Micro-Needling (SkinPen)
Micro-needling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone by stimulating the skin's natural healing process.
This advanced procedure reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Experience the rejuvenating benefits of micro-needling at Cosmedica Australia.
How it Works
Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. At Cosmedica Australia, we use the SkinPen, a medical-grade micro-needling device that is known for its precision and effectiveness. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

What to Expect
During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your skin and discuss your goals. The Micro-Needling (SkinPen) treatment typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. The SkinPen device is then gently moved across the skin, creating tiny punctures. After the treatment, a soothing serum or mask may be applied to enhance healing and hydration.
