What is skin needling?
Skin microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to treat acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and enlarged pores.
Also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, skin needling employs a hand-held, electrically powered device with tiny needles. These needles make controlled, microscopic punctures on the skin's surface.
The ‘micro-injuries’ induced by skin needling don't lead to scars. Instead, they stimulate the skin to naturally repair itself through a process called dermal remodelling. Skin needling enhances the body's collagen and elastin production, promoting skin regeneration and improved texture.
Skin needling stands out for its ability to revitalise the skin, delivering a smoother, more radiant glow. This technique can be performed on all skin types and requires minimal downtime.
As with all cosmetic treatments, the efficacy of skin needling depends on your skin type, concerns and overall treatment quality. That's why choosing a skilled practitioner is essential for safe and optimal results.
At Aesthetics by Lucy, we carefully analyse your skin type and concerns to ensure a personalised and effective experience.

What to expect before, during and after skin needling
Before
During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your skin concerns and health history.
If you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment, we’ll schedule a session. Be sure to follow our pre-treatment guidelines, which may include avoiding certain skincare products or medications.
During
The treatment area is cleaned and a numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort. You might experience a slight tingling or pricking sensation as we create controlled micro-injuries on your skin.
A microneedling session can last from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the treated area.
After
Expect some redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a day or two.
Minimise sun exposure and follow post-care instructions carefully. Depending on your specific treatment plan, you may have follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure long-term outcomes.
Benefits of skin needling
Boosts collagen production
Collagen is a structural protein that keeps your skin strong and resilient. Ageing reduces collagen, leading to wrinkles. Skin needling addresses this by stimulating the production of fresh collagen, promoting a younger-looking complexion.
Improves skin tone
Skin needling breaks up hyperpigmentation, promoting even skin tone through enhanced cell turnover.
A holistic approach
Whether you’re dealing with scarring or enlarged pores, skin needling is a safe and reliable all-around treatment.
