Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Skin Needling Appointment

Have you booked in your first skin needling or collagen induction therapy appointment?

Amazing!

Now, here is some extra info and everything you need to know before your first appointment!

Skin needling (or collagen induction therapy) can transform your skin, improving texture, reducing acne scars, and boosting radiance.

The number of skin needling sessions you need depends on your individual skin concerns and goals, but a typical course ranges from 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

For general improvements like fine lines, you may see results after 3-4 sessions, while more stubborn issues like deep scars or hyperpigmentation may require 6 or more treatments to achieve optimal results.

Our professional estheticians will create a personalised plan after your initial consultation with us in salon.

But before your first session at Ellua Skin & Laser Dapto, it helps to know exactly what to expect.

Skin needling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger your body’s natural healing process and stimulate new collagen production. The treatment is safe, effective, and suitable for most skin types when performed by trained professionals.

Before your appointment it is best to, avoid active ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids for at least 3–5 days.

After your appointment, expect mild redness for up to 24 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Whilst also remembering, your skin type and healing speed. Everyone's skin responds differently, and your body's natural healing process will affect how often you can get treatments and how quickly the redness will calm down.

Your results build over time, with your skin continuing to improve for weeks/months after each session.

This is one of our most popular treatments and brings incredible results to those that are ready to go all in!
