Skin Needling
Skin needling stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, minimizes scars, enhances absorption of skincare products, reduces stretch marks, and contributes to overall skin rejuvenation.
What to expect
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to your cleansed skin before the procedure. Then, our specialist will use a hand-held device equipped with thin needles to create micro-injuries on the skin.
These injuries trigger the body’s healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. This helps heal damaged skin cells, improves the appearance of problematic skin conditions and leaves your skin looking smooth and rejuvenated.

What is skin needling?
Skin needling leverages the body’s natural healing response to stimulate increased collagen production, which rapidly heals and regenerates damaged skin. This procedure can diminish wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks and surgical scars.
This treatment can be safely applied to several areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen and chest. Contact us today to find out more about skin needling in Wollongong and determine if it’s the right choice for your skincare goals.

FAQs
What skin concerns can be treated with skin needling?
Dermapen treatments can address a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, and more.
How many skin needling sessions do I need?
The number of treatments required depends on your skin concern and the severity of the condition. Our Dermal Therapists will discuss a recommended treatment plan during your consultation.
Will I need to follow a special skincare routine after my treatment?
Yes, our Dermal Therapists will provide recommendations for home care to enhance the effects of the skin needling treatment and ensure optimal results.
Does skin needling hurt?
During the procedure, you might feel some pressure or a light scratching sensation. However, with the topical numbing cream applied beforehand, any discomfort is usually minimal and easily manageable.
Who should not get skin needling?
You should avoid skin needling treatments if you have active acne, skin infections, eczema, psoriasis or severe rosacea. It’s best to wait until these conditions are fully resolved before undergoing treatment.
Pregnant women are also advised to avoid clinical skin needling due to hormonal changes that can affect skin sensitivity and healing.
How long do results typically last?
Skin needling results can last for several months, especially when combined with a proper skincare routine and follow-up treatments every two to six weeks. The longevity of these results is influenced by your skin’s natural cellular turnover cycle and how long newly produced collagen remains in the skin.
What skin improvements will I see with skin needling?
Skin usually appears radiant and smoother almost immediately after a microneedling session. About six weeks post-treatment, you’ll notice significant reductions in scarring and fine lines.
How is skin needling different from fractional RF?
Fractional RF (radio frequency) combines traditional skin needling with RF energy. This combination heats the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production while providing skin-tightening benefits.
Fractional RF is more appropriate for pronounced wrinkle reduction and addressing deeper skin concerns. However, the treatment may result in longer-lasting redness and swelling compared to clinical skin needling.
