SKIN NEEDLING GEELONG

Stimulate collagen, soften texture, and even skin tone.

Skin needling is a microneedling treatment that stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone. By creating tiny micro-injuries, it promotes the skin’s natural healing process, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. The result is smoother, firmer, and more healthy-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Skin Needling

Skin needling, or microneedling, helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer skin. It is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars (including acne scars), and stretch marks. 

The treatment can also improve skin texture and tone, providing a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Additionally, skin needling can enhance the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective and delivering better results for overall skin health.

How Skin Needling Treatment Works

During a skin needling treatment, a device equipped with fine needles is gently passed over the skin’s surface, creating microscopic punctures or "micro-injuries." These small channels trigger the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Over time, this results in smoother, firmer skin. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and hands, to address a range of skin concerns.

How to Prepare for a Skin Needling Treatment

Before undergoing skin needling, it's important to prepare your skin by avoiding sun exposure, and certain skincare products, such as retinol, for at least a week prior. You should also avoid chemical peels or any treatments that may irritate your skin. On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean skin free from makeup, dirt, and oils. 

You can apply numbing cream to reduce any discomfort during the procedure. This is available to purchase in the clinic or at your closest pharmacy.

What to do after a Skin Needling Treatment

You may experience redness or slight swelling, similar to mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. 

Your clinician will explain all aftercare post skin needling. This includes the use of two SkinPen products to assist with hydration and moisture. For the first 24 hours, avoid any skincare products, aside from these SkinPen products, including the use of cleanser and SPF. As you will not have SPF on the skin, avoid direct sun exposure.

We recommend avoiding strenuous activities that could cause excessive sweating for up to 72 hours. 

No active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A or exfoliants are to be used on the skin for 5-7 days.

FAQs about Skin Needling

Who is a good candidate for skin needling? Plus

Skin needling is suitable for all skin types and tones, and it can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, rosacea, or certain skin conditions.

Are there any side effects from skin needling? Plus

Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, or mild bruising, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Some individuals may also experience slight dryness or flaking in the days following treatment, but these side effects are usually short-lived.

How many treatments are required? Plus

For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. However, some improvement can be seen after just one treatment. The exact number of sessions depends on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes.
