About Micro-Needling

Micro-needling treatments help to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin within your body. This process rejuvenates and enhances your skin’s appearance, without the risks or downtime associated with invasive procedures.

During your consultation, not only will the benefits of your micro-needling treatment be discussed, but your suitability, the common and rare risks, a financial quote, and aftercare instructions will also be discussed in detail. We design a tailored treatment plan for each individual patient to improve your skin’s quality, reduce discomfort during the procedure, and boost your overall confidence.

Treatment benefits

Enhances skin texture and elasticity by promoting collagen production.
Reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Improves overall skin tone and firmness.
Rejuvenates the skin by reducing signs of aging and environmental impact.

Micro-needling is also commonly known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It involves superficially damaging the surface layers (epidermis and dermis) of your skin, using the combination of tiny needles and a hyaluronic acid serum. This process stimulates the natural repair process within your body to produce more collagen and elastin for smoother, rejuvenated looking skin.

At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, our micro-needling treatments can target your skin concerns in many different areas such as your face, neck, decolletage, hands and more.

Why Choose Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane for your Micro-needling

Patient-Centred Consultation

At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane we allocate one-hour appointments for every micro-needling consultation. We do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, we are dedicated to ensuring that your treatment journey is personalised and unique to you. We have designed a unique consultation process for micro-needling which prioritises your goals, comfort and safety.

Treatment Planning

Each treatment has different variables such as duration, downtime and length of expected results. When formulating your micro-needling treatment plan, we will work closely with you to ensure that the plan accommodates to your lifestyle, upcoming events and priorities.

Aftercare and Follow-Ups

Your micro-needling journey does not finish at the end of your consultation. At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, our Clinic Coordinator will regularly keep in touch with you to help monitor your progress, and arrange any further follow-up appointments as required.

What to Expect for your Micro-needling Appointment?

On the day

Consultation and Pre-Procedure Examination: Your appointment will begin with a personalised consultation. During this consultation you will have ample time to discuss your specific skin concerns and determine the best treatment approach to address your cosmetic goals.

Treatment Planning: After the initial consultation, we will discuss the treatment in detail, explaining the steps, potential risks, and expected outcomes. You will then go through the consent process to ensure you fully understand and are comfortable to proceed with the treatment. ‘Before’ pictures will also be taken for your medical record to assist in planning and documenting the treatment.

Numbing and Procedure: We apply numbing cream to ensure your treatment remains as comfortable as possible. Using a micro-needle pen, we would carefully pass over the targeted treatment areas. This technique allows for precision and the most beneficial outcome.

Immediate Post-Procedure Care: Immediately following the treatment, we apply a suitable soothing serum to the treated area. We then would provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.

Follow-Up and Further Care: After your treatment, you will be able to book any follow up appointments or further sessions, as required. Our Clinic Coordinator will also reach out 1 week after your treatment to monitor your healing process.

Aftercare for your Micro-Needling

  • Apply a gentle moisturiser to your treatment area for up to 7 days following your treatment
  • Do not pick, squeeze, or agitate the skin during the recovery period.
  • Avoid direct sunlight exposure for 2 days following your treatment
