Microneedling Treatment: All Your Questions Answered

Microneedling is a facial treatment that has become a great semi-invasive procedure for those seeking age management and acne scar reduction.

Because it isn’t exactly a conventional treatment for those seeking these solutions, there are plenty of frequently asked questions that average users search online.

Our skin experts at Aloe Beauty Spa in Scottsdale are here to answer your concerns.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling uses an FDA-cleared pen like SkinStylus to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process extracts collagen from your face to help with skin regeneration.

Results don’t show immediately, proper aftercare is required and healing can take about 5 days or less. 

What Does Microneedling Do for Your Face?

Microneedling has one main goal – to help boost the production of collagen. This protein is the secret to the skin’s elasticity and hydration. The more collagen the skin can produce, the tighter and smoother it becomes, thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also speeds up the skin’s ability to heal scars. 

This is what makes it an ideal facial treatment for anti-aging and acne scar reduction. 

How Long Does Microneedling Last?

For the procedure, one microneedling session can take up to 60 minutes depending on your skin type or the target areas.

Results can last for up to three to five months or longer with proper care. It is often recommended to have 3 to 4 sessions spaced between weeks for better results.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

Microneedling costs can differ from one beauty studio to another. At Aloe Beauty Spa in Scottsdale, we charge $300 per session. The procedure, just like our other services, comes complete with a full consultation, cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and other spa treatments to make your session relaxing and worth the cost. 

Besides the face, we also offer microneedling for the neck and décolleté for additional fees of $150 each. Other areas of the body will be quoted upon request. And unlike other beauty spas, we offer a buy 4 treatments, get the 5th one free promo.

Is Microneedling Painful?

The last and arguably most asked question about microneedling involves the pain level. Because the procedure involves “needles” going through the skin, a good sum of people would make the association of pain.

The truth is how painful microneedling is could be subjective.

However, the general consensus is it causes mild discomfort – nothing an average person can’t handle.

Still, it is important to inform your specialist if you have anxiety with needles so we know how to help you better.
