Microneedling is a proven dermatologic treatment that helps improve skin quality by encouraging your body’s natural healing process. At Northstar Dermatology, we offer microneedling in Keller for patients looking to reduce the appearance of scars, refine texture, and address early signs of aging—without the need for lasers or aggressive procedures. Every treatment is performed in a clinical setting by trained dermatology professionals, ensuring both safety and results.
Microneedling works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries across the skin’s surface using a handheld device with fine, sterile needles. These small channels stimulate collagen and elastin production—proteins essential for youthful, resilient skin. To ensure patient comfort, we apply a medical-grade topical anesthetic before the procedure begins. Most sessions last under an hour and require little downtime, making it a practical solution for busy individuals.
Ideal for Treating:
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and types, and our team will tailor each session to match your skin’s condition and goals.
Microneedling performed in a dermatology clinic reaches deeper skin layers than cosmetic rollers or spa-grade tools, offering better outcomes for complex skin issues. At Northstar Dermatology, we use single-use, sterile cartridges with precision-controlled depth to target the dermis where collagen is formed. The result is a more effective treatment with significantly reduced risk of complications like infection, inflammation, or scarring.
At-home microneedling kits are widely available, but they come with considerable risks. Without sterile equipment, proper technique, or medical oversight, users can cause skin tears, introduce bacteria, or worsen existing conditions. Our Keller team emphasizes that professional microneedling is the only way to ensure a safe, hygienic experience that delivers meaningful results. The convenience of home treatment does not outweigh the risks involved.
Mild redness, warmth, or swelling is common for the first 24–48 hours post-treatment, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients resume normal activities quickly, and improvements in tone and texture begin appearing within one to two weeks. As collagen production continues, your skin will gradually become smoother, tighter, and more evenly toned. Multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended depending on your skin’s needs.
