Microneedling, also known as dermal needling or Collagen Induction Therapy, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that encourages your body's natural healing response. Using a medical-grade device fitted with fine, sterile needles, tiny controlled microchannels are created in the skin. These stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that help keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful.As new collagen develops, the skin becomes healthier, stronger, and more even in texture. Microneedling is a popular treatment for improving fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality, while maintaining natural-looking results.

Our medical-grade microneedling device has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and skin laxity. The device is FDA cleared and Medsafe listed in New Zealand, providing confidence that your treatment is both safe and supported by clinical evidence.During treatment, thousands of tiny microchannels are created in the skin using ultra-fine sterile needles. These controlled micro-injuries activate your body's natural repair process without causing significant damage to the outer layer of the skin. As part of this healing response, growth factors are released, stimulating the production of fresh collagen and elastin while encouraging healthy new skin cells to form.The treatment also enhances the absorption of professional serums applied immediately afterwards, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin for even greater benefits.With minimal downtime and a relatively quick treatment time, microneedling provides noticeable improvements that continue to develop over the following weeks as your skin naturally regenerates.

Microneedling stimulates your skin's natural ability to repair and rebuild itself by encouraging the production of healthy new collagen. Since collagen forms the structural framework of the skin, increasing its production helps improve both the appearance and overall health of your complexion.Treatment can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soften acne scars, improve uneven skin texture, minimise enlarged pores, reduce pigmentation and sun damage, and restore a brighter, smoother complexion. Many clients also notice firmer, healthier-looking skin and improved skin radiance following a course of treatments.

Although the thought of tiny needles can sound intimidating, most people are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is.Clients commonly describe the sensation as similar to a light scratching or deep exfoliation. Some areas of the face, such as around the forehead, nose, and eyes, can feel slightly more sensitive, but the treatment is generally very well tolerated.Your practitioner will tailor the treatment to your skin and comfort level, ensuring the experience is as comfortable as possible while still achieving excellent results.

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is an excellent option if you're looking to improve concerns such as ageing skin, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, or sun damage. Because the treatment works by stimulating your body's own collagen production, it supports healthier skin regardless of age.Microneedling is not suitable for those with active acne and/or breakouts, and pregnant women.

Microneedling is not recommended while active acne breakouts or inflamed blemishes are present, as treating these areas may increase irritation or spread bacteria across the skin.Once active acne has settled, microneedling is an excellent treatment for improving acne scars, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The increased collagen production also helps strengthen the skin, improve its overall appearance, and may reduce the appearance of enlarged pores over time.If active acne is your primary concern, we'll recommend the most appropriate treatment plan before beginning microneedling.

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments available for improving the appearance of acne scars. By stimulating new collagen beneath the skin, it gradually softens scar tissue, improves texture, and creates a smoother, more even complexion.For some individuals with rosacea, microneedling may also help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of redness over time. As every skin condition is different, your practitioner will assess whether microneedling is appropriate for your individual needs during your consultation.

Professional microneedling is performed using a medical-grade device that creates precise, vertical microchannels at carefully controlled depths within the skin. This allows for consistent treatment, improved safety, and significantly better clinical outcomes.Dermarollers, on the other hand, are designed for home use and use a rolling action across the skin. While they may provide mild superficial benefits, they cannot achieve the same level of precision, penetration, or collagen stimulation as professional microneedling. In-clinic treatments also maintain strict sterilisation standards and are tailored specifically to your skin concerns.

Following your treatment, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to mild sunburn, and may feel warm or slightly tight. This is a completely normal part of the healing process and typically settles within a few hours to a few days.To support optimal healing and achieve the best results, we recommend:Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.Avoid direct sun exposure while your skin heals.Avoid exfoliating products for approximately one week.Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup unless advised otherwise.Avoid swimming pools, spas, saunas, and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.Do not use harsh active skincare products until advised by your practitioner.Follow all aftercare instructions provided during your appointment. If you have any concerns during your recovery, we're always happy to answer your questions and provide advice.

Many clients notice brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin within the first week after treatment. However, because collagen takes time to develop, the most noticeable improvements continue over the following weeks and months.For the best long-term results, we typically recommend a course of four to five treatments spaced approximately four to six weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and desired outcome. Maintaining a consistent treatment plan, along with good skincare and sun protection, will help maximise and prolong your results.Each treatment builds upon the last, helping you achieve healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin naturally over time.
