Skin Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is one of our most popular treatments for improving skin texture, tone and firmness.
Using a precision device with fine stainless steel micro-needles, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin that activate the body’s natural healing response - stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is progressively smoother, firmer, more refined skin.
“ Skin Needling is effective for a wide range of concerns, including acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven tone, stretch marks and coarse texture, with results continuing to develop for 3–6 months post-treatment. ”
What can I expect during treatment?
Your comfort is our priority from the moment you arrive. A topical anaesthetic is applied for approximately 30 minutes beforehand to ensure you’re relaxed throughout. Once your skin is prepped, your clinician will gently pass the skin needling device across the treatment area in precise, overlapping patterns tailored to your skin concern and depth requirements. A hydrating serum is applied throughout the treatment to support the skin. At the end of your session, your clinician will apply a soothing SPF to protect and calm the skin.
What to expect post-treatment?
After your skin needling treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness and mild sensitivity - similar in appearance to a light sunburn. This typically settles within 24–48 hours. You may also notice some minor pinpoint marks on the skin surface, which resolve quickly as the skin heals. Results develop gradually over the following 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Individual results may vary.
FAQs
To prepare your skin and achieve the best possible result, your clinician will advise on any adjustments to your skincare routine before your appointment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid active skincare ingredients, waxing and resurfacing treatments in the lead-up to your session. Please inform your clinician if you have had anti-wrinkle or filler injections within the last 2 weeks. A full pre-care plan will be provided at your consultation.
After your session, keep your skin calm and well-protected. Use gentle, hydrating products and apply a broad-spectrum SPF every day. Avoid heat, vigorous exercise, swimming and active skincare ingredients for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid picking or touching the skin unnecessarily during the healing period. Your clinician will provide a tailored post-care guide to take home.
A topical anaesthetic is applied for approximately 30 minutes before your treatment to maximise comfort. Most clients find skin needling very well tolerated once the numbing has taken effect, describing the sensation as a mild pressure or vibration. Your clinician will check in with you throughout to ensure you’re comfortable.
A full-face skin needling appointment takes approximately 60–90 minutes, including numbing time and post-treatment care. Your clinician will confirm your expected appointment duration at the consultation.
Skin Needling is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Please advise your clinician of any changes to your health or medical status before your appointment so we can recommend the most suitable options for you.
