Microneedling, also known as skin needling, creates thousands of microchannels that automatically stimulate your skin's natural healing response, while minimising cellular damage. This is going to assist in the rejuvenation of your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
At Rejuved, we use SkinPen to give your skin the reset that it needs. The treatment involves a thorough consultation, a full cleanse of the skin and a topical anaesthetic for 20 minutes to allow optimal comfort during the treatment. A sterile device is then used to penetrate the skin up to 2.5mm in length, depending on the client's skin concern.
To start your treatment plan in Bateau Bay, book via our online link. We recommend a complimentary skin consultation for all new clients.
The ideal treatment plan is a minimum of four sessions, spaced every 4-6 weeks for optimum results. A take home SkinFuse product kit will be included in this treatment.
Immediately following your procedure, you may experience a tight, tingling sensation, mild swelling, redness and minor peeling of the skin around the perioral region. This will subside over 5-7 days post treatment. During this downtime, it is important to avoid sun exposure, makeup, AHA’s and BHA’s, retinols and physical exfoliation of the skin.

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types, including darker skin tones, which are sometimes at higher risk of hyperpigmentation with other types of skin resurfacing procedures. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, eczema or rosacea, might be advised to avoid microneedling. It's important to consult with an aesthetician to determine if microneedling is the right option for your skin type and condition.
Before a microneedling session, consult with your therapist to discuss goals and medical history. Avoid sun exposure and discontinue use of exfoliating skincare products beforehand. Keep skin hydrated and avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements. Follow any additional instructions provided by your skincare professional. These preparations ensure skin is in prime condition for microneedling, helping to promote better results and a smoother recovery process.
Microneedling is generally not considered painful; however, the level of discomfort can vary among individuals. Your therapist will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure to minimise any discomfort.
The timeline for seeing results from microneedling can vary depending on individual skin types and concerns. Some people may notice improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days to a week after their first treatment. The full effects of microneedling typically become apparent over the course of several weeks to months as collagen production increases and the skin's natural healing process takes place. Your therapist can provide guidance on expected timelines based on your goals.
