What Is Microneedling?

If over-the-counter skincare products are no longer providing results, but you want to avoid surgery, nonsurgical treatments like microneedling may be the solution. At medspa810 in Scottsdale, AZ, our skilled team performs microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy. Using the SkinStylus® device, fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which improve the appearance, health, and texture of your skin. Microneedling can be combined with other treatments, such as vitamin serums or stem cells, to minimize scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles. Schedule a consultation to learn how we can personalize this treatment to meet your skin goals.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging
  • Minimizing hyperpigmentation, scars, and stretch marks
  • Providing a safe, minimally invasive treatment option
  • Enhancing overall skin texture and tone

Am I a Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling may be right for you if you have mild skin concerns, such as rough texture or low elasticity. It can also improve the appearance of scars, large pores, and stretch marks. While results develop gradually as collagen and elastin are naturally produced, patients can expect natural-looking, healthier skin over time.

Microneedling with Stem Cells

At medspa810, we also offer microneedling combined with stem cells to enhance tissue healing and promote new cell growth. This combination can further reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and large pores, while improving skin texture and tone without damaging the epidermis. To learn more about personalized microneedling with stem cells, schedule a consultation at our Scottsdale, AZ office.

How Is Microneedling Performed?

Microneedling treatments typically take 30–60 minutes in one of our procedure rooms. Numbing cream or local anesthesia can be applied for comfort, though most patients report minimal pain. The procedure begins with cleansing the treatment area, followed by even application of the microneedling handpiece. Afterward, a topical treatment—such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or a vitamin-infused serum—is applied to allow deeper nutrient absorption. The session concludes with a moisturizer tailored to your skin type and UV protection, as treated skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun.
