LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Microneedling treatments stimulate the production of collagen to create smoother, firmer skin. It also reduces acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores and blackheads.
The low down
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment suitable for all skin types 1 – 6. It doesn’t use any form of heat, so it’s a great anti-ageing and resurfacing option for darker skin types.
To achieve your desired result we recommend a minimum of 3-6 treatments depending on the concern. For best value and results, combine our Skin Journeys™ in-clinic treatments with at-home skincare.
After your Microneedling 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. The entire healing process takes 2 to 5 days.
Microneedling treatments can cause some discomfort but aren’t painful. The vibrating effect of the Microneedling interrupts the pain receptors in the skin which makes numbing cream unnecessary. The Microneedling isn’t rolled or dragged across the skin like a dermal roller, so the microscopic punctures it makes are clean, direct and cause little to no pain because there is no tearing of the epidermal layers.
We recommend repeating your Microneedling treatments every 4 weeks until you achieve your desired results. For scar correction an average of 6 – 12 treatments are normally recommended with lasting results commonly seen after six months.

FAQs
Microneedling is a popular skin procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin. As the name suggests, Microneedling uses a small, pen-like tool that delivers multiple tiny punctures to the skin. It may be small in stature, Microneedling is big on results! Microneedling devices are proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, treat acne scars, improve skin texture, minimise pores and provide overall rejuvenation of the skin. And it’s suitable for all skin types.
Microneedling rapidly penetrates the upper layers of the skin to produce tiny micro puncture injuries. This technique helps stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and natural production of the two proteins needed for supple, smooth and youthful skin – collagen and elastin.
Microneedling is a natural, mechanical process which works without the use of chemicals. It helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improve skin tone and refine pores. Acne scarring and redness will also benefit from micro needling, and you can improve overall skin texture and quality. The process also helps the skin to better absorb skincare products for ongoing healthier skin.
Microneedling is not the ideal treatment if you have active breakouts, but it’s ideal once you have cleared your skin because increased collagen and elastin production can improve the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.
Microneedling 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.
Microneedling treatments can cause some discomfort. The vibrating effect of the Microneedling interrupts the pain receptors in the skin which makes numbing cream unnecessary. Microneedling is not rolled or dragged across the skin like a dermal roller, so the microscopic punctures it makes are clean, direct and cause little-to-no pain.
Microneedling is an intensive 20-minute procedure. Results may become visible straight after the procedure, however most clients will require multiple treatments for best results. Some conditions may require three treatments while some like acne scarring usually requires a minimum of 6 treatments.
You should see Microneedling beginning to work as your skin starts to heal within4 to 7 days after your first treatment. Within 4 to 6 weeks you are ready for your next session where the positive results will then begin to become cumulative. The collagen from a Microneedling treatment can continue to be stimulated up to two ears after your treatment.
Microneedling combined with Signature Peel and Mask + LED Light Therapy will work to enhance your results by increasing your skin cell turn over, boosting hydration and collagen product. Our Collagen Kickstarter Skin Journey™ includes Microneedling, Signature Peel and Mask + LED Light Therapy.
