At Beauty By Doctor in Bondi Junction, microneedling is offered as a treatment option for patients seeking to address skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality. This treatment may be suitable for individuals with concerns such as acne scarring, fine lines, uneven skin tone, or general skin changes over time.
Microneedling supports the skin’s natural repair processes and may contribute to improvements in skin texture and firmness over a series of treatments. Some patients notice visible changes after initial sessions, with further changes occurring over time.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, which may support collagen and elastin production within the dermis.
This process may assist in improving skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of certain skin concerns. Devices such as Dermapen, SkinPen, and Code-X are commonly used in clinical settings to perform this treatment.
Why choose Beauty By Doctor
At Beauty By Doctor, microneedling treatments are tailored to individual skin characteristics and treatment goals. Both traditional microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling (Morpheus8) are available, depending on clinical assessment.
Medical-grade devices and products are used within a doctor-led clinical environment. Comfort measures, including topical numbing if required, are available. Post-treatment care guidance is provided to support the healing process and optimise outcomes.
Conditions treated at BBD
Microneedling may be used to address a range of skin concerns. These include acne scarring, fine lines, stretch marks, uneven pigmentation, and general skin texture changes. Treatment parameters can be adjusted to suit different skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones.
Types of microneedling we offer
Standard microneedling involves the use of clinical devices to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This approach may assist with general skin maintenance and mild textural concerns.
Microneedling with CALECIM® Professional Serum incorporates a topical application of PTT-6®, a stem cell-derived protein complex. The micro-channels created during treatment allow for transdermal delivery of these ingredients, which may support skin recovery and regeneration processes.
RF microneedling using Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This approach may be used where there is a focus on skin laxity, texture, or deeper dermal remodelling.
Microneedling with PRP involves the application of platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood. Growth factors within PRP may support healing and tissue repair.
Professional microneedling treatments differ from at-home devices in terms of depth, precision, and sterility. A clinical assessment is recommended to determine suitability and treatment approach.
What to expect
Before treatment, a consultation and skin assessment are performed to determine suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan. The skin is cleansed, and selected topical products may be applied.
During treatment, a pen-like device is used to create controlled micro-channels across the skin. The sensation is often described as light pressure or tapping. Treatment time is typically around 30 minutes depending on the area.
After treatment, temporary redness and mild swelling may occur. CALECIM® Professional Serum and LED light therapy may be applied to support recovery. Most patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment, with some aftercare recommendations provided.
Pricing
Microneedling with CALECIM® Professional Serum is $299 per session. A 10-session option is available at $1990. Treatment recommendations are based on individual assessment.
Results and timeline
Changes in skin quality following microneedling typically develop over time as collagen production occurs. While some patients may notice early changes, the full effect generally becomes more apparent over several weeks.
A series of treatments is commonly recommended, with sessions spaced approximately 4–12 weeks apart depending on individual goals and skin response. Outcomes vary between individuals.
