Microneedling in Scottsdale
Having healthy, bright and beautiful skin is a highly sought after asset as you age, that’s why so many people in Scottsdale are willing to invest into Microneedling to maintain a young appearance to their face and body.
A professional skin care routine is often necessary to help keep our skin looking young and healthy. But collagen production declines as we age, so topical treatments may no longer be sufficient to keep our skin looking young and healthy. It’s often at this point that microneedling becomes a great solution to restore youthful looking skin.

BabyFace MedSpa in Scottsdale recommends microneedling to many clients since we've seen tremendous benefits from it ourselves. But while microneedling may help revitalize your skin, it may not be the best solution for everyone.

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling in Scottsdale is a procedure that uses a device with a cartridge containing small needles to cause micro-injuries on the skin. These micro-injuries encourage the body's natural collagen synthesis, which restores flexibility and strength to skin that has been damaged by aging and external influences like the sun. In addition to the micro-injuries, serums are infused into the skin with the treatment. The advantage is the delivery of these serums go deeper than applying a topical product to the skin.
This speeds up cellular turnover by allowing it to pass through the epidermis. It is this molecular re-energizing that results in younger, healthier-looking skin in the long run. Some of the parts of the body that may benefit from micro-needling include those mentioned above as well as the hands, legs, arms, neck, abs, back and décolleté.

What to expect from a Microneedling Procedure
Before
Before microneedling, we will wash the skin and administer a topical numbing cream to the area. After about 20 minutes, the anesthetic will have taken effect and we can begin.
During
Controlled micro-injuries are made by the applicator tip as it is applied over the skin’s epidermis, at varying depths dependent on the area(s) being treated. After the treatment a Cryo Cooling Mask is applied. This mask contains anti-aging peptides, super antioxidant pomegranate extract, algae extract, seaweed, hyaluronic acid which soothe and help the skin restore faster from the treatment.
After
Another great benefit of Microneedling is that it does not require any physical downtime. A few days following treatment, some redness is normal and some clients have very light flaking. After a microneedling procedure, it is very important to protect the treated area from the sun.
To understand how microneedling works, we must first understand what it is.
Non-surgical face rejuvenation has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, thanks to the introduction of a slew of new treatment alternatives.
To enhance the look of the epidermis, treatments such as lasers and microneedling inflict minimal damage on the dermis. We refer to this as neocollagenesis, or collagen induction, as a result of controlled damage.
In the microneedling procedure, tiny needles penetrate the skin at a depth of between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters.
At BabyFace Medical Spa in Scottsdale, we use an automated microneedling device with thin, sterile needles, creating a precisely controlled micro-puncture every time.
Most Commonly Asked Questions About Microneedling
Does microneedling cause any pain or discomfort?
No. During a microneedling procedure, most patients do not experience any discomfort. For people who have very sensitive skin, the depth of the cartridge is adjusted so the treatment is comfortable.
How many sessions of microneedling will I need to get the results I want?
The amount of microneedling treatments required for each individual will vary. Several elements will influence your decision, including the severity of your skin issues and the goals you have for your skin. To attain the desired outcomes, most individuals need between one and four sessions.
How many times may microneedling be performed?
Microneedling treatments should be spaced 4-6 weeks apart. As far as how many times you should have your treatments repeated, our medical professionals can advise you. Many clients continue to get microneedling packages because they see the benefits and want to continue but maybe less frequently.
After the treatment, would it be possible for me to return to work?
After the treatment, you may return to work immediately, although there may be some redness for a few days. For the first 24 to 48 hours following your microneedling treatment, you should anticipate some moderate redness and swelling. It is advised not to wear makeup the day of the treatment. You also do not want to expose your skin to the sun for about a week after the treatment.
Does microneedling have any long-term effects?
In most cases, the effects of microneedling are very long lasting as the collagen boosting continues over time.
It is important to know however, that the outward effects of skin conditions such as sun spots, lines, and wrinkles start underneath the surface. Nonetheless. If you've been exposed to UV rays and other variables, these visible marks may reappear over time when skin cells move through the epidermis to the surface, although not to the same extent. Stretch marks and scars are more likely to disappear following microneedling.
