Microneedling in Phoenix, AZ: SkinPen Collagen Induction Therapy for Scars, Wrinkles & Skin Rejuvenation

.
Our board-certified dermatologists customize each treatment to your specific skin concerns—delivering safe, effective results with minimal downtime.
What Is Microneedling with SkinPen?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, involves creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using the SkinPen device. These tiny channels trigger the body’s wound healing process, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers—key components for firmer, smoother skin.
Treatment can be enhanced with:
- Hydrating hyaluronic acid gel
– boosts skin hydration during treatment
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – contains growth factors that
accelerate healing and
boost collagen production
What Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is a versatile treatment with wide-ranging benefits for both aesthetic and corrective concerns.
Conditions Treated:
- Acne scars
- Surgical or traumatic scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity and dull texture
