Skin Needling

What is Skin Needling?

Experience the transformative power of Skin Needling, a cutting-edge treatment that boosts your skin’s natural ability to rejuvenate itself. This revolutionary procedure harnesses your body’s innate healing processes to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Imagine visibly reduced fine lines, diminished acne scars, and a complexion that exudes health and vitality.

Our expert technicians create microscopic channels in your skin, triggering a cascade of regenerative effects. This precision technology stimulates a surge in collagen and elastin production, the building blocks of youthful, radiant skin. To seal in the benefits and leave you with immediate hydration, we conclude your session with a luxurious hydrating mask.

You also have the option to include additional areas such as the neck, chest, or hands. Please add this in the ‘Enhance Your Treatment’ section. The result? A complexion that’s not just improved, but truly transformed.

NOTE: Topical anaesthetic can applied for your comfort. Vitamin C, A and SPF MUST be used for two weeks prior to treatment.

Results:

You will see an improvement in acne and stretch mark scarring, textural irregularities, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and a decrease in pore size. You will also notice improved elasticity leaving a plumper, rejuvenated and youthful skin.

  • Freckles may temporarily lighten or permanently disappear in treated areas.
  • Slight dehydration of the skin which can last up to 5 days.

Potential Risks:

  • Permanent scarring (less than 1% – it is extremely rare).
  • Cold sores flare ups (take an antiviral 3 days prior and 3 days post if you are prone to cold sores).
  • Changes in skin colour – can cause treated skin to become darker or lighter than normal. Changes in skin colour are more common in people who have darker skin types and can be permanent. We do prescribe a Vitamin C and or brightening serum for 4 weeks pre-treatment for clients that are prone to pigmentation to avoid this.

Pre-Treatment Requirements:

DO

  • Prime the skin with Vitamin C & Vitamin A for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment. Research has shown the use of Vitamin C & Vitamin A prior to and throughout the treatment will maximise the results of this skin rejuvenation procedure. The treatment will be more effective, your healing time will be reduced, and the risk of complications will be lessened. For darker skin types you will be required to prep the skin for 4 weeks rather than 2 weeks.
  • Ensure you are applying a Broad-Spectrum SPF daily.

DO NOT

  • Schedule any important event until 1 week after the treatment.
  • Have sun exposure to the area being treated.

Post-Treatment Requirements: 

For the first 72 hours following the treatment:

(After the 72 hours you can then go back to your normal skin routine, but listen to your skin) 

DO

  • Treat the skin gently (stop using wash cloths and facial sponges as to not exfoliate the skin).
  • Use minimal makeup, and if required to wear it, we recommend mineral makeup. Check out our Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics range which is safe to use. You are more prone to infection in the first 24 hours post treatment.
  • Ensure you thoroughly sanitise all makeup brushes / sponges and change your pillowcase, so you are not at risk of infection and/or breakout.
  • Use these recommended treatment products only – Calmwise Cleanser, Hydr8 B5 Intense, Vitamin C (as required throughout the day), Ultimate Recovery Intense Moisturiser (as required throughout the day) & broad-spectrum SPF 50+. You can use your Vitamin A at night still but listen to your skin. If it’s too sensitive drop the Vitamin A for the 3 days post treatment.

DO NOT

  • Expose the skin to sun or tanning devices.
  • Perform excessive exercise, as this could cause more dehydration in the skin and cause infection.

For 2 weeks post treatment:

Avoid further clinical treatments (including but not limited to): microdermabrasion, laser, intense pulse light and or chemical peels.

10 minutes prior to treatment a topical anaesthetic is applied to the area. This will minimise any discomfort during the treatment. Most clients describe the feeling as a bit of pressure and a mild tingling feeling.

Not for the first 24 hours. After that we highly recommend Youngblood which is an Australian owned mineral makeup, safe to be used for the 48 hours post. These products are specifically designed for use post treatment and will even out the skin and provide protection, without causing a breakout. Please ensure you thoroughly sanitise all makeup brushes/ sponges before using them to apply any products after your treatment.

Treatments should be repeated every 1 – 4 weeks in a treatment course, depending on the individual skin concerns and the area of the body being treated.

Skin Needling is unsuitable for pregnant women.

If you struggle with hyperpigmentation, scarring, signs of ageing, volume loss, breakouts, enlarged pores and/or overall dull skin; then skin needling may be the ideal treatment for you. Book a consult with us anytime.

To allow for sufficient healing time, we recommend skin needling be performed at least one week before your event.
