Microneedling (Microgold Infusion)

Microneedling with the Microgold infusion technique to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance the absorption of topical serums. The Microgold technique uses a gold-plated microneedle stamp or roller to create controlled micro-channels in the skin for superior serum infusion. Minimal downtime.

Microneedling at My Houston Surgeons uses the Microgold infusion technique — a gold-plated microneedling approach that combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of standard microneedling with enhanced delivery of topical serums and growth factors through the micro-channels created in the skin. Microneedling works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the epidermis and superficial dermis using a stamp or rolling device fitted with fine needles, typically 0.5 to 2.0 mm in length depending on the area and indication. The micro-injuries trigger a wound-healing cascade — platelet aggregation, growth factor release, and fibroblast activation — that results in new collagen and elastin synthesis over the weeks following treatment. This produces gradual improvement in skin texture, pore size, fine lines, and the appearance of mild acne scarring and stretch marks. The gold-plating of the needles in the Microgold technique is intended to provide a biocompatible, corrosion-resistant needle surface that glides smoothly through the skin with minimal friction and risk of micro-contamination. The infusion element takes advantage of the temporary patent micro-channels to drive topical serums — such as hyaluronic acid, growth factor complexes, or vitamin C formulations — deeper into the dermis than topical application alone achieves, amplifying the treatment's hydrating and skin-repairing benefits. The session takes approximately thirty to forty-five minutes including the topical numbing phase. Downtime is minimal — mild redness and sensitivity lasting twenty-four to forty-eight hours after the session. A series of three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart is typically recommended to achieve cumulative collagen remodelling results. My Houston Surgeons offers microneedling as part of a comprehensive non-surgical skin care programme within the plastic surgery clinic.
