Skin Needling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Collagen induction therapy for smoother, firmer, more even skin.
Overview
Medical skin needling is a clinical collagen induction treatment using advanced micro-needling, designed to boost skin renewal from within. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces scarring, softens fine lines and restores radiance.
Key Benefits
- Smooths texture and refines uneven skin tone
- Reduces the appearance of acne scarring and stretch marks
- Softens fine lines and improves firmness
- Enhances the absorption of corrective serums
How It Works
After a thorough skin assessment and cleansing, a medical-grade numbing cream is applied. Your practitioner then passes a sterile, single-use needling device over the treatment area, creating precise micro-channels. Soothing corrective serums are infused through these channels, and a calming recovery mask finishes the session.
Who Is Suitable
Tailored to your concerns
Acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, mild pigmentation and post-acne marks. Suitable for most skin tones.
Recommended Treatment Course
Your personalised plan
A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, then maintenance sessions as your practitioner advises.

During your session
After a thorough skin assessment and cleansing, a medical-grade numbing cream is applied. Your practitioner then passes a sterile, single-use needling device over the treatment area, creating precise micro-channels. Soothing corrective serums are infused through these channels, and a calming recovery mask finishes the session.
Downtime
24–72 hours of mild redness and warmth, similar to a mild sunflush.
Results timeline
Improvement builds over 4–6 weeks as collagen matures. Optimal results are seen after a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Client Stories
What clients say
Medical Skin Needling
"Was terrified of needling but Dafni talked me through every bit of it. My acne scars have softened so much and my skin's smoother than it's been since my teens. She's got this calming vibe that makes the scary stuff feel fine."
Renee S.
Parkdale, VIC
Medical Skin Needling
"My acne scarring from my teenage years was something I'd given up on. Dafni built a needling plan and actually stuck to it instead of pushing me toward expensive quick fixes. Three sessions and the texture is so much smoother."
Divya R.
Clayton, VIC
Medical Skin Needling
"I have sensitive Asian skin and was worried about needling making it worse. Dafni reassured me and used the right depth. The recovery was easy and my pores and old acne marks have faded so much. She really knows different skin types."

Frequently Asked Questions
A topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes beforehand, so the treatment is generally well tolerated with only mild discomfort.
Most clients see best results after a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. A consultation will confirm your personalised plan.
