Skin Needling

Skin needling is a non-invasive treatment that restores and rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin formation to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, tighten and improve elasticity, shrink enlarged pores, minimise scarring, and assists with the management of pigmentation and ageing skin.

Used to treat the face, neck and décolletage, this treatment is ideal for skin that is just beginning to show the signs of ageing or is dull and lacking radiance.

Starts from $295 for one area, for example the face, neck or décolletage.

Skin needling penetrates the top layer of skin with micro-needles that create pin-point injuries in the deeper layers. This then triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation.

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

Results are visible after six weeks and last for up to one to three months. Regular treatments will help to maintain the best results.
