Skin Needling

The number of microneedling treatments required for visible results depends on what condition the skin is in when treatments are begun. Most find that a series of 6 or possibly 10 is needed to see clear changes in the complexion. Most people hoping to tighten and tone their skin will be on track with 6 treatments. Those who are seeking to diminish the depth of scarring generally require a minimum of 8–10 sessions.

Downtime after microneedling is minimal, but you can expect to have several days of pink skin and some sensitivity. There will most likely be pinpoint bleeding during the treatment, which will stop almost immediately. The skin tends to take on a “bronzed” appearance for several days after treatment. This bronzed outer layer of skin will begin to flake off, revealing a fresh and glowing new you underneath. It is recommended that you stay away from the sun and avoid strenuous exercise 14 days following treatment. Additionally, it is recommended that hot showers, baths, hot-tubs and saunas are avoided for about two weeks after microneedling as well.

You may experience a mild warmth or tingling during the treatment, which typically settles quickly after your session. Everyone’s tolerance for discomfort is different; some people don’t mind the unfamiliar sensation and are surprised by the minimal discomfort. Other people may prefer to have numbing cream applied prior to treatment. Most of our derma needling patients rate the pain as 2 out of 10. We’ll check in regularly throughout your session to ensure you feel comfortable.

The best results are achieved by completing a series of treatments with microneedling. Although results vary from person to person, most will experience visible results after their first treatment. Fine lines soften dramatically, and scarring becomes significantly less noticeable. Microneedling has gained a strong reputation for rejuvenating sluggish, dull skin. Skin becomes noticeably clearer, smoother and more radiant.

Whether you’re hoping to address blemishes and sunspots or reduce the appearance of stretch marks, pigmentation, scarring or fine lines, skin needling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a medical-grade pen to trigger the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The small needle is moved across the skin to create tiny, evenly spaced punctures that penetrate the upper epidermal layer to induce a natural and controlled wound healing response that triggers collagen production.

Prior to your skin needling in Sydney, our expert Evolution Laser team will conduct a thorough skin scan to analyse and assess your main beauty concerns.

You may feel slight discomfort, which usually subsides within a few hours.
