Most treatments improve the surface — the results fade because that's as deep as they go. At Avinity, microneedling reaches the dermis, where collagen is actually produced.

If you're searching for microneedling in Scottsdale, you've probably already tried something — and what's still there is hard to ignore:
Acne scars that haven't faded
Fine lines that make you look older than you feel
Uneven texture that shows up in certain lighting
Large pores or rough skin that won't smooth out
Dark spots or sun damage that keeps coming back
Most patients we see aren't looking for a temporary glow. They're looking for real improvement — and in most cases, previous treatments didn't work because they never reached the depth where change actually happens.
Not all microneedling is the same — and the difference isn't technique. It's depth. Most treatments are performed at a superficial level that improves how your skin looks temporarily. Without reaching the dermis, there's no collagen remodeling. And without collagen remodeling, results don't last.

Lasting change over a treatment course
As collagen production increases and skin structure improves, patients often notice:
✔ Softer appearance of acne scars
✔ Smoother skin texture and smaller-looking pores
✔ Reduction in fine lines and early wrinkles
✔ More even skin tone and improved brightness
✔ Healthier, firmer-looking skin over time
"I had tried microneedling before and didn't see much change. This felt completely different — my skin is already smoother, and the process was more thorough."
"The consultation helped me understand what my skin actually needed. It didn't feel rushed or sales-focused."
Week 1: Skin appears brighter and smoother
Weeks 2–4: Texture begins improving
Weeks 4–8: Collagen production increases After a series: Noticeable improvement in scars, tone, and firmness
Each session builds on the last — results are progressive and long-lasting because they come from your skin actually repairing itself.
Treatments are performed by a registered nurse using a medical-grade device, following physician-guided protocols. This allows for:
✔ Consistent, repeatable treatment parameters
✔ Safe delivery at appropriate depth
✔ A structured plan focused on long-term skin improvement
The goal is not a one-time cosmetic change — it's measurable improvement in your skin over a series of treatments.
Medical-grade microneedling is effective for a range of structural skin concerns, particularly those that surface-level treatment has not resolved.
Skin Assessment & Prep
Your appointment begins with a one-on-one evaluation of your skin.
We assess:
Skin type and condition
Areas of concern (scarring, texture, tone)
Treatment goals
Your skin is then cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Medical-Grade Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is performed using a medical-grade device, with treatment depth customized to your skin and the concern being addressed.
The procedure creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering collagen production and initiating the repair process at a deeper level.
Treatment is precise, consistent, and guided by clinical protocol—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Regenerative Application
Recovery Support
Red and near-infrared light therapy is included as part of your treatment to support recovery and reduce visible redness.
This helps calm the skin and supports the body’s natural healing response.
For patients looking for more than standard microneedling, enhancements can accelerate healing and improve results. Recommended based on your skin and goals — not applied as a default.
PRP microneedling uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to support healing and stimulate collagen production after microneedling.
PRP microneedling is often chosen by patients looking to improve:
Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin texture
Overall skin rejuvenation
PRP can help support faster recovery and enhance the overall results of medical-grade microneedling.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) microneedling is a regenerative treatment that supports skin repair at the cellular level.
When paired with microneedling, it can help:
Improve hydration
Support faster skin recovery
Improve skin elasticity
Enhance overall skin quality
This is a strong option for patients focused on smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Exosomes are advanced regenerative messengers that help support skin renewal and repair.
Exosome microneedling can help:
Boost collagen response
Support tissue repair
Improve recovery time
For patients looking for a more advanced approach to microneedling, this can be a powerful option for deeper skin rejuvenation.
Which Enhancement Is Right for You?
Not every patient needs an enhancement, and not every option is right for every skin concern.
At Avinity Health, we recommend the best approach based on your skin, your goals, and the level of correction you want. Our goal is not to add more treatment than you need. It is to help you get the best result possible from your microneedling treatment.
Not all microneedling is the same and the difference directly impacts your results.
Many patients come to us after trying treatments that only improved the surface, without creating real change in their skin.
The biggest difference comes down to who performs your treatment and how deep it goes.

Customized protocols
Most individuals require a series of three to six treatments, spaced three to four weeks apart. The number depends on the skin concern being addressed. Acne scarring typically requires more sessions than general texture or tone correction. This is assessed at your consultation.
Numbing cream is applied before treatment begins. Most individuals experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Skin typically feels warm or mildly sensitive during treatment.
Skin typically appears pink or mildly flushed for 24–48 hours — similar to a mild sunburn. Most individuals return to normal activity the following day. Post-treatment protocols are provided to support recovery.
Initial improvement in skin texture and tone is typically visible within one to two weeks. Collagen production continues for several months following each session, with ongoing improvement over the course of treatment.
At Avinity, microneedling is performed by a licensed registered nurse — not an aesthetician. This allows for treatment at greater depth, reaching the dermal layer where collagen remodeling occurs. All treatments follow physician-guided clinical protocols, customized to your skin and goals. This is the clinical standard that determines results.
Medical-grade microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones when performed by a trained medical provider with appropriate protocols. Candidacy is assessed during your consultation.
Yes. Avinity offers regenerative enhancements — PRP, PDRN, and exosomes — that can be combined with microneedling when clinically appropriate. These are recommended based on your skin and goals, not offered as standard additions.
Results are long-lasting because they come from your skin producing new collagen — not from a topical applied to the surface. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain and build on those results over time.
