Why do microneedling and laser results sometimes fade faster or heal slower than they used to? Often the reason is hormonal. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, serving DC Ranch and Paradise Valley, Heather Cyr, LME, CLT, builds the skin plan and Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, leads the hormone side, so the two are planned together.

At a glance

  • Estrogen receptors in skin decline from the onset of menopause; estrogen supports collagen synthesis, elastic fibers, and the skin barrier.
  • Declining estrogen is associated with reduced skin collagen, thinning, and slower wound healing.
  • Treatments that depend on healing, such as SkinPen microneedling, are where a slower response first shows.
  • A Skin Health Consultation with Heather Cyr, LME, CLT, or Sara Espinoza, LME, CLT, is $150, fully redeemable toward products or treatment.
  • Hormone care at MODE is led by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, with Kirstyn Prater, DNP, AGACNP-BC; whether therapy fits is decided at a consultation.
  • Between visits the plan continues at home with a ZO Skin Health regimen calibrated at your consultation.

By Torey Varner, RN · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-09-16 What is facial balancing in Scottsdale? Dermal filler planned around the whole face, not one area at a time.

Lips typically take half to one syringe; cheeks one to two syringes per side. Volume settles fully at about two weeks; results typically last 6 to 18 months by product and area.
