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
I was extremely pleased with Dr Watt and his wife Asia ! Asia was very kind to me on the phone and took extra time with me and Dr Watt was also amazing and took a lot of time with me . Dr Watt , Asia, Tiffany and Avery and alll of his staff were extremely professional and kind and caring and helpful ! Very pleased with my appointment. Thank you !
I cannot recommend Dr Watt and his team highly enough. I am now a year postop from my breast augmentation surgery and it has completely changed my life and given me the confidence I've always wanted for myself. Now I am a continued customer and go to Tori as my aesthetician and would highly recommend her to anyone as well. I also now see Jamie for all injections and can honestly say that Dr Watt has put together the most friendly, caring and intelligent team.
Dr. Watt approached my surgery in a way the made me feel comfortable and confident in the end result. I was able to get the support I needed pre & post-surgery. The OR and clinic staff were also fantastic. I’m one month out and already have stellar results from my breast revision. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Over 3 months post op and could not be happier!!! Cannot recommend Dr.Watt enough.
My experience was beyond my expectations at Watt Plastic Surgery. Dr. Girardot is incredible & truly cares about her patients. She takes her time with you during the consult, makes you feel comfortable, and listens to what you want & gives her recommendations based on your breast goals. I was nervous and scared with having a breast reduction & lift but she really made me feel comfortable the day of the surgery & after. The staff was incredible as well. She took her time with measuring out and marking me up the morning of my surgery and my breast look perfect. I highly recommend her to address your needs and concerns for whatever procedures she can preform. Thank you Dr. Girardot for caring and understanding my needs! ❤️
I had a breast augmentation performed by Dr. Girardot. Let me start off by saying Dr. Girardot is AMAZING!! She is highly skilled, knowledgeable, kind and has the best bed side manner (her list can go on!!) I’m so happy with my results, it is exactly what I always imagined them to be. During my initial consultation I felt so confident in Dr. Girardot, she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The Watt team is so sweet. They were super helpful pre and post surgery. I can’t thank them enough for following up on me and always answering my questions when I would call in. I will always recommend Dr. Girardot to anyone that is considering plastic surgery. I am forever grateful to have Dr. Girardot as my surgeon. Thank you so much

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.
