Skin Needling with SkinPen®

Skin needling, also known as microneedling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a specialised device to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These microchannels may support improved product application and assist individuals concerned with skin texture. Results vary.

At Bella Complexion, we use the SkinPen®, a precision microneedling device, which is available only to medical clinics and for use by trained professionals.

A topical numbing cream may be applied prior to treatment to promote comfort. Sessions are typically well tolerated, some individuals choose this treatment as part of their ongoing skin-focused cosmetic routine. Suitability is assessed individually.

A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation to determine whether skin needling aligns with your aesthetic goals.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is skin needling, and how does it work?

Skin needling, also referred to as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating controlled microchannels in the skin using a specialised device. These microchannels may assist in supporting the skin’s natural renewal process and can improve the absorption of skincare products.

At Bella Complexion, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment for comfort. After the procedure, a soothing mask is used to hydrate and refresh the skin.

What are the potential benefits of skin needling?

Skin needling is often selected by clients aiming to support:

  • A smoother and more refined skin surface
  • The appearance of firmer-looking skin
  • A more even skin tone and texture
  • Enhanced absorption of skincare products

Individual experiences may vary, and a tailored treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.

What is the expected downtime or recovery?

You may experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn for 24–48 hours following the procedure. Most clients resume their usual activities shortly after. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF50 post-treatment to help maintain skin protection.

How many sessions are recommended?

For best results, your practitioner may recommend a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on your skin goals and concerns. This will be assessed during your consultation.
