What is Microneedling?
How Does Microneedling Work?
Types of Microneedling Treatments
Traditional Microneedling
This classic approach uses a mechanical device with fine needles to trigger natural skin renewal. It’s ideal for those seeking to address mild texture issues, fine lines, or early signs of aging.
RF Microneedling (Radio Frequency)
RF microneedling integrates gentle radiofrequency energy with traditional microneedling. The addition of RF energy penetrates deeper into the skin, tightening tissue and delivering enhanced results for wrinkles, laxity, and stubborn scars.
Microneedling with PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) involves using a component of your own blood, rich in growth factors, to boost healing and amplify results. PRP is applied to the skin during or after microneedling, accelerating recovery and maximizing collagen induction.
Benefits of Microneedling

Preparing for Your Microneedling Appointment
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and explain the microneedling options for you.
To prepare before treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliating agents for several days prior.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
- Inform your provider of any active skin conditions or recent treatments.
The Microneedling Procedure: What to Expect
After cleansing your skin, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then passed over targeted areas, creating thousands of micro-channels. The process typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the type of microneedling selected. Most sessions last under an hour. Multiple treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
Bellus Medical Arts prioritizes your comfort, offering advanced numbing techniques and tailored aftercare instructions for a smooth experience.
Recovery and Aftercare
Expect mild redness and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn. Your provider will apply a soothing serum or mask to support healing. Most redness subsides within 24–72 hours. Minimal flaking or dryness may occur as your skin renews itself. You’ll begin to see improvement within a week, with optimal results developing over several weeks as new collagen forms.
After microneedling:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours.
- Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, and makeup for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Cost of Microneedling in McKinney, TX

Packages for multiple treatments often offer savings per session.
