Microneedling
Treatment
An advanced injectable treatment designed to support skin repair, hydration, and overall texture improvement.
Available at Prime Cosmetic Clinic in Melbourne and Canberra.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a procedure that creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms, which may encourage new collagen and elastin production over time.
This treatment is often chosen for improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
- A device with fine sterile needles is gently applied to the skin.
- The needles create micro-channels, prompting a wound-healing cascade.
- This process may support collagen and elastin renewal.
- Active serums (such as clarifying or brightening boosters) can be infused through the channels for enhanced skin conditioning.
