Microneedling
At Leo Beauty Center in Houston, our Microneedling service is designed to rejuvenate your skin using advanced, FDA‑approved technology. Endorsed by top professionals in the aesthetic field, our treatment harnesses your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a specialized device equipped with ultra-fine needles. These needles create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger your body’s natural wound-healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—essential proteins that help improve skin elasticity, texture, and overall appearance. Our expert practitioners carefully calibrate each session to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring that the treatment is both safe and effective.

Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare
To ensure the best results from your microneedling session, please follow these specialist-approved preparation guidelines:
- Clean, Makeup-Free Skin: Arrive with your skin thoroughly cleansed and free from makeup, lotions, or creams. This allows the treatment to penetrate the skin more effectively.
- Avoiding Active Ingredients: Refrain from using strong topical treatments, such as retinoids or exfoliating acids, for at least 48 hours prior to your session to reduce sensitivity.
- Healthy Skin Condition: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and in a calm state. If you have active acne or skin infections, please inform our specialist so a suitable treatment plan can be designed.
- Consultation: During your pre-treatment consultation, share a full medical and skincare history with our team. This enables us to tailor the session to your specific needs and determine if a test patch is necessary.
Aftercare and What to Expect
After your microneedling session, expect a brief recovery period with visible improvements developing over time:
- Temporary Reactions: It is normal to experience mild redness, slight swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation immediately following the treatment. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
- Soothing the Skin: Use a cool, damp cloth or the recommended soothing ointment to ease any discomfort. Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe.
- Gentle Skincare Routine: Stick to a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturizer for a few days post-treatment. Avoid harsh scrubs or active facial treatments until your skin has fully recovered.
- Sun Protection: As your skin will be more sensitive following the procedure, ensure you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day to safeguard the treated area.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your skin goals and condition, a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal and long-lasting results.
