What 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.

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.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team. From my very first consultation, I felt truly heard, understood, and supported. The staff was kind, professional, and always available to answer my questions, which made the entire process so much easier.I had a breast lift, reduction, implants, and an internal mesh bra, and I honestly did not expect to love my results as much as I do. The outcome exceeded all of my expectations and has given me so much confidence.What surprised me most was how comfortable my recovery was—I had virtually no pain afterward. The care I received before, during, and after surgery was exceptional.I am beyond grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend them to anyone considering surgery. Thank you for such an amazing experience and life-changing results! ❤️

I was involved in a car accident(rear ended at a red light), and it caused my left implant to rupture. Prior to the accident, I wasn’t planning on having to have surgery since all was well.However, after the accident, I had pain and felt I looked disfigured in a way. I was quite scared and nervous, but then I found Dr. Watts practice.The consultation made me feel at ease, and I felt confident Dr. Watt could fix me. I booked my appointment, and the entire process was so smooth and comforting.The entire office staff, my anesthesiologist, nurses, and Dr. Watt made me look like I did before the accident. I highly recommend Dr. Watt and his fantastic staff. Thank you all for helping me!! Beautiful work, he deserves more than 5 stars.

The process at Dr. Watts office is so streamlined and simple, it almost felt too easy. My consultation and pre-op appointment were very quick and I was slightly nervous because I didn't spend much time with Dr.Watt prior to the surgery. All that said, I could not be happier with my results. Dr.Watt came highly recommended and he did a PHENOMENAL job. My pain was almost non-existent and I have a very low pain tolerance. Do not look any further if you want natural looking results and a highly skilled team. Dr.Watt is the best in Tampa - look no further!PS after surgery they provided discounted laser treatments for scars - really great pricing!Great value, great results, great quality!

About Us
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.
