Not all microneedling treatments are the same. At Body Preserve, we combine clinical expertise with luxury care to tailor treatment to your skin concerns. Results vary, and improvements are not guaranteed. Our providers are trained in the latest microneedling techniques, including traditional microneedling and advanced RF microneedling with the Exion system.
We use only FDA-cleared devices and medical-grade serums, and we tailor every treatment to your skin type, concerns, and goals. From your initial consultation through your post-treatment follow-up, we are with you at every step. Our patients consistently choose Body Preserve for the personalized attention, transparent pricing, and natural-looking results.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The FDA has authorized microneedling devices as Class II medical devices to improve the appearance of facial acne scars, facial wrinkles, and abdominal scars in adults 22 and older. These tiny needles penetrate the skin at precise depths, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. As your skin heals, it becomes firmer and results in smoother skin that is more even in tone and texture.
At Body Preserve, we offer two types of microneedling. Traditional microneedling uses a pen-style device to deliver consistent needle depth across the treatment area. RF microneedling with the Exion system combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper layers of skin to boost collagen remodeling even further. The Exion system is particularly effective for skin tightening, deep wrinkles, and acne scarring.
Microneedling treats acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Patients at Body Preserve in Scottsdale choose microneedling for these concerns and more, including reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving acne scars and surgical scars, minimizing large pores, evening out uneven skin texture and reducing hyperpigmentation, firming and tightening skin through increased collagen production, and improving overall skin radiance.
Unlike plastic surgery or other invasive procedures, microneedling works with your body’s natural healing response to deliver gradual, long-lasting improvements. Many patients see noticeable results after just one session, with optimal healing and results developing over many microneedling sessions as collagen continues to rebuild. While many treatments may be recommended for best results, even a single session can produce visible improvement.
Microneedling is FDA-authorized for the face and abdomen, and is also used effectively on the neck, decolletage, hands, and other body areas. At Body Preserve in Scottsdale, the most popular treatment areas include the full face, where microneedling addresses fine lines, pore size, and overall texture. The under-eye area can benefit from improved collagen production and reduced crepiness. The neck and decolletage are commonly treated to address sun damage and skin laxity. Acne scars on the cheeks, jawline, and temples respond particularly well to scar reduction through microneedling. Some patients also choose microneedling for stretch marks and other skin concerns on the abdomen, thighs, or other areas of the body.
Microneedling pricing at Body Preserve varies depending on the type of treatment, the area being addressed, and whether you choose traditional microneedling or our advanced treatments including RF microneedling with the Exion system. During your complimentary consultation, we will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We also offer package pricing for patients who commit to a full treatment series, which typically delivers the best long-term results.
Body Preserve accepts several financing options, including flexible payment plans, so you can invest in your skin without financial stress. Contact us today for a personalized quote.
Your microneedling journey at Body Preserve begins with a thorough skin assessment. Once we develop your customized treatment plan, we cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing cream approximately 30 minutes before the procedure to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
The microneedling treatment itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Our providers adjust needle depth and speed based on the specific concern and location on the face or body. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibration. After treatment, your provider will explain suitable skincare and device-appropriate aftercare for the healing period.
Recovery varies with the treatment method, settings, and individual skin response. Redness, swelling, and sensitivity can occur, and RF microneedling may involve a longer recovery than traditional microneedling. Your provider will explain when to resume normal activities and skincare, including precautions around sun exposure, exercise, and active ingredients such as retinol.
We provide every patient with a detailed aftercare guide and medical-grade skincare recommendations to protect and nourish your skin during the healing process. Following our aftercare instructions closely will help you see the best possible results from each session.
Body Preserve offers a full range of aesthetic treatments to complement your microneedling results. Enhance your skin rejuvenation with Botox to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, add volume with dermal fillers, or sculpt and tone with body contouring.
Take your skin rejuvenation further with chemical peels for enhanced exfoliation, or explore QuantumRF for combined fat reduction and skin tightening in a single treatment. Complete your look with Botox or Dysport to smooth fine lines.
Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, but we typically recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals, which we will discuss during your consultation at Body Preserve.
We apply a topical numbing cream approximately 30 minutes before your treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or light vibration. Our providers also adjust needle depth and speed to keep you comfortable throughout the entire session.
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-channels that stimulate collagen production. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy through the needles. The methods differ in treatment goals, risks, and recovery. Your provider will assess your skin and discuss which approach, if either, is appropriate for you.
Recovery varies with the treatment method, settings, and individual skin response. Redness, swelling, or sensitivity can occur, and RF microneedling may require longer recovery. Your provider will explain when to resume activities and skincare and which sun-exposure precautions to follow.
Microneedling is not suitable for everyone. Skin tone, medical history, current skin conditions, medications, and the device matter. Pigment changes can occur, including on darker skin. Your provider will assess candidacy and discuss the benefits and risks of traditional or RF microneedling before treatment.
Other treatments may be considered as part of an individualized plan. Discuss suitability and timing with your provider; combining treatments is not automatically appropriate. The FDA has not authorized microneedling devices to deliver skincare products, drugs, or blood products such as PRP into the skin.
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance are often visible within 1 to 2 weeks as the skin heals and new collagen begins forming. Full results develop over 3 to 6 months as collagen remodeling continues. Results improve with each subsequent session in your treatment series.
Microneedling can soften the appearance of acne scars by creating controlled micro-injuries that prompt new collagen and elastin production. A series of treatments is usually recommended, and deeper or more textured scars may be better suited to RF microneedling with Exion. Your provider will evaluate the scar type and your skin before recommending a treatment plan.
Patients often ask how microneedling compares to other treatments for skin rejuvenation. Traditional microneedling, RF microneedling, chemical peels, and laser treatments differ in how they work, the concerns they address, and their risks and recovery. No single option is best or safest for every skin type. Your provider will assess your skin, medical history, and goals before recommending an approach.
RF microneedling with the Exion system bridges the gap between traditional microneedling and laser skin tightening, offering the collagen stimulation of microneedling with the deep-tissue heating of radiofrequency. Your provider at Body Preserve can help you determine which treatment or combination of advanced treatments is right for your skin. We also offer other treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox that pair beautifully with microneedling for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
