Microneedling in Phoenix, AZ

Microneedling in Phoenix, AZ

Collagen is important for younger looking skin, but our bodies produce less collagen as we get older. The microneedling procedure at Arizona Facial Plastics, PC, is a cosmetic treatment that stimulates collagen production to give you smooth, flawless skin. Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh, specializes in micro needling treatments for men and women who live in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the surrounding communities of Arizona.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that we offer at our medical spa for men and women who want to have flawless, young skin. The collagen induction treatment works by creating tiny micro-injuries to the skin. When your body detects that the skin is being injured, it produces more collagen to repair the micro-wounds. The additional collagen not only heals the wounds but also increases skin volume that fills in lines and wrinkles. Microneedling skin rejuvenation is ideal for treating aging skin, atrophic acne scars, stretch marks, and skin scars.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost in Phoenix?

Your medical insurance will not cover the cost of skin needling treatments. Our patient coordinator will explain the cost of treatment after your consultation with Dr. Taghizadeh. Payment can be made by cash, check, major credit card and financing through CareCredit®.

Benefits of Microneedling

Dr. Taghizadeh recommends microneedling for improving skin texture on the face and body. Common cosmetic problems that can be treated with microneedling are:

  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stretch marks
  • Poor, dull complexion
  • Scar treatment

Recovery from Microneedling

For some patients, the skin feels sensitive but not tender after a micro needling treatment. Your skin will be red, and you should avoid sunlight for the first 48 hours. You should avoid wearing make up for at least one day. Any skin care products should be extremely gentle to your skin, and you should wear sunscreen when outdoors.

Meet Our Experts

Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh,

We pride ourselves on offering the latest cosmetic technologies and procedures. I am constantly in contact with some of the biggest aesthetic companies in the country to find out what new devices are coming out so that we can help you look your best. I have extensive cosmetic surgery training, and I have performed over 3,500 facelifts. My goal is to meet you where you are – whether you are noticing sun damage or are tired of looking 15 years older than you feel-together we can find a way to bring that spark back to your life!I completed my ENT training at the University of Rochester in 2004. To further deepen my understanding of the face, I did a facial plastic surgery fellowship in Switzerland (where I also developed a love of chocolate!). These experiences gave me an in-depth understanding of head and neck structures, an understanding that I use and refine every day to help you achieve the outcome you seek.

Frequently asked questions

What does microneedling do?

Microneedling involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and diminish acne scars.

How long do microneedling results last?

Microneedling results can last up to six months or more, especially when combined with proper skin care and sun protection.

How many microneedling sessions are needed to see results?

Most people notice improvements after the first session, but significant changes require a series of three to six treatments. Sessions are typically spaced four to six weeks apart.

How long are microneedling sessions?

Microneedling sessions generally last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and individual needs.

Who is the ideal candidate for microneedling?

Ideal candidates for microneedling include those with concerns like acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. People with active skin infections, certain skin conditions, or keloid scarring may need alternative treatment.

Will Everyone Benefit from Microneedling?

With the exception of patients who have certain skin conditions, micro needling is considered a safe and effective treatment for common skin flaws.

What Will Microneedling Do for My Skin?

Most patients need three treatments to give the skin the necessary anti-aging boost. The results of your microneedling treatment continue to improve with time, but you may want to have follow-up treatments to provide a greater benefit to your appearance.

How Does Microneedling Differ From Other Types of Skin Treatments?

Microneedling offers a way to stimulate collagen production to improve skin health and appearance. The treatment can be used on the face and body to treat many cosmetic concerns.

What Can I Expect from Microneedling?

Dr. Taghizadeh uses Vivace Microneedling for micro-needling treatments. Vivace Microneedling involves the use of Microneedling Fractionated Radio Frequency (MFR) energy that is delivered to the deeper layers of skin. Dr. Taghizadeh uses the two settings on the system to stimulate collagen production and eliminate bacteria in the pores. The treatment does not create micro-injuries to the outer layer of skin.
