What Is Skin Needling?
Here at Sueperb, I provide skin needling to clients in Perth who are looking to address a multitude of different skin conditions. I use the high grade, professional, TGA approved Micro-Needling tool for all needling treatments. Skin needling might sound a little scary! So what is it, exactly?
There are a few terms given to this incredible method of skin improvement.
Skin needling is sometimes referred to as Micro-Needling or Collagen Stimulation Therapy. It was first discovered in the 1900s by surgeons wanting to improve the blood supply to scar tissue. It was then developed in the mid-1990s to the method we use today. Skin needling is a clinically proven method for rejuvenating your skin, which has very little down time. It’s a highly effective procedure that naturally stimulates the skins own healing ability by creating mini ‘perforations’ in the skin. These perforations allow the absorption of hydrating skin care products.
What Are The Benefits of Skin Needling / Micro-Needling?
Did you know only 2-5% of the nutrients we ingest actually reach our skin? Therefore, it’s easy for the skin to become dehydrated, dull and look unhealthy. Skin needling causes a natural immune response that stimulates the blood supply to the surface of the skin. It also increases collagen and elastin production from within the layers of your skin. This is particularly relevant to support our skin’s structure. Collagen molecules are larger than the surface of our skin would normally allow to penetrate, so stimulating your own production is a super-effective way of improving the look and structure of your skin.
All skin types will benefit from this rejuvenating procedure as it works in harmony with your skins own healing ability.

A precise Skin Care Regime is necessary to obtain maximum results. I recommend the Adult Stem Cell with S²RM® Technology from NeoGenesis.
Professional Skin Needling
I use only professional grade equipment and scientifically backed skin care products. Skin Needling works by oscillating micro-needles into the surface skin. This essentially creates tiny micro-injuries which encourages natural stem cell production, increases surface blood flow and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
What To Expect During Your Skin Needling Appointment
As a trained Skin Integrity Champion through the University of Queensland, I am able to assess the fundamental requirements of your skin. This means I have a very strong understanding of skin, and am able establish the cause of your skin concerns. It is generally necessary to have a series of 4-6 treatments with a 4, 6 or 8 week gap between each session. This varies depending on the requirements of your skin.
After an initial consult to discuss your concerns, I undertake a thorough inspection of your skin. Before commencing needling, your skin will be cleansed and prepared with a high quality hyaluronic gel. This acts as a slip and deeply hydrates your skin.
Your skin will be treated in structured sections for approximately 1 hour. For facial treatments, this finishes with a soothing massage.
Afterwards, your skin is treated with patented Human Stem Cell skin care from Neogenesis to promote healing and rejuvenation.
A topical anaesthetic is not used, as this can be detrimental to the process.
A PHYSICAL ZINC BASED SUNBLOCK, NOT chemical, must be worn leaving the salon and for at least 7 days post-treatment. I recommend using this on a continual basis. I have a suitable product from WA available to purchase in the salon after your treatment.
What To Expect Post Care
You may experience a moderate tingling sensation. The treatment can create discomfort, but I promise it’s worth it!
Day 1. Slight redness and stingy feeling with minor swelling. Please use a replenishing serum and moisturiser.
Day 1-2 Your skin will feel sensitive and tight, and you are likely to have some dry and flaky patches. Continue with the serum and moisturiser.
Day 3-4 Your sensitivity will reduce, and dead skin cells will peel away. Your skin will feel super smooth! Continue applying the serum and moisturiser.
Day 4-5 Your skin will be feeling normal and without sensitivity! You can now return to your normal routine and you can wear your makeup as usual.
