Skin Needling
Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that helps rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is designed to improve the overall texture and tone of your skin, making it an excellent option for those looking to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
Key Benefits of Skin Needling
Skin needling offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation.
The Treatment: Skin Needling
Numbing Cream
Our experienced dermal clinician will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Needling
The skin needling device is then carefully passed over the targeted areas, creating the micro-injuries necessary to stimulate collagen production.
How long does it take?
The treatment typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After Skin Needling
After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.
Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the treatment.

Yes, skin needling is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. The procedure is minimally invasive, and the risk of complications is low. However, it is important to follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of side effects.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during skin needling. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to minimise any pain. Some patients may feel a slight tingling or prickling sensation during the treatment, but it is usually well-tolerated.
The number of sessions required varies depending on your individual skin concerns and goals. Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. During your consultation, your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Skin needling requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two. However, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and certain skincare products for a few days post-treatment.
Results from skin needling are not immediate, as the treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. You may begin to notice improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen continues to build.
Before your skin needling session, it’s advisable to avoid using any exfoliating products or treatments, such as retinol or AHAs, for a few days. You should also stay out of direct sun and avoid tanning. Your practitioner will provide specific instructions tailored to your needs during your consultation.
