At Posed & Pretty, our microneedling treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer skin over time. Perfect for those looking to diminish pore size, fade acne scarring, smooth out fine lines, and improve overall skin texture and tone.


  •  Dermal Thickening & Skin Tightening

The primary benefit of microneedling is the "collagen remodeling" that occurs during healing. By stimulating the body’s natural repair response, we increase skin density. This results in a tighter, firmer complexion and a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and "crepy" skin texture.


  • Scar & Pore Refinement

Microneedling is the clinical gold standard for breaking up tough, fibrous scar tissue—especially from past acne. The mechanical action of the needles breaks down old, tethered skin cells and replaces them with smooth, new tissue. This process also tightens the "collar" around your pores, making them appear significantly smaller and more refined.


  • Pigment Clearance & Tone Uniformity

This treatment is highly effective for dispersing clusters of melanin that cause sun spots and hyperpigmentation. By accelerating cellular turnover, we force the skin to shed pigmented cells faster, resulting in a more uniform, brightened skin tone without the risk of heat-induced pigment changes seen with some lasers.

What to Expect:


Process

We prioritize comfort by applying a high-potency numbing cream for 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes, during which I utilize a cross-hatch technique to ensure 100% coverage and symmetrical stimulation across the entire face.


Downtime

Expect 24–48 hours of redness, similar to a moderate sunburn. You may experience slight tightness and mild flaking on day 3 or 4 as the old skin cells shed. Most clients return to their normal routine and makeup use within 2 days.


Results

While a "microneedling glow" appears within a week, the structural benefits—such as scar reduction and skin tightening—mature over 4–6 weeks.


Longevity

The new collagen created is permanent, but maintenance is key to combatting the natural aging process. For optimal results, a series of 3 sessions is recommended, followed by a maintenance treatment every 6 months.
