Microneedling
Renew Your Skin Under the Care of Dr. Bonnor
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that improves skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Using ultra-fine needles, the procedure creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface — prompting the body's natural healing response and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen plays a vital role in maintaining smooth, firm, and youthful-looking skin. As collagen levels decline with age, the skin may develop fine lines, uneven texture, and visible scarring. Microneedling encourages the skin to regenerate by activating natural repair mechanisms.
Microneedling treatments at Texas Aesthetics and Bariatrics are performed in a clinical environment with guidance from Dr. Bonnor. This procedure helps address several skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, visible pores, and uneven texture. The results develop progressively because microneedling stimulates the body’s natural collagen-building process.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling triggers a targeted healing response deep within the skin. The microscopic channels created during treatment activate fibroblasts — the specialized cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
As the skin undergoes its natural repair process, newly formed collagen fibers reinforce the skin's structure. Over a series of treatments, patients typically experience:
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: as skin becomes firmer and more resilient.
• Smoother acne scars: through remodeling of scar tissue beneath the surface.
• Improved skin tone and texture: for a more even, refreshed complexion.
• Enhanced product absorption: as temporary microchannels allow topical serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply, amplifying their effectiveness.
Recovery is typically minimal. Most patients experience only mild redness following treatment, which resolves quickly — allowing you to return to your routine within 24 hours.
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid vs. Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that binds moisture to the skin. When applied immediately following microneedling, the temporary microchannels created during treatment allow the HA serum to absorb far deeper than it ever could through topical application alone.
This combination is ideal for patients seeking:
• Deep skin hydration and plumping: restoring moisture to dry, dehydrated, or dull skin.
• Improved skin barrier function: strengthening the skin's ability to retain moisture over time.
• Immediate radiance: patients often notice a visible glow within 24–48 hours.
• Smoother surface texture: fine lines appear softened as skin is replenished with hydration.
Microneedling with HA is an excellent entry-level enhancement for patients new to aesthetic treatments, or for those who want consistent maintenance and a refreshed, glowing appearance.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP, sometimes called the "vampire facial," takes microneedling results to a deeper biological level. A small sample of the patient's own blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma — loaded with natural growth factors — is then applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, allowing it to penetrate deep through the open microchannels.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The growth factors in PRP actively signal the skin to repair and regenerate at a cellular level.
Microneedling with PRP is especially effective for:
• Moderate to severe acne scarring: growth factors accelerate the remodeling of scar tissue.
• Deeper wrinkles and skin laxity: PRP amplifies collagen stimulation beyond standard microneedling.
• Uneven skin tone and sun damage: cellular regeneration helps correct pigmentation irregularities.
• Hair restoration: PRP microneedling applied to the scalp can stimulate dormant follicles and reduce hair thinning.
Results from PRP microneedling develop gradually over 4–6 weeks and continue to improve with additional sessions, as the skin undergoes sustained collagen remodeling.
A Personalized Approach to Your Skin
Dr. Bonnor conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient's skin condition before recommending microneedling. Your skin type, treatment goals, and medical history all play a role in designing the right plan for you. For some patients, a series of sessions spaced appropriately apart yields the most significant and lasting improvement.
This individualized approach is what sets Texas Aesthetics and Bariatrics apart. Rather than offering a generic protocol, Dr. Bonnor tailors every treatment to the unique needs of each patient — ensuring both safety and natural-looking results.
