Restore smoother, healthier skin with Rejuvapen microneedling in Mesa and Chandler at LaVida Medspa. We offer microneedling with PRF, PDGF, and exosomes to improve acne scars, uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. Our experienced team creates personalized treatment plans focused on effective skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime and transparent pricing.
Microneedling stimulates your natural repair process to improve various concerns, including:
Your skin naturally produces collagen and elastin to keep it smooth, firm, and resilient. As you age, collagen production slows, and damage from sun exposure, acne, and everyday wear can leave behind fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and increasingly noticeable scars.
At LaVida Medspa, we use the Rejuvapen device to create thousands of microchannels within the epidermis and dermis. This controlled micro-injury triggers collagen induction therapy (CIT), allowing your skin to repair itself naturally while improving the absorption of PRF, PDGF, or exosomes when appropriate. The healing process occurs in three distinct phases:
Every patient’s skin is different, which is why we offer several advanced microneedling options. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns, skin condition, and goals to recommend the treatment that will provide the greatest benefit for your skin. To learn more about this treatment, schedule your microneedling consultation at our Mesa or Chandler LaVida Medspa locations.
Microneedling with PRF in Mesa and Chandler combines Rejuvapen collagen induction with platelet-rich fibrin prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The PRF is applied directly to the skin after microneedling, allowing platelets, white blood cells, fibrin, and naturally occurring growth factors to penetrate deeper into the tissue. These growth factors are released gradually, helping boost collagen production, support tissue repair, and enhance your body’s natural healing process.
Exosome microneedling combines Rejuvapen with V-tech Exosomes by Promoitalia to maximize your regenerative response. Once the microchannels are created, the exosomes are applied to the area, allowing extracellular vesicles containing peptides, proteins, lipids, and signaling molecules to penetrate the skin. These messengers help improve communication between skin cells, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the skin’s natural repair process.
PDGF microneedling combines Rejuvapen with Ariessence PDGF, a topical solution containing recombinant platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). As the microchannels are created, PDGF is delivered into the epidermis and upper dermis, where it binds to receptors on the fibroblasts and repair cells. This activates cellular signaling involved in collagen synthesis, tissue regeneration, and wound healing, helping improve skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality for patients seeking PDGF microneedling in Chandler and Mesa.
Yes. At LaVida, we use the Rejuvapen device because it is safer, more precise, and more effective than traditional dermarolling. Rejuvapen uses vertical needle technology to create controlled microchannels at a precise 90-degree angle, reducing unnecessary skin trauma while improving collagen induction.
Adjustable needle depths and treatment speeds allow us to customize your procedure for different areas of the face, including delicate regions around the eyes, nose, and lips. The vertical delivery also improves the penetration of PRF, PDGF, and exosomes while making it easier to treat acne scars and other irregular tissue. The result is greater precision, improved comfort, faster recovery, and consistent rejuvenation.
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. But as with any procedure that creates controlled micro-injuries, temporary side effects can occur, including:
Most patients experience redness for 24 to 48 hours after microneedling in Mesa and Chandler, while mild dryness or flaking may continue for several days. There is little downtime, and many people return to normal activities the next day. For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and excessive sweating. Continue using a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoid exfoliating products and active ingredients such as retinoids or acids until your skin has fully recovered, and follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
Your provider will review detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation. In general, avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, exfoliants, retinoids, and irritating skincare products for several days before treatment unless instructed otherwise. Arriving with clean skin and following your personalized preparation instructions helps ensure minimal irritation afterward.
Some patients notice smoother skin within the first week as the skin recovers. However, collagen remodeling takes time. While traditional microneedling relies solely on your body’s baseline healing response, choosing PDGF microneedling in Mesa and Chandler infuses growth factors directly into microchannels to accelerate tissue repair and boost overall collagen output. Improvements in texture, fine lines, acne scars, and firmness become more noticeable over 4 to 12 weeks as new collagen and elastin develop beneath the skin. Because collagen production continues after treatment, your results can continue to improve for several months.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and goals. Mild texture concerns may respond well to 3 treatments, while acne scars, deeper wrinkles, or significant sun damage often require a series of 4 to 6 sessions. Treatments are generally scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow your skin to complete the collagen remodeling process before the next session.
Once new collagen is produced, it can provide long-lasting improvements. However, your skin continues to age naturally, and collagen production gradually declines over time. Many patients choose maintenance treatments for microneedling or microneedling with PRF in Chandler and Mesa every 6 to 12 months to help preserve their results, especially if they have ongoing concerns with skin texture, aging, or acne scarring.
Whether your skin feels textured, scarred, or in need of a collagen boost, microneedling can help reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin. At LaVida Medspa, we customize each treatment — including options with PRF, PDGF, or exosomes — to your skin’s needs and goals, helping you achieve results that look and feel refreshed. Schedule a consultation at our Chandler or Mesa location to find out if microneedling is right for you.
