Skin Needling

Skin needling is a popular, non-surgical treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural repair process, boosting collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, healthy skin. It’s highly effective for improving fine lines, acne scars, skin texture, enlarged pores, and pigmentation, leaving your skin looking smoother, rejuvenated, and more even-toned. Skin needling is suitable for all skin types and tones and offers visible results with minimal downtime. We also offer Secret RF - a microneedling option with the power of radiofrequency. Our team will discuss which treatment will better suit your specific concerns.

Skin Needling

How Does It Work?

We use a medical grade skin needling device to gently create controlled micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. These micro-channels trigger a natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen production and improving skin tone and texture from the inside out.

Serums such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors are often infused during the treatment, enhancing hydration and speeding up recovery.

Treatments usually take 20–30 minutes, and you may notice some redness or mild swelling afterwards, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients experience only 24–48 hours of downtime.

Who Is It For?

Skin needling is ideal for those wanting to address acne scarring, uneven skin tone or pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks.

It’s suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and mature skin. However, it’s not recommended for those with  certain skin conditions. We’ll assess your skin during your consultation to ensure it’s a suitable treatment for you.

What to Expect

Your appointment will begin with a skin cleanse and consultation. The needling process itself takes around 20–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

You may feel slight pressure or a vibrating sensation, but most clients find it very manageable. Afterward, your skin will likely appear red and flushed, with a warm, tight feeling, similar to mild sunburn.

This typically settles within a day or two. We’ll provide aftercare advice, including what to avoid (like makeup or heat exposure) and how to support healing with hydration and SPF. You’ll start to see improvements within 1–2 weeks, with best results after a series of treatments.

FAQs

1. How many sessions will I need?
For optimal results, we usually recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns, acne scarring may require more sessions than general rejuvenation.

2. Is skin needling painful?
Some clients will have very mild discomfort, pressure or tingling during your session. Post-treatment, your skin may feel warm and tight for a few hours.

3. Can I wear makeup afterwards?
It’s best to avoid makeup for the first 48 hours while your skin heals. Once the redness subsides, mineral makeup is usually safe to use.

4. Is there downtime?
Skin will be red and slightly swollen for 1 – 2 days. Some clients experience light flaking or dryness as the skin renews. Most people return to daily activities the next day.

5. What areas can be treated?
The most common areas are the face, neck, and decolletage, but skin needling can also treat scarring and stretch marks on the body, such as the stomach or thighs.
