If you’ve been looking for a way to refresh your skin without going down the path of surgery or harsh treatments, Micro-needling might be the answer. This popular skin treatment has become a go-to for anyone wanting to smooth texture, soften lines, or improve acne scars—without the need for downtime.
What Exactly Is Micro-needling?
Micro-needling—also called skin needling or Dermapen—is a treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to gently create micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries prompt your body to start its natural healing process, which leads to a boost in collagen and elastin. The result? Firmer, clearer, more even-looking skin.
How Does It Work?
At Feeling Smooth, we use the medical-grade Dermapen device, which offers precision and comfort. During your session, your therapist will guide the device across your skin to create controlled, shallow channels. These are not deep enough to cause pain or damage—but they are just enough to trigger renewal from within.
We also apply a targeted meso-glide serum, which carries active ingredients directly into the skin during the treatment. Think of it as a one-two punch: stimulate renewal and deliver the nutrients your skin craves.
Why We Use Dermapen
We love the Dermapen because it allows for adjustable needle depth, making it suitable for all skin types and concerns. The treatment is clean, fast, and customisable. Each session is tailored to your skin’s needs and goals—and it’s all done with single-use, hygienic cartridges.
The Top Benefits of Micro-needling
Micro-needling offers more than just a post-treatment glow. Here’s what our clients often experience:
1. Smoother Texture and Refined Pores
Whether your skin feels rough, looks tired, or has visible pores, Micro-needling helps refine texture. It encourages cell turnover, tightens the surface, and brings that healthy-looking radiance back.
2. Support for Acne Scarring
Old breakouts can leave their mark—but Micro-needling can help. It works below the surface to soften the look of acne scars and support healthy, even skin regeneration. Depending on your skin, a few sessions may be needed.
3. Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction
Micro-needling gently prompts your skin to rebuild itself, making it ideal for softening fine lines around the eyes, lips, and forehead. It’s a great option if you’re noticing early signs of ageing but want to stay ahead without anything too invasive.
What to Expect After Your Session
Straight after treatment, your skin may look a little flushed—similar to a light sunburn. Some tightness or warmth is also normal. These effects generally settle within 24 hours, and most people return to regular activities straight away.
Over the next few weeks, as your skin heals and rebuilds collagen, you’ll notice gradual improvements in tone, firmness, and clarity. The full glow-up usually shows around the one-month mark.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
Most people see great results after just one treatment, but for longer-term goals (like scarring or deeper lines), we often recommend a course of 3–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your therapist will guide you through a plan based on your skin’s unique needs.
Is Micro-needling Worth It?
In our experience—absolutely. Micro-needling is one of the few treatments that delivers visible results without major discomfort or downtime. It works with your body’s natural processes, making it a smart, holistic choice for skin health.
Treatment Cost
At Feeling Smooth, Micro-needling with Dermapen starts from $365 per session. We also offer tailored packages for those looking to commit to a course of treatments.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most people experience only mild redness, a bit of flaking, and some tightness in the first few days. These are normal and usually clear quickly. Serious reactions are rare, but your therapist will walk you through everything before you begin.
