Dermal Needling (Microneedling)

Dermal needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment available at Pure Aesthetics Sydney under the medical oversight of Dr Steven Merten FRACS.

The treatment is suited to a range of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, rough or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, acne scarring and other superficial scars, stretch marks, and general skin dullness or laxity. At Pure Aesthetics, treatments are tailored to individual skin type and concern level, and the depth and intensity of needle penetration can be adjusted accordingly.

A topical anaesthetic cream is typically applied prior to treatment to maintain comfort throughout the session. The procedure itself takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment area covered. Most patients experience mild redness and skin sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours following treatment, after which skin returns to normal with no extended downtime required.
