If you’re looking for a treatment to smooth, firm and rejuvenate the skin, skin needling may be a suitable option. Able to target a range of skin concerns, skin needling (also known as micro needling in Melbourne) is a popular skin treatment that works by stimulating production of collagen within the skin. The Greville Clinic offers skin needling using advanced devices such as the DermaFrac skin needling device, the Exceed Medical Pen and the Venus Viva. Organise a consultation today to discuss your skin concerns and find out if you’re a suitable candidate for skin needling treatment.
Skin needling involves using a special device that punctures the skin with very fine needles, helping to boost the skin’s production of collagen. This assists with tightening and smoothing of the skin. During the treatment, hydrating and soothing serums are also infused into the skin, helping to reduce post-treatment inflammation and improve healing times.
Depending on why you’re getting skin needling in Melbourne, the recommended number of treatment sessions can vary. If you’re seeking general rejuvenation of the skin, 3-4 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart may provide the results you desire. Results can accumulate over time with each session, but you should notice improvements after your first treatment.
At The Greville Clinic, we offer treatment with three different devices, each of which can stimulate collagen and achieve results for up to 12 months.
We use the DermaFrac skin needling device as an alternative to the Dermapen in Melbourne. This device allows for four different serum types to be infused into the skin: Hydrate (hydrates the skin to reduce lines and wrinkles), Clarify (exfoliates and clears clogged pores to reduce breakouts), Rejuvenate (contains active ingredients that boost collagen production), and Lighten (restricts melanocyte activity to help lighten skin and minimise the appearance of pigmentation).
This device allows for treatment at a deeper level. The Exceed Medical Pen is registered with the TGA and is used with disposable needling tips. It’s been clinically proven to achieve results for acne scarring.
The Venus Viva combines medical needling and radio frequency in one to target scarring, stretch marks and loose skin. This treatment can cause more discomfort than other options, however numbing cream is available to reduce pain.
Skin needling on the body can have a range of benefits for the skin. Our skin needling treatment in South Yarra can help to:
The needling devices we use for body skin needling may cause some discomfort. The Venus Viva device can be a more painful option, but we will apply a topical anaesthetic cream prior to the treatment to reduce the sensation.
