Skin Needling

At Allure Derma, we offer skin needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) to support skin texture, tone, and firmness using clinically guided techniques. This treatment involves controlled micro-injuries to the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and encourage new collagen formation.

​

Skin needling is suitable for a wide range of concerns, with each treatment tailored to your skin type, goals and medical history following a detailed consultation.

​

What Skin Needling May Help With

Skin needling may be considered for the following concerns:

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing

• Mild acne scarring and uneven texture

• Enlarged pores

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• Mild pigmentation or sun-related changes

• General skin firmness and elasticity

 

Treatments are performed using sterile, single-use medical-grade cartridges in a safe, hygienic setting.

 

What to Expect

After skin needling, you may experience temporary redness and sensitivity, similar to mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24–72 hours depending on your skin response and treatment depth.

Improvements are generally progressive, with results becoming more noticeable over a series of sessions. A treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.

 

Combination Options

Skin needling may be combined with other treatments (such as LED light therapy or targeted skincare) to support results and recovery. All combination plans are based on clinical assessment and individual needs.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Is skin needling painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to enhance comfort during treatment.

​

How many sessions will I need?

A course of 3–6 treatments is often recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This depends on your skin concern and how your skin responds to treatment. Your practitioner will guide you through a personalised plan.

​

What is the downtime after skin needling?

Downtime is usually minimal. You may notice redness, tightness or mild swelling for 1–3 days. Some clients experience light flaking. Most return to regular activities within 24–48 hours.

​

Can skin needling be used on all skin types?

Yes, skin needling is generally safe for most skin types when performed by a trained professional. Suitability is always confirmed through consultation to ensure safety and avoid risks.

​

Are there any side effects?

Temporary redness, sensitivity or dryness is common. Less commonly, pinpoint bleeding, bruising or flaking may occur. Serious side effects are rare when protocols are followed. Pre- and post-care instructions will be provided to minimise risks.

​

How should I care for my skin after treatment?

• Avoid direct sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily

• Use only gentle, non-active skincare products for 2–5 days

• Avoid heat exposure (saunas, heavy exercise) for 1–2 days

• Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner

​

Can skin needling treat deep acne scars or pigmentation?

Skin needling can support mild acne scarring and surface irregularities. However, for deeper scars or stubborn pigmentation, combination treatments may be recommended, or referral to a specialist may be advised.
