At Youth Lab, we offer consultations for skin needling, a dermal procedure designed to support overall skin health and rejuvenation. Also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, the treatment involves the use of precision-engineered medical devices such as Dermapen 4, performed by our qualified dermal team.

What Can Skin Needling Support?

    • Fine lines and wrinkles
    • Skin congestion and the appearance of enlarged pores
    • Uneven surface texture
    • Scarring
    • Redness
    • Collagen and elastin production

Dermapen 4 Skin Needling 

At Youth Lab, Skin Needling is performed using precision-engineered devices, including Dermapen 4 and the Mesoestetic m.pen. Needle depth and device settings are carefully selected according to your skin, concerns and treatment goals.

Where appropriate, microneedling may be paired with targeted infusion ampoules to support the appearance of visible scarring, uneven pigmentation, skin laxity and fine lines.

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive skin assessment. From there, your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan, recommend an appropriate course of treatments and provide tailored aftercare and ongoing support.

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Skin Needling (Dermapen):

After consultation, your session takes ~45–60 minutes. A topical anaesthetic may be applied (if appropriate). Once the skin is cleansed and prepped, the device is passed over the treatment area. You may feel pressure or light prickling. Discomfort is usually minimal and varies by individual and depth settings. Pinpoint bleeding can occur during treatment but should not persist afterwards.

How long do results last?

Skin Needling:

Typically delivered as a series of 4–6 sessions for general rejuvenation (more for extensive sun damage or scarring), spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Collagen synthesis takes time; improvements may continue to evolve for up to 6 months after a course. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled.

What happens after my treatment?

Skin Needling:

Immediate redness and warmth are expected, often described as a “sunburnt” feeling for 24–48 hours. Downtime is generally minimal; some people return to work the next day. Follow your aftercare precisely, avoid picking at dry/peeling skin, protect from sun, and pause active topicals (e.g., vitamin A) until advised.

 

What are the risks of treatment?

Skin Needling:

Common, temporary effects include sensitivity, redness, mild swelling, light flaking or crusting. Pinpoint bleeding can occur during treatment. Less common risks include grazing, pustules or infection. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation is uncommon and will be discussed in consultation; higher-risk skin types may require pigment-inhibiting prep.

Not suitable where topical anaesthetic is contraindicated (e.g., pregnancy/breastfeeding if anaesthetic is required), within 6 months of isotretinoin, with active infection/wounds, or over active inflammatory acne lesions. Precautions apply for anticoagulants and smoking.

 

The difference between Skin Needling and RF Microneedling

Traditional Skin Needling uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for a different treatment approach. Your practitioner can recommend the most appropriate option following consultation.
