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
At Watt Plastic Surgery the team is exceptional, I cannot recommend them enough! This was my first experience with an elective plastics procedure, and from the moment I stepped into the office for my first appointment with Dr. Girardot, there was no hesitation. I could not have asked for a better experience or surgeon. I cannot thank Dr. Girardot, Alex, and the rest of the team enough for making me feel supported throughout this journey with the best decision. I could not be happier with the outcome!
Dr. Girardot, Tori, and all of the nurses are amazing! They are actually so caring and thoughtful! Would recommend to anyone!
If I could leave 100 stars I would! I cannot recommend the PA-C Jaime enough! Jaime did my Botox a few weeks ago and I could not be more pleased! She is so talented and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your results! Thank you Jaime!!!
Watt Plastic Surgery, has been nothing short of an amazing experience. From start to finish Dr.Watts, and his incredible team have helped prepare me for Pre and Post Operative care. The staff at this facility are next level and are ready to help you have the most incredible experience. Any questions or concerns that I had were always answered promptly, and they helped get me whatever I was in need of to ensure my recovery was perfect. The After hours line for any questions that you may have were amazing as well. They were so quick to get into contact with me and that is something that is such a nice added benefit as well as all of the other amazing things that you can experience when choosing Dr.Watt and his incredible team. The facility is beautiful and is located in Tampa Bay. I highly recommend Dr.Watt and his team for an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Watt Plastic Surgery as your go-to destination for all your skincare needs. Recently, I had a Halo Laser treatment with the awesome Lisa, and my skin is absolutely glowing! Before I tell you about this, I want to share my other experiences at WPS that led me to this because, let's face it, aging gracefully is the goal, right? If good skin is the new silent luxury, then this is definitely the place to achieve it. I've been getting Botox injections from Meghan since I took advantage of a Black Friday special a few years ago, and she is literally the best. Meghan really listens and knows exactly how, where, and when you need it. At my last appointment, I asked her about my skin, and instead of pushing expensive fillers, she recommended the Halo treatment to boost collagen and improve the texture of my deep acne scars, along with overall aging. I love that she—and all the providers at WPS—are honest and truly care about your well-being, rather than just trying to sell products or services. So, I decided to go for it! A week before my Halo treatment, I met with Lisa, who was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable and experienced with lasers. At this appointment, Alicia also performed a chemical peel on me, and just three days later, my skin felt the best it ever had. Thank you, Alicia! The Halo is more intense than most other common laser treatments, and I felt confident having it done by Lisa, a nurse, with real plastic surgeons present in the office—another thing I love about Watt. I did encounter an issue a few days after the laser treatment when my skin reacted with an acne breakout on my chin during the healing process. However, Lisa was immediately there to diagnose and prescribe a treatment that quickly resolved the issue. Now, three weeks later, I’m thrilled with my results! My pores are smaller, and my deeper wrinkles and acne scars are already visibly more plumped. I’m excited to see how the results will continue to improve over the next few months as my collagen rebuilds. I'm so glad I did this. I've also had the luxury of trying Moxi/BBL and a Diamond Glow facial with the sweetest provider, Tori. These treatments worked wonders on my sunspots and overall skin health. Tori explained that my skincare routine is like my diet, and seeing her is like going to the gym—you can’t out-train a poor diet! The office uses top-of-the-line equipment and carries medical-grade skincare products, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all of it. I know this review is lengthy, so if you're still with me, thank you. Overall, I cannot recommend Watt Plastic Surgery enough. If you've ever considered trying something, just give them a call and schedule a free consultation. Their team is full of talented professionals who will connect you with the right provider. I live a fair distance from the practice, but the drive is absolutely worth it. Watt Plastic Surgery gives me peace of mind, knowing that I'll be treated by qualified professionals with the experience to ensure successful and effective treatments.

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.
