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.

I had my breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Girardot on June 8th, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From my very first consultation to my post-op appointments, Dr. Girardot made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made the entire process feel so much less stressful.Her entire team is absolutely amazing everyone is kind, welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. I always felt supported every step of the way.I am so grateful I chose Dr. Girardot. If I ever decide to have another procedure in the future, there is no question where I’ll be going. I highly recommend Dr. Girardot and her incredible team to anyone considering plastic surgery. Thank you all for making this such a wonderful experience!
I’m five months post-op and could not be happier with my results! I had a breast lift with implant exchange using Dr. Watt’s internal bra technique, and choosing him was truly the best decision.I had my previous implants for 11 years and wanted them replaced, but my goal was to keep the same size — just lifted, refreshed, and very natural-looking. Dr. Watt listened to exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed it.The entire process takes patience, and you really do have to trust the process. It took almost five months to see my final results and how everything settled, but they turned out perfect. They are exactly what I hoped for, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so thankful I chose Dr. Watt!
I went to Dr.Watt for a breast augmentation and was so impressed with everything from the consultation to the procedure to the final result! Everyone was so patient, kind, and took the time to really understand what results you were looking for. Dr.Watt and his staff are amazing. I highly recommend Watt plastic surgery!
Dr. Watt and his staff are wonderful! I love how smooth the process was to get in and out of the surgery center. Dr Watt did an amazing job on my implant exchange! I am very happy with my results
I cannot recommend Dr.Watt highly enough! From the very beginning, he was personable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The day before my breast augmentation and lift, he personally called me to answer any last-minute questions and make sure I didn't have any concerns, which meant so much and really helped put me at ease.The results exceeded my expectations—they came out absolutely perfect. His attention to detail and expertise are evident in his work. I also want to recognize his incredible staff, who worked extremely hard to fit me into a very tight scheduling window. Their dedication, responsiveness, and support made the entire experience seamless.I am beyond happy with my results and grateful for the exceptional care I received from both the surgeon and his team.

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.
