If you’ve ever felt like your skin looks uneven, dull or textured no matter how many products you try, you’re not alone. One of the most effective ways to support smoother, healthier-looking skin is through skin needling also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy.
This minimally invasive treatment has become a favourite for clients looking to improve skin texture, reduce scarring and stimulate natural collagen production, all without harsh chemicals or long recovery times.
What is Skin Needling?
Skin needling works by using a device with very fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity.
As your skin repairs itself, you may notice improvements in:
- Texture and tone
- Acne scarring and enlarged pores
- Fine lines and early ageing
- Overall brightness and smoothness
It’s a treatment that works from the inside out, with results that develop gradually as your skin renews itself.
What Does it Feel Like?
At That Face Place, skin needling is performed by our trained cosmetic nurses using medical-grade devices in a clean, clinical environment. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.
You may experience some redness, sensitivity or light flaking in the days following treatment but this is all part of the natural renewal process. Most clients return to their normal routine within 24 to 48 hours.
Can it Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Absolutely. One of the most popular combinations is skin needling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) often called the Vampire Facial. The microchannels created during skin needling help your PRP absorb more effectively, enhancing its regenerative benefits.
Skin needling also works beautifully alongside:
- Rejuran, for added skin healing and hydration
- LED therapy, to support post-treatment recovery
- Advanced facials, for regular skin maintenance between sessions
Your cosmetic nurse will guide you on the best combination based on your skin type and goals.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most clients see noticeable improvements after 2 to 3 sessions, although your skin will continue to improve for weeks after each one. For deeper concerns like scarring or pigmentation, a course of 4 to 6 treatments may be recommended.
Maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain your results over time.
Is Skin Needling Right for You?
Skin needling is suitable for most skin types and is especially effective if you:
- Feel your skin looks dull or uneven
- Have mild acne scarring or fine lines
- Want to support natural collagen without injectables
- Prefer a treatment with minimal downtime and lasting benefits
Every treatment at That Face Place starts with a personalised consultation, so we can assess whether skin needling is the right fit — or recommend other options better suited to your skin needs.
