Build new collagen — naturally.
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger your body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin in the weeks that follow. At DaVida Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, microneedling is our go-to treatment for fine lines, acne scars, large pores, stretch marks, and overall skin texture — with results that build over weeks and last for months.
Why people reach for it
Unlike fillers that add synthetic material, microneedling stimulates your body to build its own new collagen and elastin — meaning the result is your own healed, refreshed skin.
Fine lines, acne scars, large pores, stretch marks, post-acne marks, and overall texture all respond to microneedling in a single treatment series.
Most clients commit to a 3-treatment series spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The collagen response builds over each session, with full visible results 2–3 months after the final treatment.
Microneedling alone is excellent; combined with PRF, the result is even more dramatic. We offer both — standalone microneedling and the PRF + microneedling vampire facial.
Who it's for
Microneedling is the right pick for:
Why it works
Our device delivers thousands of precisely-controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area at a calibrated depth — much more effective than at-home derma rollers, which can't reach therapeutic depth.
Each micro-injury triggers your body's wound-healing response: inflammation, fibroblast activation, and new collagen and elastin synthesis over the following weeks.
The collagen produced is the same Type I and Type III that gives young skin its firmness and resilience — meaning the result is truly biological renewal, not surface refinement alone.
We adjust depth based on the area and concern — finer settings for delicate skin and fine lines, deeper settings for acne scars and stretch marks.

Common questions
How much does microneedling cost in San Antonio?
At DaVida, a single microneedling treatment is $300, with a 3-treatment series available for $800 (save $100). The 3-treatment series is what we recommend for full results — most clients see noticeable improvement after one session, but the cumulative collagen response from a series is what produces the most dramatic and lasting change.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see meaningful results after 1 session, with optimal results from a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For deeper concerns (acne scars, deep stretch marks), 4–6 sessions may be recommended. Annual maintenance after the initial series keeps results consistent over time.
What's the downtime for microneedling?
Plan for 3–5 days of mild redness and pinkness — similar to a sunburn that fades over a week. Most clients can wear makeup by day 3 and resume all normal activities by day 5–7. We don't recommend booking microneedling within 7 days of a major event.
Microneedling vs the vampire facial — what's the difference?
Standard microneedling triggers your collagen response through the micro-injury alone. Adding PRF (the vampire facial) amplifies that response with concentrated growth factors absorbed directly into the channels — meaning more dramatic texture, tone, and brightness improvements per session, with similar downtime. We offer both at different price points.
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply topical numbing for 20–30 minutes before treatment, which makes microneedling tolerable. You'll feel mild pressure and a vibrating sensation, but not sharp pain. Post-treatment skin sensation is similar to a mild sunburn and resolves within days.
When will I see results?
Initial brightening shows within 1–2 weeks. Texture and tone improvements continue building over the following 6–8 weeks as collagen renewal matures. Best results are visible 2–3 months after a full series, with continued improvement for several more months as collagen continues to remodel.
"Microneedling is one of the most evidence-backed treatments in modern aesthetic medicine — there's a reason it's been a treatment-room staple for over a decade. The collagen-stimulating power is real, the side-effect profile is favorable, and the results compound across a series. A foundational treatment for any anti-aging routine."
