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
Post surgery - pleased with results Dr and staff attentive and caring great explanation of what you expect. Pre surgery - amazing!! Unbelievable how caring and patient Alexa was so kind and compassionate.
I’m getting emotional just writing this as Dr Watt has changed my life! He is an amazing surgeon takes pride in his work! His staff is just as amazing and a hugh shout out to his nurse Alex, she was my rock during everything. Just an all around amazing experience. My only regret is that I should have done this 10 years ago!
I just want to take the time to personally thank Dr. Watt and his amazing staff. I knew from the moment I visited Dr. Watt’s website and read thru all his credentials, experience, and personal reviews that he was the surgeon for me. I spent a lot of time and effort researching surgeons and when I met and had my consult with Dr. Watt my experience from start to finish has been beyond my expectations and my surgery results are absolutely perfect! I’m blown away by the outcome of my results and I am only 5 weeks post surgery, I barely have any scars which was and is completely unexpected. I’m so excited to see the final results as the healing continues and the subtle changes take effects in the months ahead. Thank you again Dr. Watt for your personalized expertise and for taking the time to attentively listen to all my wants and expectations. You are truly a master at your craft! I recommend anyone who is considering breast surgery of any kind to consult with Dr. Watt so you too can get the results of your dreams! Thank you to all the amazing women in your practice also who made my experience just as equally special. Each and every person I interacted with from office staff, nurses, and anesthesiologists were kind, sensitive, and professional. A genuinely special group of humans you all are! I had a truly AMAZING experience from start to finish and I won’t forget it! 😊❤️🥰
Dr. Girardot is by far the best plastic surgeon I have met. She takes her time to explain everything, make you feel beautiful even before discussing a procedure, and goes above and beyond to give you the best results. I am so thankful to have a plastic surgeon as amazing and caring as Dr. G. I have gone to her for two surgeries (3 procedures) and plan to go to her for anything else I want in the future. I have referred my coworkers and friends because I know they will always be in the best care with her. 10/10 recommend booking a consult so you can also see just how amazing she is! I’m so happy with my results only one week post-op. Thank you Dr. G and Watt plastic surgery team!
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!

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.
