Microneedling

Microneedling (also referred to as skin needling) is a collagen-induction treatment used to improve skin texture, scarring and overall skin quality through controlled micro-injury.

Treatment selection and intensity are based on individual skin condition, tolerance and recovery capacity, and are incorporated conservatively within broader treatment plans.

What this Treatment Involves

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate repair and collagen production.

Treatments are performed using the Dermapen 4, a medical-grade microneedling device, with depth, speed and treatment parameters selected based on clinical assessment rather than fixed protocols.

Who this is for

  • Textural irregularities

  • Acne scarring

  • Fine lines or early skin ageing

  • Clients seeking gradual skin quality improvement

Microneedling is not suitable for all skin presentations and may be deferred or modified depending on skin condition.

What to expect

  • Treatment depth and intensity adjusted based on skin assessment

  • Sensation varies depending on treatment parameters

  • Mild redness or sensitivity may occur following treatment

  • Recovery time varies depending on skin response and treatment depth

Treatment Progression

Microneedling is typically performed as part of a treatment series, with spacing and progression determined by skin response and recovery.

More intensive settings are not always appropriate at an initial visit and may be introduced gradually where clinically indicated.
