Microneedling
Collagen Induction Therapy in Spring, The Woodlands and Greater Houston
At ENNAesthetics, we offer three distinct levels of needling technology to trigger your skin’s natural healing response. Whether you are looking for a needle-free glow or deep structural remodeling, our customized treatments deliver clinical results with precision.
1. Nanoneedling (The Needle-Free Glow)
Best For: Instant brightening, puffiness, and delicate areas (eyes/lips). Nanoneedling uses microscopic silicone hair-like cones to create temporary “nanochannels” in the skin. This allows for up to 97% better product absorption without drawing blood or requiring numbing cream.
Downtime: Zero.
Results: Immediate hydration, refined texture, and a “lit-from-within” radiance.
2. Microchanneling (The Refined Rejuvenation)
Best For: Fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. Microchanneling is a “stamp” technique that creates clean, vertical channels in the skin. This method minimizes lateral tearing (unlike older pens) and is often paired with high-performance ProCell growth factor serums to accelerate cellular communication and repair.
Downtime: 24–48 hours of mild redness.
Results: Improved skin density and a smoother, more uniform complexion.
3. Medical-Grade Microneedling (The Deep Reset)
Best For: Deep wrinkles, acne scars, and significant sun damage. Our most intensive needling treatment targets the deeper dermis to trigger a robust collagen and elastin response. By creating controlled micro-injuries, we force the skin to rebuild itself from the bottom up, effectively “filling in” scars and smoothing deep-set lines.
Downtime: 3–5 days (resembling a mild sunburn).
Results: Dramatic improvement in skin structural integrity and long-term anti-aging.
Comparison at a Glance
Benefits of a Nanoneedling, Microchanneling & Microneedling
1. Nanoneedling: The Instant Brightener
This is a non-invasive “infusion” treatment. Because it doesn’t use actual needles, it’s the safest option for very sensitive areas like the lips and directly under the eyes.
Maximum Product Absorption: It creates temporary channels that allow your professional serums to penetrate up to 97% better than topical application.
Refined Texture: Instantly smooths the surface of the skin, making it the perfect “event-ready” treatment with zero redness.
Zero Downtime: Ideal for a quick “glow-and-go” session in The Woodlands without any recovery period.
2. Microchanneling: The Precision Refiner
This “stamping” technique is a step up, providing more uniform stimulation than traditional pens.
Clean Stimulation: By creating vertical channels without any “dragging” or tearing, it triggers the skin to produce new collagen and elastin more efficiently.
Pore & Fine Line Reduction: Excellent for shrinking the appearance of enlarged pores and softening early signs of aging.
Serum Enhancement: Often paired with growth factor serums to significantly speed up cellular communication and repair.
3. Medical-Grade Microneedling: The Deep Transformer
This is the most intensive option, reaching the deeper dermis to force a “total reset” of the skin’s structure.
Scar Remodeling: This is the gold standard for acne scarring, as it physically breaks up old scar tissue and replaces it with smooth, new skin.
Structural Integrity: Dramatically firms sagging skin and fills in deep-set wrinkles by inducing a robust “healing cascade.”
Long-Term Anti-Aging: While it has a 3–5 day recovery, the internal remodeling continues for weeks, providing the most significant “before and after” results.
How often should I book Nanoneedling, Microchanneling, or Microneedling?
Nanoneedling: Every 2–4 Weeks: Since Nanoneedling is non-invasive and does not require a deep healing phase, it can be done more frequently. It is the perfect “maintenance” treatment to keep your skin hydrated and glowing between more intensive sessions or before special events.
Microchanneling: Every 4–6 Weeks. Microchanneling requires a slightly longer interval to allow the skin to fully process the growth factor serums and build new tissue. A series of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended to see significant improvements in fine lines and skin laxity.
Medical-Grade Microneedling: Every 4–8 Weeks. Because this treatment reaches the deeper dermis, your skin needs ample time to move through the full “wound healing cascade.”
For Anti-Aging: We generally recommend sessions every 6 weeks.
For Deep Acne Scarring: We may space sessions 8 weeks apart to allow the structural collagen to fully remodel before the next pass.

Nanoneedling with Salmon PDRN & LED Therapy – $149 /1h
(Series of 3: $402), (Series of 5: $633)
Experience the ultimate needle-free glow. This treatment combines the advanced infusion power of Nanoneedling with Salmon PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)—a bio-regenerative ingredient that is 95% similar to human DNA. By creating microscopic nano-channels, we deliver this “skin healer” directly into the upper layers of the skin to trigger instant repair and hydration.
The DNA-Repair Advantage
Salmon PDRN is a biostimulator that works at a cellular level to repair damaged skin barriers and neutralize inflammation. It is the gold standard for achieving “glass skin,” as it physically smooths texture while internally boosting the skin’s natural healing cycle.
Targeted Benefits:
Instant Bio-Hydration: Plumps the skin from within for a dewy, radiant finish.
DNA-Level Healing: Targets sun damage and environmental aging without the need for needles.
Zero Downtime: Ideal for a pre-event “refresh” or for those with sensitive skin who want clinical results without the redness of traditional needling.
ATP Boost: Concludes with Celluma LED Light Therapy to energize your skin cells and lock in the PDRN nutrients.
Radio Frequency Microneedling with MD Human Stem Cell & LED Therapy – $375 /1h30m
Experience the gold standard in non-surgical skin tightening. This advanced treatment combines the precision of medical-grade microneedling with the deep-reaching power of Radio Frequency energy. By delivering heat directly into the dermis, we trigger an immediate contraction of collagen fibers and a long-term remodeling of the skin’s internal structure.
The Power of MD Human Stem Cells
To maximize your results and minimize downtime, we infuse the skin with MD Human Growth Factors and Stem Cells. This pharmaceutical-grade serum provides the essential “building blocks” your skin needs to repair itself, resulting in faster healing and a more dramatic improvement in skin density.
Targeted Benefits:
Advanced Skin Tightening: Specifically targets jowls, neck laxity, and sagging skin by stimulating deep-layer heat.
Deep Architectural Repair: Dramatically reduces the appearance of deep-set wrinkles, surgical scars, and severe acne scarring.
Refined Surface & Pores: Improves overall skin “bounce” while shrinking enlarged pores and smoothing rough texture.
LED Recovery Boost: Every session concludes with Celluma LED Light Therapy to calm inflammation, kill acne-causing bacteria, and further accelerate the production of ATP for cellular repair.
What to Expect
Due to the addition of RF energy, you may feel a deep warming sensation during the procedure. We provide professional-strength numbing to ensure your comfort. Post-treatment, you may experience 24–48 hours of “sunburn-like” redness, followed by a visible tightening effect that continues to improve for up to 12 weeks.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling with Exosomes & LED Therapy – $500 /1h30m
(Series of 3: $1350), (Series of 5: $2125)
This core collagen induction treatment is designed to intensely hydrate and resurface the skin. By combining precision microneedling with a high-concentration, sterile Hyaluronic Acid (HA) serum, we deliver moisture directly into the deeper layers of the dermis where it is needed most.
The Power of Sterile Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. When infused through microchannels, it plumps the skin from within, instantly smoothing out fine lines caused by dehydration and leaving the complexion with a dewy, “glass-skin” finish.
Targeted Benefits:
Deep Rehydration: Quenches thirsty, lackluster skin by delivering HA beyond the surface barrier.
Texture Refinement: Gently minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores and surface irregularities.
First Signs of Aging: Softens early fine lines and prevents the formation of deeper wrinkles.
Post-Treatment Calm: Every session includes Celluma LED Light Therapy to reduce immediate redness and soothe the skin, allowing for a faster transition to your post-glow results.
What to Expect
This treatment is highly effective yet gentle enough for most skin types. You may experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn for 24–48 hours. As the HA settles and the micro-injuries begin to heal, you will notice a significant increase in skin suppleness and radiance.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling with MD Human Stem Cell & LED Therapy – $350 /1h30m
(Series of 3: $945), (Series of 5: $1488)
Elevate your skin’s healing potential with our MD Human Stem Cell infusion. This advanced treatment uses pharmaceutical-grade growth factors derived from human stem cells to send “repair signals” directly to your skin cells. It is our most popular corrective option for those seeking significant improvements in skin texture and tone with reduced recovery time.
The Science of Stem Cell Growth Factors
As we age, our skin’s natural ability to repair itself slows down. By infusing MD Human Stem Cells during the needling process, we provide the skin with the precise biosignals needed to jumpstart collagen production. This results in thicker, more resilient skin and a more youthful architectural structure.
Targeted Benefits:
Rapid Cellular Repair: Significantly reduces downtime by accelerating the skin’s natural healing cascade.
Enhanced Firming: Boosts elastin and collagen more effectively than standard serums for a visible “lift.”
Advanced Tone Correction: Helps to break up stubborn pigment and smooth out the appearance of acne scarring.
Cellular Recovery: Includes a Celluma LED Light Therapy session to further stimulate ATP production, ensuring your skin leaves the spa in a state of active repair.
What to Expect
This treatment provides a high-intensity clinical result with a surprisingly manageable recovery. Most clients experience “sunburn-like” redness for 24 hours, followed by a radiant, firming effect that peaks at the 2-week mark.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling with Salmon PDRN & LED Therapy $350 /1h30m
(Series of 3: $945), (Series of 5: $1488)
Unlock the secret to cellular longevity with Salmon PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide). This bio-regenerative treatment uses DNA fragments derived from salmon, which are 95% similar to human DNA, to stimulate deep tissue repair and “reset” the skin’s aging process at a biological level.
The Power of PDRN
PDRN is a powerful “biostimulator” that goes beyond traditional hydration. When infused through microchannels, it works to repair damaged DNA within your skin cells, drastically reducing inflammation and accelerating the production of fresh collagen and elastin. It is the gold standard for achieving a glass-skin finish and resilient skin health.
Targeted Benefits:
DNA-Level Repair: Heals damaged skin cells caused by UV exposure, pollution, and aging.
Intense Bio-Hydration: Boosts internal moisture levels for a plump, “glowing from within” appearance.
Redness & Inflammation Relief: Effectively calms reactive skin and reduces the appearance of rosacea or persistent redness.
Wound Healing: Significantly speeds up the recovery of the skin barrier, making it an ideal choice for sensitive or thinning skin.
What to Expect
This treatment is exceptionally soothing. Following the infusion, we apply Celluma LED Light Therapy to harmonize with the PDRN, further reducing inflammation and locking in the DNA-repairing nutrients. You can expect minimal downtime, with most clients seeing a refined, luminous complexion within 24 to 48 hours.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling with Exosomes & LED Therapy – $500 /1h30m
(Series of 3: $1350), (Series of 5: $2125)
Experience the next frontier of cellular regeneration. Our Exosome therapy is the most advanced elective treatment available for total skin transformation. Unlike standard serums, Exosomes are “messenger” vesicles that carry thousands of times more regenerative signals than stem cells alone, providing an unparalleled jumpstart to your skin’s repair mechanisms.
The Power of Exosomes
Exosomes are essentially the “smart-tech” of skincare. They contain a potent cocktail of growth factors, amino acids, and co-enzymes that tell your skin exactly how to repair damaged tissue, neutralize inflammation, and reverse the biological markers of aging. This treatment doesn’t just hydrate; it re-programs your skin to function like it did years ago.
Targeted Benefits:
Hyper-Accelerated Healing: Drastically reduces the recovery phase, with most redness subsiding within hours rather than days.
Superior Collagen Induction: Stimulates up to 600% more collagen and 300% more elastin than traditional needling treatments.
Advanced Pigment & Glow: Effectively shuts down overactive melanin production to treat stubborn melasma and sun damage while creating a permanent “inner” glow.
DNA-Level Repair: Targets the deepest signs of aging, including skin thinning, chronic sensitivity, and loss of facial volume.
What to Expect
This is our most comfortable “intensive” treatment. Because Exosomes are naturally anti-inflammatory, the heat and redness typically associated with medical needling are significantly minimized. You will leave with a calming Celluma LED Light Therapy session, and within 48 hours, you will see a level of clarity and “bounce” that was previously only achievable through more invasive procedures.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) & LED Therapy – $450 /1h15m
(Series of 3: $1215), (Series of 5: $1913)
Commonly known as the “Vampire Facial,” this medical-grade treatment utilizes the healing power of your own blood to achieve unparalleled skin rejuvenation. By isolating the platelet-rich portion of your plasma, we create a potent, 100% biocompatible serum that is packed with your body’s own natural growth factors.
The Power of Your Own “Liquid Gold”
PRP works by mimicking the body’s natural injury response on a massive scale. When infused through microchannels, the platelets release growth factors that signal your cells to produce fresh collagen and healthy new tissue. Because the serum is derived from your own body, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or sensitivity.
Targeted Benefits:
Organic Restoration: Uses your own biology to thicken the dermis and improve skin “snap-back” or elasticity.
Deep Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Excellent for treating dark circles and hollows by stimulating natural volume and blood flow.
Complexion Uniformity: Dramatically fades stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and acne scarring.
Accelerated Healing: The concentrated platelets significantly speed up the recovery process, especially when paired with our concluding Celluma LED Light Therapy session.
What to Expect
This treatment begins with a quick, professional blood draw to prepare your customized PRP serum. During the needling process, you may feel a light “spicy” sensation, but professional numbing ensures your comfort. You can expect 24–48 hours of pinkness, followed by a visible “lit-from-within” glow that continues to improve for months as new collagen matures.
Microneedling/ Microchanneling Hair Restoration MD Human Stem Cell – $395 / 1h15m
(Series of 3: $1067), (Series of 6: $2015)
Reclaim your confidence with our advanced non-surgical hair restoration. This treatment utilizes precision microchanneling to deliver high-performance human growth factors directly to the dormant hair follicles. By waking up sluggish follicles and improving the health of the scalp’s “micro-environment,” we can effectively slow hair loss and encourage the growth of thicker, stronger, and more resilient hair.
The Science of Follicular Regeneration
Hair loss is often the result of follicle miniaturization caused by aging or hormonal shifts. Our MD Human Stem Cell serum contains a concentrated blend of cytokines and growth factors that “re-program” the scalp. This bio-signal therapy reduces inflammation around the follicle and provides the essential proteins needed to prolong the hair’s natural growth (anagen) phase.
Targeted Benefits:
Follicle Activation: Stimulates dormant follicles to produce new, healthy terminal hairs.
Scalp Health Optimization: Improves blood flow and oxygenation to the scalp, creating the ideal foundation for growth.
Increased Hair Density: Works to reverse the thinning process, resulting in a visibly fuller and more voluminous head of hair.
Drug-Free Solution: A powerful alternative or supplement to daily topical medications, with no systemic side effects.
What to Expect
This treatment is efficient and requires no downtime. We use a specialized stamping technique to ensure the growth factors reach the follicle bulb without damaging existing hair. You may experience mild scalp redness for 12–24 hours, similar to a light sunburn. For optimal results, a series of 6 treatments is highly recommended to align with the natural cycles of hair growth.

Nanoneedling, Microchanneling & Microneedling FAQs
Nanoneedling is a non-invasive infusion treatment that uses microscopic silicone tips to stay within the very top layer of the skin (stratum corneum). It requires no numbing and has zero downtime. Microneedling reaches the deeper dermis using medical-grade needles to trigger structural collagen remodeling and requires a few days of recovery.
For Nanoneedling, there is no pain—it feels like a vibrating facial massage. For Microchanneling and Microneedling, we apply a professional-strength topical numbing cream 20–30 minutes prior to ensure you are comfortable throughout the process. Most clients describe it as a light “spicy” or “prickly” sensation.
Nanoneedling: Zero downtime. You’ll leave with an instant glow.
Microchanneling: 12–24 hours of mild pinkness.
Medical Microneedling/RF: 3–5 days. Your skin may look like a mild sunburn for the first 48 hours, followed by light dryness or flaking.
Hyaluronic Acid ($300): Best for deep hydration and a “plumping” effect.
MD Human Stem Cells ($350): Best for anti-aging and faster healing.
Exosomes ($500): The gold standard for total skin transformation, DNA repair, and the most dramatic results.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a bio-stimulator derived from salmon DNA that is 95% similar to human DNA. It acts as a “skin healer,” repairing damaged barriers, neutralizing inflammation, and creating a “glass-skin” finish. We offer this in both Nanoneedling ($149) and Microneedling ($350) versions.
We cannot perform microneedling directly over active, inflammatory acne pustules to avoid spreading bacteria. However, we can work around isolated spots, or we may recommend a Chemical Peel first to clear the skin before starting a needling series for scar revision.
While you will notice a glow after one session, collagen induction is a cumulative process. For corrective results (scars, deep wrinkles), a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4–8 weeks apart is highly recommended.
Traditional microneedling creates physical channels, while RF Microneedling ($375) adds thermal energy. This heat causes immediate contraction of collagen fibers, providing a “lifting” and “tightening” effect that traditional needling cannot achieve alone.
Our Hair Restoration ($395) uses MD Human Stem Cells delivered via microchanneling to wake up dormant follicles and reduce scalp inflammation. It effectively slows hair loss and encourages thicker, more resilient growth without drugs or surgery.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup. Your microchannels remain open for several hours, and we want to ensure only sterile, professional products enter the skin during this window.
Yes! Unlike some lasers, Microneedling and Microchanneling are “color-blind” and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Because it does not use high heat (with the exception of RF, which we adjust carefully), there is a very low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Please avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, saunas, and swimming for at least 48 hours. Sweat can irritate the open channels and lead to breakouts or inflammation.
Keep it simple: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating HA serum, and a physical SPF 30+. Avoid Retinol, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) for 5–7 days post-treatment.
PRP ($450) uses your own blood’s “Liquid Gold” (platelets). We draw a small amount of blood, spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the growth factors, and then needle that serum back into your skin for 100% organic, biocompatible rejuvenation.
Adding Dermaplaning ($60) removes the “peach fuzz” and dead skin cell barrier. This allows your professional serums (like Exosomes or Stem Cells) to penetrate 40% deeper, ensuring you get the maximum value from your treatment.
