Skin Needling & Microneedling

Skin needling is one of the most effective dermal therapies for optimising skin regeneration. Fine needles create thousands of micro-channels that trigger the skin’s natural repair process, stimulating collagen and elastin to improve texture, tone and the appearance of fine lines and scars.

Our skin needling device is a Medical Grade and Australian TGA-approved device and treatment protocol. It delivers advanced microneedling and can create up to 1,920 puncture channels per second — up to 104% faster than some other microneedling devices.

Skin needling suits people concerned with texture rather than laxity: enlarged-looking pores, uneven tone, rolling or boxcar acne scarring, and early fine lines. It works with your own healing response, which is why it is a common starting point for people who want a change in skin quality without a device that relies on heat or light.

It is not appropriate during active acne breakouts or skin infection, over active cold sores, on skin currently or recently treated with oral isotretinoin, during pregnancy, or where there is a history of keloid scarring. If sagging rather than texture is your main concern, a tightening treatment is the more honest recommendation and we will say so.

We cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing cream, then leave it to take effect for around 20–30 minutes. The needling pass itself takes roughly 20 minutes for a full face, working systematically across each zone at a depth chosen for the area and your concern.

Most clients describe it as a strong vibration with some prickling over bonier areas such as the forehead and jaw. Afterwards we apply a calming serum and SPF. You will leave looking flushed, similar to moderate sunburn, and that settles over the next day or two.

For the first 24 hours use only water or the gentle cleanser we recommend, skip makeup, and avoid the gym, saunas and swimming. Retinoids, exfoliating acids and vitamin C go back in after about five days. Daily SPF is not optional — freshly needled skin is more vulnerable to pigmentation from sun exposure, and skipping it can undo the result you paid for.

A course of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typical, because collagen remodels slowly and each session builds on the last. Scarring generally needs more sessions than general texture. Your plan is confirmed at consultation, and individual results vary.
