SkinPen® Microneedling
Your skin, supported from within. SkinPen® Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural repair response. At DOSE in Helensvale on the Gold Coast, your treatment is planned around your skin, your concerns and your long-term goals.
How it works
A sterile, single-use SkinPen® cartridge creates precise micro-channels in the skin. This starts a repair process that supports new collagen formation over time. Your clinician selects the treatment area and settings after assessment and follows the device’s treatment and aftercare protocol.
Who is it for?
SkinPen® may be considered for suitable clients concerned about acne scarring, selected scars, fine lines or skin texture. Suitability depends on the concern, skin condition and device indications. Your consultation helps us establish whether microneedling belongs in your plan.
Who is it not for?
Treatment is postponed when there is an active infection, open wound or active inflammatory breakout in the area. Certain medical conditions, wound-healing concerns and medications may make treatment unsuitable. Tell us about your complete medical history, recent treatments, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any history of abnormal scarring before booking.
What to expect from the treatment
We assess and prepare your skin, discuss consent and provide comfort measures where appropriate. SkinPen® is passed over the selected area. You may feel vibration, pressure or a scratching sensation. Afterwards, redness, tightness or dryness can occur, often for 1–3 days. You leave with written aftercare and guidance on when to resume your usual products and activities.
Sessions + results
Skin changes develop gradually as the repair process progresses. A course may be recommended, with the number and spacing based on your concern, response and the device protocol. Results vary; your progress is reviewed rather than promised after a fixed number of visits.
FAQs
Does SkinPen® Microneedling hurt?
Sensation varies. Your clinician discusses comfort measures and what to expect before treatment.
When can I wear makeup?
Follow your written aftercare. Makeup is generally avoided for at least the first 24 hours, and may need to be delayed if your skin has not recovered.
Is it suitable for darker skin tones?
SkinPen® can be considered across different skin tones for appropriate indications. Assessment is still essential, and pigment changes remain a possible risk.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
It may form part of a broader skin health plan. Your clinician decides the timing and compatibility of other treatments individually.
