Microneedling Is Making Headlines
Microneedling therapy is making headlines and it’s no wonder! Skin rejuvenation results achieved from microneedling therapy are comparable with those achieved by lasers and you don't have to endure extensive downtime. Moreover, microneedling therapy is safe for all skin colors, unlike laser treatments. Haven’t yet heard about microneedling? It is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Results include improved skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
At Scottsdale Integrative Acupuncture we use our Eclipse MicroPen® along with a topical anesthetic, so there is little to no pain during the treatment. And we get great results. Don’t just take our word for it – take a look at the articles below to see how micro-needling is creating a buzz in the skincare industry. Ready to make an appointment?

Mashell Tabe, an Albuquerque, New Mexico–based Medical Aesthetician was interviewed by Vogue, “I want to scream it from the rooftops,” she says. “Done regularly, microneedling will make your skin act like it did in your 20s—it’ll be thicker, it’ll glow, it’ll have the most beautiful tone and texture.” The automated needling pens make for far faster work and are considerably cheaper than the higher-tech alternative of fractional lasers, which create similar pinpoint channels in the skin. And not by coincidence: Laser technology was actually “patterned after the concept of needling,” says Cheryl Burgess, M.D., a dermatologist in Washington, D.C.

New York City Dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day, says she’s had more requests than ever for the procedure this year. “It can even out skin tone, and it can improve delivery of antioxidants into the skin,” she says. “For someone with something like melasma, micro-needling may be the standard of care treatment in the future.” It’s great for acne scars, fine lines, skin rejuvenation, and general discoloration. Generally, patients need about six to ten monthly treatments, followed by maintenance. Treatments take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the surface area and condition that’s being treated.
