Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to improve the quality of your skin without surgery, without chemicals, and without extended downtime. By working with your body’s own healing response, this treatment builds collagen from the inside out for skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier.
Microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries are invisible to the naked eye, but they trigger a powerful biological response. Your body recognizes the activity and begins producing new collagen and elastin to repair the treated area.
Over the weeks following treatment, this new collagen remodels the skin from within. Fine lines soften. Acne scars become less visible. Pore size decreases. Skin tone evens out. The texture becomes smoother and firmer. And because the results come from your body’s own regenerative process, they continue to improve long after the treatment itself.
Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments we offer. Because it works by stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin production, it can address a wide range of skin concerns across nearly every area of the body.
Stimulates collagen to plump and smooth lines from within
Breaks down scar tissue and rebuilds the skin's structure with new collagen
Tightens the surrounding tissue to reduce visible pore size
Resurfaces the skin at a micro level for a smoother, more refined finish
Accelerates cell turnover to fade dark spots and discoloration
Reverses visible signs of UV exposure by encouraging healthy new skin cells
Rebuilds collagen in the affected tissue for improved tone and texture
Promotes cellular renewal for a visible, healthy glow
We begin with a thorough skin assessment to determine whether microneedling is the right approach for your goals. We will review your current skincare routine, any recent treatments, and your skin’s sensitivity. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort.
The Rejuvapen is moved across the skin in a controlled, precise pattern. Most patients describe the sensation as a light vibration or mild prickling. Treatment time varies by area but typically takes 30 to 60 minutes for the face. The procedure is well-tolerated and requires no anesthesia beyond the topical numbing cream.
Your skin will appear pink to red immediately following treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal routine the next day.
For most patients, a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart delivers optimal results. Some concerns, particularly deeper acne scarring or significant sun damage, may benefit from additional sessions. We assess your progress at each visit and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
After completing a series, we recommend a yearly maintenance session to sustain collagen production and keep your skin at its best.

At Posh Medical Spa, we use the Rejuvapen NXT, an FDA-cleared, medical-grade microneedling device designed and manufactured in the United States. The Rejuvapen features 12 stainless steel needle tips, nine adjustable speed settings, and a precision dial that allows us to customize needle depth from 0.02mm to 2.5mm depending on the area being treated and the concern being addressed.
That level of precision matters. The depth and speed of the needles determine how the skin responds. A shallow pass across the cheeks requires a different approach than treating deep acne scarring on the jawline. The Rejuvapen gives us complete control over every variable, which means better results and a safer treatment for every patient.

All Skin Types | Yes | Depends on peel type | Depends on laser platform |
Body Areas | Face, neck, chest, hands, body | Primarily face | Face, neck, chest, hands |

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a light vibration or mild prickling. It is well-tolerated, and the procedure requires no injectable anesthesia.
Initial improvements in skin texture and glow are often visible within two to four weeks. Collagen remodeling continues for several months after treatment, so results keep improving over time. A series of sessions produces the most significant and lasting improvement.
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with PRP, growth factor serums, and medical-grade skincare. It can also be scheduled alongside chemical peels and other treatments as part of a comprehensive skin plan. We will discuss the best combination for your goals during your consultation.
Downtime is minimal. Redness similar to a mild sunburn typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day.
Microneedling may not be appropriate for patients with active acne, open wounds, or skin infections in the treatment area. Patients who have had fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments within the past four weeks should wait before scheduling. We assess all of this during your consultation.
