Skin Needling: Treatment Planning & Results

Skin needling is one of the most effective treatments for long-term skin transformation — but great results don’t happen overnight. Here’s what you can expect in terms of timing, results, and your ideal treatment plan.

 

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your concern:

  • Acne scarring or deep texture: 4–6 sessions
  • Pigmentation or sun damage: 3–5 sessions
  • Fine lines, pores, dullness: 3 sessions for maintenance
  • Stretch marks or body scarring: 6+ sessions

Every skin is different, your therapist will personalise your plan after assessing your skin. For best results, we typically space treatments every 4 weeks. We recommend consistent monthly Skin Needling treatments once your concerns have been addressed to continue to improve and maintain your results. 

 

When will I see results?

Some clients notice a glow within a few days, but true results develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as collagen rebuilds and skin regenerates.

Expect improvement in:

  • Skin texture and smoothness
  • Pore size
  • Pigmentation clarity
  • Scarring depth
  • Firmness and bounce

Results are cumulative — each session builds on the last.

 

Is one session enough?

One treatment can achieve dramatic results, but skin needling works best as a consistent treatment. Collagen takes time to remodel, and real change happens over consistent treatments.

We’ll always recommend a course based on your skin goals — whether that’s scarring, ageing, pigmentation, or all of the above.

 

Do I need to do this forever?

No — think of skin needling like a workout for your skin. Once you've completed your initial course, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help preserve results long-term.

 

Can I alternate this with other treatments?

Absolutely. In fact, combining treatments is often the fastest path to great skin. We may alternate needling with:

  • RF Needling (for lifting, tightening and advanced ageing and pigment conerns)LED light therapy (for healing and inflammation)
  • Herbal peels or Blemiderm (for active breakouts)
  • LED light therapy (for healing and inflammation)

We’ll guide you on what to combine and when.
