Smooth, Firm, and Renew Your Skin
SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that revitalizes the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries with fine, sterile needles. These precise punctures trigger your body’s natural healing response to stimulate collagen and elastin production, increase blood flow, and promote new, healthy tissue growth. The result is smoother, firmer, more vibrant skin over time.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of concerns, including signs of aging, sun damage, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. It’s often called “collagen induction therapy” because it restores what time and environmental stressors have depleted.

Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure the procedure is comfortable. Most patients report feeling only a slight vibration or light pressure. It is generally very well-tolerated, even for those with sensitive skin.
How long does microneedling take to heal?
The initial healing phase for microneedling is quite fast, usually lasting about a week. Most patients experience mild redness for 24–48 hours, and your skin may feel slightly dry or tight for a few days. By the end of the week, your skin typically starts looking smoother and more radiant.
When will I see my final microneedling results?
While your skin surface heals within a week, the magic of microneedling happens deep within the skin. The collagen and elastin production stimulated by the treatment takes time. You will begin to see more substantial improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone around four to six weeks post-treatment, with results continuing to develop for several months.
How often should you microneedle?
The optimal treatment schedule for you will depend on your unique skin and aesthetic goals. For best results, a series of three to six microneedling sessions every four to six weeks is often recommended. Once desired results are achieved, maintenance treatments may be advised every few months to help sustain collagen growth and keep your skin glowing.
How many microneedling sessions will I need for acne scars?
The recommended number of microneedling sessions for acne scars depends on the depth and severity of the scarring. Patients treating acne scars often see visible improvement after three to six sessions. Consistency is key—each session builds on the last to gradually remodel the skin.
Does microneedling tighten skin?
Yes. By stimulating new collagen and elastin production, microneedling gradually improves firmness and elasticity, helping to subtly tighten and lift the skin over time.
How long do microneedling results last?
The collagen and elastin your body produces are permanent. However, the natural aging process continues. With a completed initial series and proper skincare, results can last for many months. We typically recommend maintenance treatments once or twice a year to help preserve your results and continue to fight signs of aging.
How much does microneedling cost?
The cost of microneedling in Houston depends on the size of the area treated, the number of sessions recommended, and whether you combine it with other treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. During your complimentary consultation, our team will provide clear pricing information for your customized treatment plan.
For your convenience, we also partner with Cherry to offer flexible payment plans, making it easier to invest in your skin.
The Microneedling Procedure
To begin your SkinPen microneedling session at Glow, your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. After the numbing takes effect, your provider will begin the treatment. The active procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Your provider will use the SkinPen device to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin surface. This prompts natural repair processes, including collagen formation. Most patients describe feeling sensations of mild pressure or vibration but do not consider the treatment to be painful.
What to Expect After SkinPen Microneedling
Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear flushed or feel slightly tight—similar to a light sunburn. This usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities the next day, though it’s best to avoid makeup, intense workouts, and direct sun exposure for a short period of time as the treated skin heals.
Within a week, as initial healing resolves, an early "glow" and smoother texture may become noticeable. More significant improvements will continue to develop over the next several months as your body produces new collagen. Depending on your goals, we may recommend a series of three to six sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, for optimal outcomes.
