Contact UsWhat is Microneedling?
For skincare concerns, including fine lines, laxity, and other signs of premature aging, microneedling is an effective, minimally-invasive treatment option. Also called collagen induction therapy, microneedling works to heal your skin from beneath the surface for a smoother, healthier complexion.
How does Microneedling work?
Fine needles make minuscule punctures in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, helping to create new skin cells that can replace dull, damaged skin cells.
Naturally-occurring collagen in the body decreases as people age, leading to a loss of volume and firmness in the skin. Microneedling combats that issue by stimulating collagen production in the skin. As your skin produces more collagen, your complexion will appear healthier and uniform in tone and texture.
After a treatment, you’ll notice immediate improvement in your skin's appearance. However, as it takes time for collagen and new skin cells to develop, the results will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the best results around three to four weeks after treatment. Results will also continue to improve with each additional session.
Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Dr. ALEXANDRA GIRARDOT, D.O. Was amazing along with the staff… through all my set backs… I couldn’t be happier.
Best of the best! I had surgery with Dr. Watt, Dr. G did my earlobe repair & I am thrilled with my results. The staff from the second you walk in to when you leave is exceptional. 10/10 recommend to anybody.
Watt Plastic Surgery is the best! During my consult, surgery, and follow up appointments the whole team was very caring and informative! Between researching all the plastic surgeons in the greater Tampa Bay area and my actual care/results I know I was in the best hands! Thank you Dr. Watt and team!
I have been to Watt Plastic surgery for a number of different things and all my experiences with the providers have been amazing. Dr. Watt did my breast augmentation and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. He listened to all my concerns and made sure we were both on the same page throughout the entire process! I also went to Jaime for lip filler and she gave me the exact natural results I was looking for! Jaime also recommended I see Alicia for a Moxi treatment for some scars I had and after 2 treatments my skin is looking brand new! I am so thankful for the team at Watt Plastic Surgery for making me look and feel my best :)
I'm a WPS girl forever! It's my one-stop shop for all things beauty. I had a breast lift and scar revision with Dr. Watt, and now I exclusively go to his office for Botox, Sculptra, filler, and laser hair removal. From the moment I walked into the office for my surgery, I felt like I was already part of the family. Dr. Watt and his incredible staff made me feel so comfortable and cared for every step of the way.I also see Jess for all things face--I've been going to her for six years now! She's amazing, conservative, and always knows exactly what I need to achieve a natural, refreshed look. For laser hair removal, I see Yolanda, who is equally incredible. She makes me feel so comfortable, and we just chat about life during my appointments.After three horrible experiences elsewhere, I had lost hope--until I found Dr. Watt and his team. I am forever grateful for them. He changed my life, and I finally love my breasts again. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my beauty needs. I wish you could give more than 5 stars in a review!

About UsMicroneedling FAQs
How much does microneedling cost?
During your consultation, we will perform a skin analysis and develop your custom treatment plan. We will then discuss your treatment costs and what to expect during the procedure. Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa often offers specials on treatment packages, so be sure to ask about our current deals during your consultation.
What exactly is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure to improve the health of your skin. Collagen helps keep your skin supple, smooth, and firm. Eventually, your natural stores of collagen are depleted, and your skin becomes thin and less elastic. Microneedling creates small skin wounds. These micro-injuries cause your skin to increase its collagen production and generate new skin cell growth. Once healed, your complexion appears brighter, firmer, and healthier.
Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
During microneedling, channels are made that help other treatments penetrate the deeper layers. This is why microneedling is commonly done with other skin treatments, such as vitamin-rich serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma). During your consultation, we can discuss what treatments can help enhance your microneedling and which would most benefit your skin.
How many treatments are recommended for optimal results?
Most patients need 3 – 6 microneedling treatments to see optimal results. Although, how many treatments you need will vary based on your skin's condition and your goals. Microneedling can be safely performed every 4 – 6 weeks as needed. During your initial consultation, we can estimate the number of treatments you need based on your skin and goals. When you have reached your goal, getting touch-up therapies twice a year is recommended.
Is microneedling safe for everyone?
For the most part, microneedling is appropriate for all skin tones and types. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor there are rarely side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be performed on most areas of skin, including the face, arms, neck, chest, and legs. Microneedling is not recommended if you've taken Accutane recently, plus if you have an active skin infection, herpes simplex, or open wound. In addition, you might not be a candidate for microneedling if you're pregnant, nursing, or getting radiation treatments.
