What Is Microneedling?
If store-bought skin care products aren't providing the results you want, microneedling may be the treatment you need to elevate your routine. Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a popular treatment performed at Arijai Aesthetics for San Antonio, TX patients who are looking for advanced skin rejuvenation but who may not be ready to commit to surgery. This noninvasive treatment uses multiple fine-gauge needles to effectively and safely make micro-injuries in the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that improve the appearance and health of your complexion. Often combined with other treatments, like serums or PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), microneedling can help significantly reduce the appearance of scars, pores, and stretch marks. Schedule a consultation at Arijai Aesthetics to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and ways to customize your procedure for your skin concerns and goals.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling treatments at Arijai Aesthetics are performed on-site and typically take 30 – 60 minutes. Before starting your procedure, we can apply a numbing cream to limit any potential discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleansed before the microneedling handpiece is evenly passed over. After the microneedling is performed, a topical treatment, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or a serum with a vitamin infusion, can be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. Before you leave, we'll apply a moisturizing cream with UV protection to keep your newly refreshed skin hydrated and safe from the sun.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling is a powerful and versatile rejuvenation solution that can work for all skin types. A few of the benefits of collagen induction therapy with microneedling at Arijai Aesthetics include:
- Low-risk, minimally invasive treatment option
- Enhances feel and tone of skin
- Reduces the appearance of scarring, pigmentation concerns, or stretch marks
- Improves the look of loose skin, fine lines, and other signs of aging
Microneedling Reviews
Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin is simply the G.O.A.T , hands down. He is a real life Superhero. I chose Dr. Balgobin , after following his work for years. I had Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma skin tightening to the abdomen. I trusted he would do an amazing job and I was not disappointed. I’m only one month post op , I look and feel amazing, I couldn’t be happier!! You only get one chance of getting your surgery and results right! Dr. Balgobin is beyond the best!!
I met with Lacey and she took a lot of time to educate me and guide me in the right direction. I’m no stranger to fillers but I’ve never had anyone provide me with so much great information and attainable solutions for my concerns. Also she used a cannula which is far less painful and significantly reduces the risk of bruising. Love the results and am super excited to go back for some micro needling! Plus Lacey is just easy to talk to and fun to be with. So happy I found her!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this Med Spa, Arijai Aesthetics. My goal was to be able to get my skin looking good without makeup as well as look great with makeup. I’ve had Dysport/Botox, lip filler, cheek filler, chin filler, PRF with microneedling, dermaplaning and a customizable facial done. I’ve loved my experience every time. The staff are the sweetest and thorough with every service. They take the time to listen to what you want to achieve. My results are AMAZING!! When i do wear makeup, it doesn't settle in my finelines and texture. It allows me for a smoother Makeup application. With cheek, lip and chin filler I never feel overdone, just refreshed and more confident. I'm 42 and people sometimes mistake me for being in my 30s and late 20s. That prf with microneedling is something you don't want to sleep on if your concern with under eye crepiness, under eye hallowness. It also helped a lot with my pores and texture. this is the place to go if your looking for a med spa in San Antonio TX. So worth the investment!!! 🙌
Dominique , she is the best !!!!! I love how my skin looks and feels after my micro needling and she will tell you exactly what you need and make you feel and look your best 😍😍 thank you Dominique ❤️
This is my first five-star review for an aesthetics and plastic surgery practice, and I have visited several providers since my late 50s. I chose Dr. Balgobin, also known as "Dr. BBL," because of his warm personality, positive attitude, and genuine bedside manner—qualities that can be difficult to find in this field.I underwent a Lipo 360 procedure, skin tightening, and a BBL. Dominique was also present during the procedure, and both she and Dr. Balgobin made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. Although I was awake during the procedure, their continuous conversation, professionalism, and reassuring presence helped ease any anxiety I had.The entire team was supportive and encouraging. After the procedure, even the nursing staff shared in my excitement about the results. I am very pleased with my experience so far and look forward to sharing updates throughout my post-operative journey.Thank you, Dr. Balgobin and Dominique, for your exceptional care and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does microneedling cost?
During your consultation, we will analyze your skin and then develop your unique plan. After this, a team member will explain your treatment costs and the procedure process. Arijai Aesthetics frequently has discounts on treatment packages, so ask about our current deals during your appointment.
What exactly is microneedling?
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure to rejuvenate your skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps your skin stay smooth, supple, and firm. Eventually, your natural supply of collagen are reduced and your skin becomes thin and less elastic. Microneedling makes small wounds in your skin. These micro-injuries cause your skin to increase its collagen production and generate new skin cell growth. Once healed, your complexion looks healthier, firmer, and brighter.
Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
During the process of microneedling, channels are created that help other treatments to reach the lower layers. That's why microneedling is frequently combined with other skin treatment, like special serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling plus PRP is often called the vampire facial. In your initial consultation, we will discuss which treatments would enhance your microneedling and which can help your skin's health.
