Microneedling in Scottsdale, AZ

A Short Brief on Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic skin treatment that uses thin, sterile needles to create micro punctures in the skin to reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and other skin concerns. At Guyette Facial & Oral Surgery Center, we may recommend microneedling in combination with other medi spa treatments to increase their effectiveness and improve your results. Micro skin needling is a simple, stress-free treatment that requires no downtime or recovery time and offers excellent results. Call us today to schedule a consultation to learn more about microneedling in Scottsdale and Avondale, AZ, and to find out if the procedure is right for you.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for the skin. During the procedure, your technician will use a special instrument containing multiple small, sterile needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. This procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing process and encourages the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful looking. Microneedling can be performed on the face, legs, back, neck, or other areas with damaged or aging skin. Most people undergo multiple microneedling sessions in order to achieve the best results.

Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling improves the appearance, texture, and complexion of your skin. It is a low-risk and minimally invasive treatment method for scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and other skin concerns. Unlike other skin treatments, it doesn’t carry the risk of skin discoloration and doesn’t use heat, light, or lasers, meaning it is an effective treatment for people of all skin tones. Other benefits include:

  • Minimal downtime or recovery time
  • Safe and minimally invasive
  • Encourages collagen and elastin production
  • Reduces the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores
  • Fast and convenient
  • Less expensive than laser treatments

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is right for everyone.

  • Frequent skin rashes
  • Cold sores
  • Keloidal tendency
  • Moles, freckles, skin tags, or other growths
  • Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis

You should consider micro skin needling if you have:

  • Large pores
  • Fine lines or wrinkles
  • Crepey or loose skin
  • Scars from acne or burns
  • Skin discoloration
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Stretch marks
  • Alopecia areata
  • Hyperhidrosis

Microneedling Procedure

Before you undergo microneedling, you will have a full consultation with a member of our team. We will examine your skin, review your lifestyle and health history, and discuss your needs and goals. You can ask any questions about microneedling benefits and microneedling results. We will ask you to arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup and skin care products. We will apply a numbing cream or ointment around 30-45 minutes before your procedure. We will then use a hand-held roller or instrument to gently make the small punctures in your skin. You may feel a scratching sensation or a warmth on your face. The procedure will take between 15 minutes and a few hours, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Microneedling Results & Recovery

Microneedling facials are outpatient procedures performed at our medi-spa, and you can return to your normal routine when you’re done. Your face may be red or inflamed for a few days. An ice pack can be used to relieve any irritation or discomfort. You may wear makeup the day after the procedure, but you should always wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun until your skin is fully healed. Your skin might burn or feel tight for a few days or a week after the procedure, and you may have dry or flaking skin. After three to six months, you should see significant results.
