What is skin needling?
At Bayside Family Medical & Musculoskeletal Practice in Glenelg we offer skin needling treatments to help acne scarring, surgical scars, wrinkles, skin tightness and texture. We pride ourselves on using innovative technology which is why we use the Dermapen4. Dermapen uses the world’s most advanced skin needling technology to stimulate the production of collagen to create smoother, healthier skin.
What is the process for skin needling?
Our treatments begin with the application of local anaesthetic cream to the treated area before local anaesthetic injections are administered to numb the treated areas. After these local anaesthetic injections are given, there should be no sensation from the actual skin needling.
These microscopic injuries induce your body to begin healing, when it begins to heal, you may notice visible changes in your skin. Soon after your treatment collagen production should start and within 4 weeks you should notice a visible difference.

The Dermapen, an innovative skin needling technology
The Dermapen fractional micro delivery technology provides fractional delivery of needles and micro injuries into the epidermis and dermis. These micro injuries then encourage your body to re-grow and repair the skin through the normal physiology of skin.
Is it safe?
Skin needling is often viewed as a safer alternative to using a laser and is encouraged for those with darker skin tones. Skin needling is designed to naturally cause the release of key growth factors that promote healing and trigger collagen synthesis which can create naturally induced collagen in your treated areas.
