Microneedling & Skin Needling Melbourne

Microneedling — also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy — is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment performed by our dermatology team at Define Dermatology Aesthetics in Melbourne.

Using a device with fine sterile needles, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, which may activate the body’s natural healing response and support collagen and elastin production.

We recommend booking a consultation so our team can assess whether microneedling is the right option for your skin.

What conditions may microneedling be used for?

Microneedling may be considered for patients with the following skin concerns:

  • Acne scarring and post-surgical scars
  • Fine lines and skin texture irregularities
  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • General skin rejuvenation concerns

Each patient is assessed individually to determine suitability.

What are the potential benefits of skin needling?

For suitable patients, microneedling may support:

  • Collagen and elastin activity in the skin
  • Improved skin texture and pore appearance
  • Reduced visibility of acne scarring and scars
  • Enhanced absorption of topical skin treatments
  • Overall skin tone and clarity

Results vary between individuals.

What can you expect after treatment?

After microneedling or skin needling, it is normal to experience:

  • Redness (erythema) lasting 24–48 hours
  • Mild swelling for 24–48 hours
  • Dryness or flaking for up to 7 days
  • Occasional mild bruising

Your practitioner will give you personalised aftercare instructions at the time of your appointment.

How many sessions may be needed?

This varies depending on your skin concerns and individual response to treatment. A series of sessions is commonly discussed, typically spaced around 4 weeks apart.

Your dermatologist will outline a personalised plan during your consultation.
