Microneedling Overview

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy and is a treatment involving the use of extremely fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, promoting rejuvenation through the process of collagen and elastin production. While home-use microneedling devices (derma rollers) exist, professional treatments offer deeper penetration and more effective results. Home devices may benefit your skin, but for impressive and lasting results, professional microneedling is recommended.

What Benefits Can You Expect from Microneedling?

Microneedling is perfect for those seeking a non-surgical procedure that utilizes the body's natural healing and rejuvenating abilities. With little to no downtime after treatment, patients enjoy a healthy, youthful glow and a boost of confidence in their appearance soon after a microneedling session. Microneedling provides benefits such as the following:

  • Improvement of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Finer pore appearance
  • Reduction of small scars (such as acne scars)
  • Reduction of superficial dark spots (“sun spots”)
  • Enhanced skin elasticity

What Can I Expect During Microneedling in Scottsdale?

A microneedling treatment session involves passing the microneedling device over the skin’s surface to create small punctures, stimulating collagen production. The procedure is quick, usually lasting about an hour, and involves minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for those seeking noticeable improvements without significant disruption to their daily routine. Here's how the microneedling procedure is typically performed:

Preparation and Numbing

A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort. This cream is left on for about 30 minutes and then gently removed.

Cleansing

Any makeup, oils, or impurities are removed with a thorough cleansing of the skin, ensuring a sterile environment for the treatment.

Microneedling

The professional microneedling device is moved across your face in a systematic pattern to ensure even coverage. The aesthetician will adjust the needles' depth of penetration based on your specific skin concerns and the areas being treated.

Application of Serums

After the microneedling is complete, soothing serums and moisturizers are applied to the treated areas. These products help to calm the skin and enhance the overall results by penetrating deeper into the skin.

What Will My Recovery Be Like After Microneedling?

Microneedling is a gentle treatment with minimal recovery time. After the procedure, your skin may be slightly red and irritated, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Microneedling creates channels in your skin, which means post-treatment skincare products can penetrate your skin more deeply, enhancing their effectiveness. However, it's important to use products recommended by your aesthetician to avoid irritation. Direct sun exposure should be avoided, and it is important to apply sunscreen diligently to protect your skin as it heals.

Many people notice an improvement after their first treatment, with continued benefits appearing over the next few weeks.

We find patients achieve optimal results from microneedling through a series of treatments, typically three to five sessions spaced a month apart. Your aesthetician will provide a personalized recommendation based on your skin concerns and goals.
