Skin Needling

Skin needling uses fine micro-needles to create controlled, superficial punctures in the skin. This process is designed to support the skin’s natural renewal processes, including areas where collagen and elastin are naturally present.

Skin needling is used to treat the face, neck and décolletage.

Some effects may be noticed following treatment. The frequency and timing of sessions can vary depending on individual skin type and needs and ongoing treatments may be part of a personalised skin care plan.

• Prime your skin two weeks prior with vitamin A, vitamin C and other growth factor serums 
• Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for two weeks prior 
• Cease blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, omega-oils, multivitamins, vitamin B, vitamin E and glucosamine for one week prior to minimise the risk of bruising 
• Men are to be clean shaven prior to treatment

Advise your clinician if you: 

• Are taking topical antibiotics for acne (will need to cease two weeks prior to treatment) 
• Have active sunburn, solar keratosis or tan  
• Have cosmetic body implants  
• Are taking arrhythmia medications (will need to cease prior to treatment) 
• Have an auto-immune disorder 
• Are taking blood thinners (aspirin, Warfarin, ibuprofen, fish oils, ginkgo biloba and alcohol), photosensitisers, and/or antidepressants (consult with client’s general practitioner prior to treatment) 
• Have received cosmetic injectable treatments in the past 14 days or electrolysis in the past week 

Prior to your first treatment, your clinician will consult with you to assess your suitability for skin needling and discuss any concerns or questions you may.  

The treatment involves our clinician making small punctures to the outermost layers of your skin with pin-point needles.  An anaesthetic agent will be applied to minimise discomfort throughout the treatment.
