Microneedling & PRP in Mansfield, TX
Professional, minimally invasive microneedling procedures in Dallas-Fort Worth for glowing skin
What is microneedling (SkinPen)?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin to produce more collagen. From the pinprick, the cells are stimulated to produce more collagen for a more youthful skin rejuvenation, taking years off your face. The treatment is to generate new collagen to create a smoother, tighter, brighter glowing skin. Microneedling also treats scars, wrinkles, and large pores.
Very safe, with essentially no down time.
We apply a topical numbing cream 30 minutes prior to your appointment to help minimize any discomfort during the treatment itself. After the treatment you will feel like you have a sunburn, which will subside over the next few hours.
An hour to an hour and a half depending on the area on the body and size.
Common side effects are minor skin irritation, and redness. Recovery time is minimal and you will see the effects within a couple of weeks.
Platelet Rich Plasma. We draw your blood, spin it down to extract the plasma, and give it back to you on your face after the microneedling. This promotes stem cells to grow new collagen. We can also inject it on your scalp for new hair growth. PRP is not necessary for microneedling, but an additive bonus.

The Basics of Microneedling
A microneedling procedure involves penetrating your skin with precision needles to induce collagen development. This minimally invasive procedure signals your body to begin a healing process underneath the top layer.
The process stimulates more collagen and elastin production in areas where you’ve been treated. Collagen provides firmness, while elastin helps tissues have stretch and the ability to “snap-back”.
Microneedling in Mansfield, TX, can help give your skin a smoother and more even-toned appearance. This procedure has proven effective across different skin types, textures, and skin irregularities.
How the Microneedling Process Works
Our highly experienced staff will meet with you to discuss your concerns, skincare goals, and develop a customized treatment plan. We discuss any current medical treatment you’re receiving and if right now is a good time for microneedling. We won’t recommend the procedure if it presents an undue danger to your health.
When your appointment day arrives, arrive with clean skin of all cosmetics to avoid potential infections and skin irritation. We then apply topical lidocaine to ensure your comfort during the session.
Our professionals typically take between 30 minutes to 1 hour for each microneedling session, depending on your needs. Complete treatment usually takes four to six sessions, each occurring about 4-6 weeks to allow your skin to heal and continue collagen/elastin production steadily. As you heal, you naturally shed old cells and begin to see smoother, healthier skin. We can also apply healing and collagen-enhancing products to treated areas to expedite the process.
Our Microneedling Equipment
SkinPen
Our team uses FDA cleared SkinPen to create hundreds of thousands micro wounds to safely and effectively treat areas of concern. Some of these areas may include crows feet around the eyes, smile lines, creases around the upper lip, and acne/surgical scars. You can also treat neck and chest lines.
Radio Frequency Machines
In addition to SkinPen, we also use a radio frequency (RF) microneedling machine called Legend Pro. The Legend Pro needles release energy waves to damage the deep dermis with heat stimulating new fibers, providing lift to the skin. In addition, the Legend Pro can prove effective on large and small areas of the face and body faster than other treatment options.
This treatment can be performed in addition or in combination with laser treatments. If preferred, we can use the Legend Pro in place of other laser treatments, which we can discuss during your consultation.
We use FDA-approved equipment to provide the most comfortable and best possible service. Our licensed technicians are specially trained to use SkinPen and RF machines and provide in-depth consultations on your skin improvement goals.
Our team disinfects and sanitizes our tools after each use to prevent the spread of any bacteria or infections. Your health comes first, and the anti-aging effects come naturally.
PRP Injections
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. The plasma contains platelet proteins and other growth factors from your body that promote new healthy cells and healing. This optional procedure can assist with the skin rejuvenation process.
To obtain this plasma, we take pull blood from an arm of your preference. Then, we spin the blood in a centrifuge to separate plasma from other blood content. After, we inject or microneedle the plasma into treatment areas.
We combine these tools and methods to take years off your skin and rejuvenate your appearance.
Post-Treatment Care and Potential Side Effects
After treatment, you should take extra care of your skin and practice good skin care habits. During the first week of recovery, avoid activities that make you sweat and sun exposure. Stay hydrated to provide your cells with the water they need to multiply and heal.
Your skin is in a vulnerable state after microneedling, so don’t use skin care products with AHAs, BHAs or retinol since they can aggravate your skin and cause pre-mature peeling. Instead, Nectar from Alastin is a great option for healing. Cooling masks without fragrance with calming ingredients. We offer exosomes as another option for pre-treating the skin before and after. This product is 5 days of AM/PM pre-serum and 5 days of AM/PM post-serum. Exosomes are plant based growth factors that improve the efficacy and dramatically increased healing time.
As with any cosmetic procedure, you may experience some side effects from microneedling. This minimally invasive treatment only carries minor risks, like skin irritation, redness, and peeling. These effects should resolve after a few days.
However, call us if you experience the following so we can give you immediate care:
• Bruising
• Bleeding
• Substantial peeling
• Skin infection
Risk Factors That May Affect Treatment
During the consultation, we review your medical history to ensure this treatment is not a risk to your overall health. Some medications, health or skin contraindications we look out for include the following:
• Eczema
• Diabetes
• Active acne
• A weakened immune system
• Clotting or bleeding disorders
• Allergies to numbing medications

Legend Pro: Radio Frequency Microneedling

The Legend Pro can be used on small areas like the face and neck but can also treat large areas such as Stomachs or arms to treat skin laxity. It uses fine microneedles which penetrate the skin, then releases radio frequency allowing for allowing for more production of collagen and elastin which will lift and tighten and appear rejuvenated and youthful.
The LegendPro microneedling takes 4-6 treatments to achieve maximum results, depending on the severity of damage to the skin. This procedure is relatively painless. However, we will use a topical lidocaine for comfort. Very minimal downtime which include mild skin irritation, redness, and some minor bleeding.
