Collagen Induction Therapy
Also known as dermal needling, or formerly known as ‘dermal rolling’ when a rolling device was used, dermal needling is one of our most popular treatments in-clinic. A tried-and-tested scientific concept, which has only been further honed and perfected over the years with the continual improvement to the technology of devices we use. By causing thousands of sterile ‘punctures’ to the surface of the skin, the innate healing and repairing responses within the body respond by flooding the skin with healing and repairing nutrients, rebuilding the skin in a more perfected, thicker, more resilient way.
We use the only TGA/FDA-approved medical needling device, the SkinPen.

EXCEED Skin Needling Experience
We are also thrilled to offer our clients an additional option for skin needling, the EXCEED device, which complements the same skin science as the popular skin pen. This alternative is perfect for individuals with time constraints or those seeking treatment for more superficial skin concerns that do not require deep penetration, resulting in minimal downtime.
Developed by Dermaviduals, the EXCEED microneedling tool delivers impressive clinical results while utilizing a shallower penetration into the skin. This means a quicker procedure and less downtime for our valued clients. By creating controlled micro-injuries, the EXCEED device stimulates collagen production and promotes effective skin rejuvenation. Discover the remarkable benefits of this innovative technology, enjoying reduced downtime and exceptional outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of skin needling?
Skin needling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates a process called collagen induction therapy. This may help improve the appearance of acne scarring, enlarged/open pores, fine lines and wrinkles, overall texture, scars following trauma or surgery and Striae (stretch marks) on all areas of the body.
Is the skin needling treatment painful?
The first step in the skin needling process after your comprehensive consultation, is to prepare your skin and ensure comfort cream is applied to ensure your treatment is pleasant and pain-free. Clients describe feeling a 'sunburn' sensation and mildly tender straight after the treatment, however your practitioner will provide you with topical products and appropriate aftercare instructions to ensure the healing process is as comfortable as possible.
How does skin needling work?
A single-use, sterile needle head is attached to the device tip, which houses fourteen tiny sterile needles. Your clinic adjusts the depth to which these tiny needles penetrate the skin, depending on the desired treatment outcome, and then the device is passed over the skin, causing thousands of tiny sterile punctures to the skin surface. These tiny punctures are enough to trigger the inflammatory cascade, a natural response to external trauma, which then leads to the remodelling, rebuilding and restructuring of the cells of your skin. This means rebuilding the skin surface-but in a more perfected, smooth and healthy way!
