Skin-needling treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to create smoother, firmer skin. This powerhouse treatment can help treat:
Acne scarring
Stretch marks
Fine lines
Pigmentation
Rosacea
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone
-
Skin Needling works by making thousands of micro-punctures on the skin, lifting and firming, improving skin tone and smoothing away fine lines and acne scars and increasing permeability of topical products.
During the treatment, you will feel slight pressure and a prickling sensation as the device moves across the treatment area. Treatment is fast, so any discomfort is short-lived and tolerable. Warmth and slight tingling are normal.
-
This treatment will require a consultation prior to create a tailored preparation plan based on your skin type and skin concern. Adhering to your preparation plan is key to achieving the best results.

After your Skin Needling treatment, your skin may appear flushed, with slight redness and possible mild swelling. You may also experience light flaking. But don’t worry most of the redness and swelling should subside within 24 hours.
Avoid picking the skin and apply moisturiser 2-3 times per day to keep hydration levels up.
Your skin will be extra sensitive so please keep out of the sun for at least two weeks before and two weeks after the procedure. This will help to obtain optimum results and reduce post-treatment complications.
We do not advise the use of sunscreen immediately after the procedure as the skin channels are completely open and will absorb anything that is applied. However, you can apply sunscreen once the skin has healed over, approximately 24 hours after your treatment.
Avoid heat-related activities such as sauna, sunbathing hot showers/baths and exercising for a minimum of 24 hours post-treatment.
This procedure will leave your skin in a sensitive state, so we recommend that you avoid all skin care products that contain any kind of “active ingredients” such as retinol, alpha hydroxyl acids, and vitamin C. You can incorporate these products back into your regime 3-5 days after your treatment, or as recommended by your Dermal therapist.
Frequently asked…
-
Skin Needling is considered safe for all skin types and requires little to no downtime post- treatment. However, it is not recommended in conjunction with some acne medications or if you have psoriasis, eczema, open wounds, active cystic acne or keloid scarring, or if you are pregnant.
-
Both treatments are effective at exfoliating the skin. Where dermaplaning uses a handheld blade to remove dead skin cells, microdermabrasion uses a small machine that provides a diamond tip exfoliation and suction at the same time. Microdermabrasion is a more intensive exfoliating treatment and is more effective where a deeper clean is desired.
Microdermabrasion however is unable to remove vellus hair and therefore cannot achieve the same smooth hairless result that dermaplaning provides.
-
Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types and is most suited to clients who have dull skin with the appearance of fine vellus hairs. It’s also safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mums.
-
No. Dermaplaning works by gliding with your hair growth rather than against it. By doing this we are able to remove fine vellus hair and debris from the skin without stimulating or encouraging thicker or darker hair to regrow. Hair will regrow similarly to what you had previously.

LED light therapy is included in the price of our skin needling and dermaplaning treatments.
