For the first five days post-treatment, or until all post-treatment skin reactions have fully settled, it’s important to support your skin with the following care:
Use only a gentle cleanser morning and night.
Apply a moisturiser or your prescribed post-treatment product as directed.
Avoid direct sun exposure. When outdoors, wear a broad-brimmed hat and apply (and reapply) SPF 50 sunscreen throughout the day.
Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or any heat-based wellness treatments for at least 48 hours.
Following these guidelines will help optimise your results and support a smooth recovery.

Skin needling is a treatment that helps improve the appearance and texture of your skin by stimulating its natural healing process. Using a device with tiny, vibrating needles, it creates controlled micro-injuries that prompt your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin.

Initially developed in the 1990s, it’s commonly used to soften scars, smooth texture, reduce discolouration, and support firmer, more resilient skin, all without relying on heat or light, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.

Skin needling may be recommended to treat scarring, visible pores, expression lines, or to improve overall skin tone and texture. It’s often used as an alternative when laser treatments aren’t suitable due to skin type or downtime. The treatment can be customised to target specific areas or performed across the whole face, neck, and chest for a more comprehensive result.

Skin needling may not be suitable if any of the following apply:
Pregnancy.
Use of certain medications, including oral isotretinoin, oral steroids, or blood-thinning medications.
Immune-compromised conditions (e.g. HIV, lupus, poorly managed diabetes).
Active cold sores, skin cancer, infections, open wounds, or burns.
History of keloid formation, excessive scarring, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Inability to take downtime or tolerate discomfort

Skin needling works by creating tiny, controlled injuries in the skin using a specialised device with ultra-fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural wound-healing process — a three-phase response that includes inflammation, repair, and regeneration. As the skin repairs itself, it begins to produce fresh collagen and elastin, clears away damaged cells, and supports improvements in tone, texture, and firmness over time.

Discomfort is common, particularly across the forehead. You’ll likely feel the vibration of the device and a warming sensation as your skin responds. Areas of focus, such as scarring, pigmentation, or fine lines, may feel more tender both during and after treatment.

To ensure the best possible outcome from your Skin Needling treatment, please follow the guidelines below.
If you are prone to cold sores, consider using an over-the-counter antiviral prophylactic.
Discontinue topical Vitamin A products for up to two weeks before your appointment

Downtime typically lasts five to seven days, depending on the treatment area. During this time, you may experience:
Moderate to significant redness immediately post-treatment.
Dryness and flaking as the skin renews.
Responses may vary depending on the intensity of the treatment and your skin’s tolerance, and will be discussed with you before treatment. Your clinician will follow up after your first session, and we encourage you to contact the clinic if you experience any responses that are outside of the expected range.
Results, downtime and treatment response will vary from person to person.

To address specific concerns, we recommend a minimum of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by a review. Your clinician will assess and tailor the treatment schedule to your skin's specific needs.
