Skin Needling

Skin needling works with your skin, not against it. It activates your skin’s own repair process, prompting new collagen production from within, letting results build gradually over a course of treatments.

Every appointment at our Melbourne skin clinic starts with a thorough skin assessment and an honest conversation about your concerns and goals.

WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING

Understanding skin needling

Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is one of the skin treatments we offer to improve concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, scarring, and overall skin quality. The treatment creates tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate its natural repair process, encouraging new collagen and elastin production from within.

Unlike more intensive resurfacing treatments, it doesn’t require any ablative downtime. Results develop gradually as your skin renews itself between treatments. Many clients notice improvements in texture and clarity within the first few weeks. Skin tone, firmness, and overall quality continue to improve throughout a recommended course of treatment.

HOW IT HELPS

What skin needling can help with

Skin needling works progressively, with results that build across a course of sessions rather than appearing all at once. It is particularly well suited to concerns that respond to consistent collagen rebuilding over time.

Skin texture and tone

Skin needling improves texture, tone, and overall skin clarity by stimulating collagen production. Many clients notice smoother, brighter skin within the first few treatments, with results continuing to develop over time.

Fine lines and early ageing

As collagen and elastin production increases, fine lines gradually soften and skin feels firmer, helping to reduce the early signs of ageing.

Acne scarring

Acne scars can become less noticeable as skin needling remodels the tissue beneath the skin barrier, improving overall texture. A personalised treatment plan may include skin needling alongside chemical peels to target deeper or more complex scarring.

Pigmentation

Uneven pigmentation can improve over a course of treatments as increased cell turnover helps create a clearer, more even complexion.

Enlarged pores

As collagen strengthens the skin, enlarged pores often appear less noticeable, leaving the skin looking smoother and more refined.

Overall skin health

Regular skin needling supports stronger, healthier skin and helps maintain long-term skin quality. For clients seeking greater skin rejuvenation, it can also be combined with Rejuran to enhance the regenerative benefits.

The Process

What to expect

Every appointment follows the same general process, with your treatment tailored to your skin. This is what you can expect.

  1. Consultation and skin assessment

    At our Hawthorn skin clinic, we begin by assessing your skin, discussing your concerns, and understanding what you would like to achieve. This helps us confirm that skin needling is the right treatment for you.

  2. Skin preparation

    Your skin is cleansed before a topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment. We allow enough time for it to take full effect before we begin.

  3. Treatment

    A specialised device is passed over the treatment area to create tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates your skin’s natural repair process while remaining comfortable for most clients.

  4. Post-treatment care

    A soothing serum is applied after your treatment. We then go through your aftercare before you leave, so you know exactly what to expect over the next day or two.

  5. Follow-up and review

    Skin needling delivers the best results as part of a treatment plan. We assess your skin at each appointment and adjust your treatment as your skin continues to improve.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Preparation and aftercare

A little preparation before your appointment, along with the right aftercare, helps your skin recover well and supports the best possible results.

Before your treatment

Preparing your skin in the days leading up to your appointment helps reduce sensitivity and supports a smoother recovery.
  • Avoid retinol, AHAs, and BHAs for 48 hours before your treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least one week beforehand.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin where possible.
  • Let us know about any medications, recent treatments, or active skin conditions during your consultation.

After your treatment

Your skin will continue to repair and renew itself after treatment. Some redness and sensitivity are expected, but following the right aftercare helps support your results.
  • Keep your skin hydrated and apply SPF 50+ every day.
  • Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other active skincare ingredients for at least three days.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours.
  • Follow any personalised aftercare advice provided during your appointment.
