Microneedling in Southlake

To set your skin up for long-term success from microneedling, we recommend that you:

• Avoid tanning, both outside and in a tanning bed, and self-tanners for 2 weeks.
• Do not use blood-thinning medications for 3 to 7 days, or as directed.
• If needed, shave the treatment area the night before.
• Inform your provider of recent skin treatments, allergies, or active skin conditions.
• Stay hydrated and eat a light meal on the day of treatment.
• Stop using retinoids, glycolic or salicylic acids, and exfoliants 5 days beforehand.

If you have an active cold sore, infection, or open lesion, please reschedule your appointment.

We’re invested in your confidence during treatment—not just in your results. During your consultation for microneedling, we’ll walk you through specific pre-care instructions based on your treatment plan.

Immediately after receiving microneedling in Southlake, it’s normal for your skin to appear slightly red or swollen and feel warm, tight, or sensitive—similar to a mild sunburn. You may also notice pinpoint bleeding in the treatment area, but this typically resolves within 48 hours.

Do not wash your face for at least 6 hours after your treatment. After that, use the gentle cleanser and hydrating skincare products your provider recommends. Apply SPF 30 or higher daily to avoid sun damage, which can interfere with healing.

During the first 24 hours, avoid touching, rubbing, or applying makeup to the treated area. To give your skin time to heal, you should also refrain from strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, steam, and excessive sun exposure. If your skin begins to peel in some areas, do not pick at it. Allow your body to shed damaged cells naturally.

After a week, you can resume your regular skincare routine unless otherwise instructed. However, your provider may recommend waiting another week to schedule professional skin treatments, such as facials or chemical peels. You’ll begin to see and feel improvements over the following 4 to 6 weeks, improving as collagen rebuilds.

Yes! Microneedling dramatically improves absorption, making topical skincare products more effective. By creating tiny channels into your skin’s deeper layers, microneedling clears the path for active ingredients to penetrate deeper, furthering their impact.

Depending on your goals, we may recommend including topical treatments in your microneedling treatments. For example, microneedling with exosomes or PDGF—both of which are rich in natural growth factors—provides an extra collagen boost and streamlines healing.

At The Aesthetics Society, microneedling isn’t just about repair. It’s about unlocking your skin’s full potential.
