Unlock Your Skin's Potential with Microneedling

Microneedling is a facial non-surgical procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This rejuvenation technique helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, while improving skin texture and firmness. Safe for most skin types, microneedling delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime, making it an effective solution for achieving smoother, more youthful skin. Microneedling is often used with various growth serums for optimal results.

Common Concerns Treated by Facial Microneedling

Dr. Bader treats patients across Plano, Frisco and Dallas with expert care and customized treatments to achieve your specific goals. Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that promotes smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin while effectively targeting common skin concerns like:

Acne Scars

Microneedling helps break down scar tissue and stimulates collagen production, which can smooth out the skin's surface and reduce the appearance of acne scars, leaving the skin more even and textured over time.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By promoting collagen and elastin production, microneedling reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to firmer, smoother skin with improved elasticity and texture.

Uneven Skin Texture

Microneedling tightens the skin and boosts collagen, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. This helps achieve smoother, more refined skin texture with a more polished, even finish.

Hyperpigmentation

Microneedling can reduce discoloration caused by sun damage or melasma by encouraging skin turnover and even melanin distribution, helping to fade dark spots and create a more uniform skin tone.

Types of Microneedling

There are different types of microneedling, each designed to address specific skin concerns or provide varying depths of treatment.

Traditional Microneedling (Dermaroller/Dermapens)

This is the standard form of microneedling using a dermaroller or a dermapen. The device contains fine needles that create micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

This combines traditional microneedling with PRP, where the patient's blood is drawn, processed to extract plasma, and applied to the skin. This boosts healing and enhances the treatment's effects.

Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling)

This technique combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles deliver RF energy deep into the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening. It's often used for more significant skin laxity or deep wrinkles.

Hybrid Microneedling

A combination of microneedling with other treatments like mesotherapy or serum infusion. It aims to treat a wide range of skin concerns while delivering active ingredients deep into the skin.

Microneedling Treatment in Plano & Dallas

Microneedling typically takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the area treated. A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort, so the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Downtime is minimal, with redness and mild swelling lasting 1-3 days.

Initial Consultation with Dr. Bader

During your initial consultation with Dr. Bader, he'll assess your aesthetic goals, discuss treatment options, and create a personalized plan to ensure natural, long-lasting results tailored to your unique needs.

Preparation for your Microneedling procedure

Before microneedling, Dr. Bader recommends avoiding retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, stay hydrated, and manage any active skin conditions for optimal results and safety.

Microneedling treatment

On the day of your microneedling treatment, Dr. Bader will cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream for comfort. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn. Post-treatment instructions will be provided, including skincare recommendations and guidance on managing any temporary discomfort.

Follow-Up Appointments

Dr. Bader recommends follow-up appointments to monitor your skin’s progress and ensure optimal healing. These sessions allow him to assess results, address any concerns, and discuss additional treatments if needed for enhanced outcomes. Regular check-ins help maintain long-lasting results and ensure your skin is recovering properly.

Social Readiness

After microneedling, most patients feel comfortable resuming social activities within 1-3 days once redness and swelling subside. However, it’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours and direct sun exposure for a few days.

Microneedling Patient Testimonials

Read All Reviews

So pleased with my revision. I spent 2 years observing the results and researching doctors across the US and Europe, and chose him. My advice: Choose a doctor that always shows each angle of his finished noses. Don't choose doctors that show anything less! Pay attention to lighting in the photos too. Choose a doctor who specializes in noses. They are intricate and important not only to your aesthetics but also your breathing. Don't compromise your beauty or your breathing with a good doctor. Save / wait for a great doctor. Dr. Bader and his staff exceeded every expectation. My surgery and aftercare were professional and seamless. I would recommend him to anyone who is having a primary or revision. It was the best decision I've ever made.

Went yesterday for a revision rhinoplasty consultation. Excellent experience! The staff was all very friendly & helpful. Amanda has been a joy to work with during the entire process. I researched several doctors over the past maybe 6-8 months before scheduling my consultation with Dr. Bader. Very excited to have a revision done in the future by him!

Dr. Bader changed my life!! For the better! I was so insecure and sad with my previous results with a Dr in Mexico(crooked, upturned, ect). I honestly didn't think anyone could make it better until i found him. At consultation he explained how he could improve it and was very honest about it, and his staff was very friendly and they made you feel comfortable. I always feel like Drs rush and dont hear you out completely, but it was different here. I made sure to explain all my questions and concerns so many times and they heard me out, explained the whole process and made me feel like i was in the best hands! My results are exactly what i wanted!

Am I A Good Candidate For Microneedling?

Good candidates for microneedling are individuals with mild to moderate skin concerns, such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles or hyperpigmentation. It's ideal for those looking for a non-invasive treatment to improve skin texture and tone. Ideal candidates typically have:

Acne scars or other mild-to-moderate scarring.
Fine lines, wrinkles, or early signs of aging.
A desire to improve skin texture, tone, or firmness.
Hyperpigmentation or sun damage.

Microneedling isn't suitable for individuals with active acne, skin infections, eczema, or psoriasis. It should also be avoided by those prone to keloid scars, pregnant or breastfeeding, or with conditions impairing healing, like uncontrolled diabetes.

Microneedling Risks

Microneedling is generally safe, but potential risks include:

Redness, swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort resembling a sunburn.
Infection, while rare, it is possible if post-treatment care isn’t followed.
Increased sensitivity, dryness, or flaking as the skin heals.
Discoloration of your skin tone, especially if sun exposure occurs during healing.

These risks are significantly reduced when you choose an experienced, board-certified skin expert like Dr. Bader.

Microneedling Recovery

Microneedling recovery is quick, with most redness and swelling subsiding within 1-3 days. Your skin may feel tender, tight, or slightly flaky as it heals. Avoid makeup and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours, and follow Dr. Bader's post-treatment instructions. Results improve over weeks as collagen production increases, revealing smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.

Enhance your results by combining microneedling with other treatments.

To achieve quicker, more advanced results, consider incorporating these procedures into your skin rejuvenation plan.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves using your own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then applied to the skin to accelerate healing and stimulate collagen production for enhanced rejuvenation.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper layers of skin, stimulating collagen production, tightening tissue, and improving skin texture for more dramatic anti-aging and rejuvenation results.

Hydrafacial

A non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a specialized device. It combines gentle suction with hydrating serums to remove impurities, smooth skin, and improve overall tone, leaving the skin glowing and refreshed.
