If fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture or early signs of ageing are affecting how you feel about your skin, skin needling may offer the improvement you’ve been looking for.
Also known as microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), skin needling supports your skin’s natural renewal process by stimulating collagen and elastin production. At Australian Beauty Clinic in Norwest, our experienced practitioners personalise each treatment to your skin’s condition, concerns and long-term goals, helping you work towards smoother, firmer and more refined-looking skin.
What Can Skin Needling Help Improve?
Skin needling may help improve the appearance of:
- Acne and surgical scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Certain types of pigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Mild loss of firmness
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Fine lines and crepey texture around the eyes
- Stretch marks on suitable areas of the body
What Is Skin Needling?
At Australian Beauty Clinic, treatments are performed using a clinical-grade microneedling device with sterile, single-use needle cartridges. The device creates precise, controlled microchannels at carefully selected depths based on your skin condition, concerns and treatment goals.
This controlled process activates the skin’s natural renewal response, supporting collagen and elastin production to improve the appearance of scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores and loss of firmness. Over time, the skin can appear smoother, stronger and more refined.

If you are unsure which treatment is right for you, begin with a Skin Discovery Session. Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your concerns, skin condition and goals.
Before Your Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation and skin assessment to ensure skin needling is appropriate for you. Your practitioner will personalise the treatment depth and settings according to your skin condition, concerns and goals.
During Your Treatment
A clinical-grade microneedling device is passed across the treatment area to create precise, controlled microchannels within the skin. You may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure, particularly around more delicate areas.
Immediately After Treatment
Your skin may appear red and feel warm, tight or sensitive, similar to mild sunburn. The intensity of this response varies depending on your skin and the treatment depth used.
During Recovery
Mild dryness, sensitivity or flaking may occur over the following days as the skin settles and renews. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare instructions to support recovery and protect your skin.
When Results Develop
Some clients notice improved radiance and smoother-looking skin once the initial redness settles. Improvements associated with collagen production develop gradually over the following weeks and through a recommended treatment series.
Individual recovery times and results will vary.
Skin needling is generally recommended as a planned treatment series to support progressive collagen renewal and visible improvement.
Most clients are advised to have:
- 3 to 6 initial treatments
- Treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
- Maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months
The time between appointments allows the skin’s natural healing and collagen-remodelling processes to progress.
Your practitioner will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition, the severity of your concerns and how your skin responds. Maintenance treatments may then be recommended to help support and sustain your results over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skin needling is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The depth, intensity and technique should be adapted to your skin, treatment area and individual concerns.
Following an assessment, your practitioner may personalise:
- Needle depth for different areas of the face or body
- Treatment intensity according to your skin condition
- The number and direction of treatment passes
- Techniques used for general rejuvenation or targeted concerns
- The approach used around delicate areas, including the eye contour
- Professionally selected treatment solutions, where appropriate
A combination of controlled gliding, layering, cross-hatching or targeted stamping techniques may be used. Areas of scarring, enlarged pores or uneven texture can receive more focused attention, while delicate areas are treated using carefully adjusted settings.
Our aim is to provide the appropriate level of controlled stimulation for your skin without unnecessarily over-treating it. Individual treatment responses and results will vary.
Skin needling is generally considered safe for suitable clients when performed by a trained practitioner using appropriate equipment and hygiene protocols.
Before treatment, we assess your skin, relevant health history, medications and current treatments to determine whether skin needling is appropriate for you.
Skin needling may not be appropriate for everyone. Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided if you have:
- Active, inflamed or infected acne in the treatment area
- An active skin infection, cold sore or open wound
- Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or another inflammatory skin condition that is currently flaring
- A history of keloid or abnormal scarring
- A bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medication
- A condition or medication that affects healing or immune function
- Recently used isotretinoin or other medications that may affect skin healing
- Recently undergone another treatment that has not fully healed
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, depending on the treatment protocol and products being used
Before treatment, we will assess your skin and discuss your relevant health history, medications and recent procedures. Medical clearance may be requested where appropriate.
Temporary redness, warmth, tightness, tenderness and mild swelling are common following skin needling. Some clients may also experience dryness, flaking, pinpoint bleeding or minor bruising as the skin recovers.
Less common risks can include prolonged irritation, infection, temporary changes in skin pigmentation, reactivation of cold sores and scarring.
The likelihood and intensity of side effects vary according to your skin, treatment area, treatment depth and individual healing response. Following the recommended preparation and aftercare instructions can help support recovery, but individual responses and results will vary.
Comfort levels vary between clients and according to the treatment area and intensity. You may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity, particularly when treating delicate or targeted areas.
Your practitioner will explain what to expect before beginning your treatment.
Temporary redness, warmth, tightness or sensitivity may occur following treatment. Mild dryness or flaking may also develop over the following days.
The skin’s response and recovery time vary between clients and according to treatment intensity.
Some clients notice improved radiance and smoother-looking skin once the initial redness settles. Changes associated with collagen production develop gradually over the following weeks and through a recommended treatment series.
Skin needling may be performed on suitable areas around the eye contour to improve the appearance of fine lines and crepey-looking texture.
The delicate eye area will be assessed before treatment to determine suitability and appropriate treatment settings.
Skin needling is not generally performed directly over active, inflamed or infected acne. However, it may be recommended later to improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring once active breakouts are appropriately managed.
