Skin Needling

Skin needling, also called fractional mesotherapy, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that may help brighten your complexion and revive tired skin. The procedure involves gently pricking the skin with tiny needles to stimulate the lower dermal layers, stimulating blood flow and collagen for a rejuvenated look and feel. While most people enjoy the treatment on their face, you can get skin needling anywhere on the body that may need a collagen boost.

How Our Skin Needling Works to Improve Your Skin’s Surface

During treatment we use specialised tools with fine, sterile needles that make tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin. The pricking sensation stimulates your body’s healing response, sending collagen and elastin to the skin’s surface to rebuild the broken skin.

This increase in skin-building proteins can help smooth wrinkles and repair pre-existing skin damage for a more even texture and tone. We also apply a serum to your face after your skin needling treatment that absorbs into the dermis and targets dark spots, dryness, and other skin concerns.

The Benefits of Skin Needling

We model our fractional mesotherapy treatments on dermatological studies that suggest there may be many advantages to skin needling. Most of our patients report positive results with regular treatment, such as:

  • Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

  • Improved skin texture, including reduction of enlarged pores.

  • Lighter acne scars and stretch marks.

  • Tighter and plumper-looking skin.

  • Faded dark spots and a more even skin tone.

What To Expect During a Skin Needling Session With Us

Our trained aestheticians ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed during skin needling. This skin treatment is minimally invasive, virtually painless, and typically completed within an hour. First, we’ll apply a numbing gel to the skin to get you ready for the session, then we glide a tool around your face, allowing the tiny needle points to prick your skin and activate collagen production.

The sensation may feel unusual at first, but you should be used to it by the end of the 20-minute treatment. We’ll apply a soothing serum after the needling, allowing it to soak into your skin for another 20 to 30 minutes, leaving it fresh and glowing for the rest of the day.

Is Skin Needling Safe?

Skin needling is considered safe and effective for many skin concerns, including sun damage, scarring, and stretch marks. We always use sterilised equipment and gentle serums to ensure the best outcome from your skin needling treatment, however, it can cause minor irritation if you have sensitive skin or underlying conditions such as psoriasis or eczema. Skip retinol creams and exfoliation the night before your skin needling appointment if you’re worried about sensitivity.
