Thank you for choosing The Skin Hub for your Skin Needling Treatment. Please read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call us at 0499 382 762.

  • Clients are expected to be using prescribed skincare before, during and after treatment as advised by your therapist
  • During the treatment, you will experience a mild vibration from the needling device used
  • Some mild discomfort can be experienced during skin needling such as heat, tingling and sensitivity which will vary depending on the device used
  • Forehead, cheekbones, jawline and nose are particularly sensitive areas, which may be felt more during your treatment than other areas

Following your skin needling treatment, some redness, heat, itching, tingling, swelling and discomfort may be present. This may last anywhere from 24-48 hours depending on the type of needles, depth and the skin condition we are targeting.

Some mild pinpoint bruising may occur following the treatment, particularly when targeting fine lines/wrinkles and scarring as we work at a deeper level in the skin. This generally resolves after 48 hours.

  • It is strongly advised to avoid touching the face and keeping the area dry for the first 6-8 hours
  • Do not wear makeup for the first 24 hours
  • Do not use any active skincare for the first 2-3 days such as Vitamin A, exfoliants, scrubs, AHA/BHAs etc
  • Please adhere to the post treatment skin care advised by your therapist
  • Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas and exercise for the first 24-48 hours
  • If instructed by your therapist, a cool compress can be applied at home to relieve some heat or discomfort
  • If swelling occurs, antihistamines can also be taken, unless advised otherwise by your therapist or a doctor
  • At approximately day 3-5 post treatment, you may experience some dryness and/or flaking, do not pick at the skin, treat gently
  • We recommend that you use a clean pillowcase and towels after skin needling treatments

Treatment intervals can vary anywhere from 2-6 weeks. This will be advised by your therapist and must be adhered to, to achieve best results.
