging treatment in Kingwood since its collagen induction not only reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but also works wonders for tightening loose skin! The before and after results from microneedling are nothing short of a transformative youthful glow, helping patients feel invigorated and more confident in their skin.
Improved Skin Texture
Since microneedling stimulates the production of collagen, it improves skin texture to a subtle yet noticeable degree. From uneven bumps due to acne scarring to fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging, this treatment can help address these concerns.
Reversal of Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation
At our Kingwood clinic, the SkinPen microneedling treatment offers impactful before-and-after results. It’s a highly effective procedure for reducing visible sun damage and is useful for treating skin discoloration of melasma and evening out skin tone. Patients who love spending time outdoors absolutely adore it!
Reduction & Treatment of Acne Scars
Reminders of pesky acne problems are a thing of the past. Another benefit of microneedling’s natural “collagen filler effects” is that they help reduce the appearance of acne scars and shrink pores. It is a useful treatment to break down old scar tissue, and can help fill in indented scars to make them seem less noticeable.
Improves Efficacy of Skincare Products
Once you undergo microneedling at our Kingwood clinic, you’ll also begin to notice that skin care products such as topical gels, serums, and creams tend to get absorbed in a much more effective way. That’s because microneedling improves your skin’s ability to absorb products and allows them to penetrate deeper.
Safe for All Skin Tones & Body Parts
Our microneedling services in Kingwood are safe for all ages and skin tones. Microneedling can also benefit all parts of the body—not just the face—and is an excellent treatment for the reduction of scars and stretch marks anywhere on the body.
Can Be Combined With Other Treatments for Maximum Results
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Naqvi may recommend combining other treatments, such as PRP/PRF facials, with SkinPen Microneedling to produce the most optimal before and after results!

FAQs
Who should avoid microneedling?
Microneedling is usually considered safe for most, but it is not recommended for the following cases:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with active sores or skin infections
- People with conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, or eczema
- Individuals with keloid scars
- Those on medications such as Accutane or blood thinners
During your initial consultation, Dr. Naqvi will review your medical history and determine whether you are an ideal candidate for microneedling at our Kingwood clinic.
Is microneedling painful?
When done correctly, microneedling doesn’t cause significant pain or discomfort. Mild pain is possible but is generally tolerable. The sensation is usually described as a scratching or mild pricking sensation.
While all procedures at Rénove Medical Spa are performed by certified experts who work to maximize your comfort, you can request a topical numbing cream to minimize sensation during the procedure.
Are there any side effects of microneedling?
When weighed against the benefits, the side effects of microneedling are usually mild and temporary. They can include redness, irritation, swelling, dryness, and minor bruising. If you are worried about the side effects or have sensitive skin, Dr. Naqvi can put your mind at ease by walking you through all the details of the microneedling procedure at our Kingwood clinic.
Is there anything I shouldn’t do after microneedling treatment?
It is important to avoid specific activities and environments after microneedling to protect the skin and promote healing:
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Avoid activities that will make you sweat
- Don’t use harsh/strong skincare products (especially any that have AHA/BHA/PHA in them)
- Avoid wearing makeup
- Don’t touch your skin excessively
When can I see results after microneedling?
Initial results can usually be seen within two weeks of receiving microneedling services at our Kingwood clinic; you may notice your skin becoming smoother and more radiant.
For significant improvements in skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, or pigmentation on your face and body, multiple microneedling sessions are usually required. The most noticeable benefits of microneedling are visible after 4-6 weeks.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results from your microneedling session can last from 3 to 6 months. But with a few maintenance treatments and proper aftercare, this before-and-after transformation from microneedling can also extend up to a year or even more.
Does microneedling help with acne scars?
Microneedling can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars. Patients undergoing microneedling at our Kingwood med spa regularly opt for this treatment for this purpose.
Can microneedling help rosacea?
Yes, microneedling can help control the appearance of rosacea by reducing redness and inflammation.
What’s the Difference Between Microneedling vs. Laser Treatment?
Microneedling uses smaller, finer needles to create micro-injuries that boost collagen production. On the other hand, laser therapy involves using light energy for similar concerns.
Whether you visit our Kingwood med spa for microneedling or laser resurfacing, Dr. Naqvi can advise you on which treatment is best for your needs.
The benefit of microneedling is that it offers more subtle results and is a less invasive procedure. On the other hand, laser skin resurfacing involves a longer downtime and recovery period. With laser therapy, there is also a higher risk of pigmentation for darker skin tones.
Are microneedling results permanent?
In some cases, the results from microneedling can last a lifetime. But in most cases, maintenance procedures are required after 3 to 6 months.
