Microneedling in Newcastle

Stimulate Natural Collagen Production with Microneedling at DRS Clinic Newcastle

Microneedling is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines, and restore a healthier, more radiant complexion.

At DRS Clinic Newcastle, our experienced medical practitioners use advanced microneedling techniques to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.

Suitable for all skin types, microneedling is a versatile treatment that delivers natural, long-lasting improvements with minimal downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin.

These tiny channels stimulate the body’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin production while improving the absorption of medical-grade skincare products.

As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer and more even in texture.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your appointment begins with a detailed skin consultation.

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to ensure your comfort before the microneedling device is passed over the treatment area to create thousands of tiny microchannels in the skin.

The treatment usually takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Medical-grade serums may also be applied during the procedure to enhance results.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For optimal results, we generally recommend a course of:

• 3–6 treatments
• 4–6 weeks apart

The exact number of sessions will depend on your skin concerns and desired outcome.

Recovery and Aftercare

Downtime is minimal.

Following treatment, you may experience:

• Redness similar to mild sunburn
• Mild swelling
• Tightness
• Dryness
• Slight sensitivity

These effects typically settle within 24–72 hours.

Following treatment, we recommend:

• Avoiding makeup for 24 hours
• Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
• Wearing SPF 50 daily
• Avoiding excessive sun exposure
• Using only recommended skincare products until the skin has healed

Results

Many patients notice brighter, healthier-looking skin within the first week.

As collagen production increases over the following 6–12 weeks, the skin continues to become firmer, smoother and more even in texture.

Results continue to improve with each treatment session.
