Overview
Microneedling with SkinPen® in Austin, TX
Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses the SkinPen® — the first FDA-cleared microneedling device — to create thousands of controlled, microscopic perforations in the skin. Those micro-injuries trigger the body’s own wound-healing response, prompting new collagen production without heat, energy, or surgery. At The Piazza Center, we pair SkinPen® technology with medical-grade growth factors and peptides to further enhance collagen production, so results go beyond what microneedling alone can achieve.
Because it works through mechanical micro-injury alone — without added heat or energy — microneedling offers a gentler entry point to skin rejuvenation than energy-based treatments like Profound® RF microneedling, with virtually no downtime.

Investment
Cost & financing.
Microneedling pricing depends on the number of sessions recommended and whether growth factors, peptides, or other enhancements are included. After assessing your skin during a consultation, we’ll share a tailored treatment plan, pricing, and a maintenance schedule to support your long-term results. Flexible financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit®, and PatientFi.
Results
Your Microneedling Results
Skin looks noticeably smoother and more radiant within days as any initial flushing fades. Because microneedling works by stimulating your own collagen production, results continue to build in the weeks following each session, with firmer, more even-textured skin emerging as new collagen forms.
Results aren’t permanent — we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments for most concerns, with quarterly maintenance sessions and yearly touch-ups to preserve your results long-term. During your consultation, we’ll design a treatment plan around your specific skin goals.

Schedule a Consultation →Your ultimate results should last indefinitely, but bear in mind that microneedling does not completely halt the aging process. You may wish to come in for yearly touch-ups to maintain your results for as long as possible.
Although facial rejuvenation is most popular, microneedling is an incredibly versatile procedure that can be performed on various parts of the body. Aging, lax, scarred, or sun-damaged skin on the neck, chest, face, arms, legs, hands, back, and abdomen can be significantly improved with this exciting non-surgical technique. It can also treat acne scarring, improving their appearance with just 3 treatments.
It depends on the condition you wish to treat. We recommend most patients get a series of 3 to 6 treatments for a specific concern, and some patients get maintenance treatments once a quarter or every 90 days. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and work with you to design a treatment plan that prioritizes your needs as well as your preferences.
The SkinPen we use here at The Piazza Center has extraordinarily fine needles, making the procedure quite comfortable. Most people compare the sensation to that of sandpaper being rubbed against the skin. Most people tolerate the procedure well, and we apply a topical numbing agent before the treatment to reduce discomfort.
Immediately following your procedure, your skin will be flushed. This redness can last for up to 4 days, although some patients heal fully within 24 hours.
