Skin Needling is a professional skin treatment that uses a medical-grade device fitted with ultra fine needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro injuries trigger the skin’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the structural proteins responsible for firm, smooth, and resilient skin. As new collagen is laid down and the skin rebuilds itself, the result is a progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall quality that deepens with each successive treatment.
At OC Skin, we enhance the efficacy of every Skin Needling session by selecting and applying a custom active serum, chosen specifically for your skin’s current concerns, immediately following needling. The microchannels created during treatment allow active ingredients to penetrate far more deeply and effectively than they could through intact skin, significantly amplifying the benefits of both the needling process and the serum itself. Whether your primary concern is acne scarring, pigmentation, fine lines, or dehydration, your therapist will select the serum formulation that best addresses your needs.
At OC Skin, we believe in treatments that work with the skin’s own biology to produce lasting, meaningful results. Skin Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is one of the most scientifically supported and clinically effective treatments available for a wide range of skin concerns. At OC Skin, we take this treatment further by pairing it with a custom selected serum precisely formulated to address your individual skin concerns, ensuring every session delivers maximum therapeutic benefit.
Your Skin Needling treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and identify your primary concerns, allowing your therapist to select the most appropriate serum for your session. Your skin is then cleansed and prepared ahead of treatment. Where appropriate, a topical numbing cream may be applied prior to the procedure to ensure your comfort, your therapist will advise whether this is recommended for you.
Your therapist will work methodically across the treatment area using the medical-grade needling device, creating controlled micro channels that stimulate the skin’s renewal response. The sensation varies between clients but is generally well tolerated. Immediately following needling, the custom active serum is applied directly to the skin, where it penetrates deeply through the open channels to deliver its active ingredients at the optimal level.
Post treatment, the skin will appear red and may feel warm and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, and this typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Some clients experience mild flaking in the days following treatment as the skin renews. With each successive session, the improvements in your skin become increasingly visible, with collagen remodelling continuing to develop for up to several months following a course of treatment.
There is mild downtime associated with Skin Needling. Redness and sensitivity are common in the 24 to 48 hours following treatment, and some light flaking may occur over the following days. Most clients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within 24 hours, avoiding makeup and direct sun exposure during the initial healing period.
Most clients see meaningful improvement after a single session, but a course of three to six treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, particularly for concerns such as scarring, pigmentation, or anti-ageing. Your therapist will recommend an appropriate number of sessions based on your skin concerns and goals.
Skin Needling is generally recommended every four to six weeks to allow the skin adequate time to complete its healing and collagen building process between sessions. Your therapist will advise on the ideal treatment frequency for your skin.
