Skin Needling In Melbourne

Skin needling with devices such as Dermapen or MDerma may be considered for patients seeking options to address concerns like scarring or changes in skin surface. At The DOC Clinic, these devices are used as part of treatment planning for suitable patients.

Skin needling is a type of procedure sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy. It can be performed on different areas, such as the face, neck, or hands. Suitability will depend on individual assessment.

At our the DOC West clinic located in Hoppers Crossing and the DOC East clinic located at 47A Karnak Rd, Ashburton VIC 3147, Dr Ed Omarjee may provide skin needling treatments using MDerma and Dermapen devices. These instruments feature multiple fine points that create controlled micro-channels on the surface of the skin. This process may help stimulate the skin’s natural repair response.

Dr Ed Omarjee also offers Exion RF microneedling. Exion is an AI-guided radiofrequency and ultrasound device that stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It may be considered for concerns such as acne scars, surgical scars, changes in skin texture, and skin laxity.

Disclaimer

All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation, patients' concerns are carefully assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.

What Should I Expect During The Treatment?

During skin needling, devices such as Dermapen or MDerma create controlled micro-channels on the surface of the skin. In some cases, serums may also be applied during the procedure.

Skin needling is sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy. The process may help stimulate the skin’s natural repair response. Suitability, number of sessions, and expected recovery will depend on individual factors and will be discussed during consultation.

Exion RF Microneedling combines controlled microneedling with monopolar radiofrequency and ultrasound energy. Its AI-guided delivery adjusts energy in real time for precision and patient comfort. Exion also includes a non-invasive Face handpiece designed to stimulate hyaluronic acid production for improved hydration and elasticity.

What Issues Can Skin Needling Address?

At The DOC Clinic, devices such as Dermapen and MDerma may be used as part of skin needling treatment. This procedure may help address concerns such as:

  • Acne scars
  • Changes in skin texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Surgical scars
  • Rejuvenation with stimulation of collagen, elastin

Exion RF Microneedling may also be considered for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Visible skin laxity
  • Loss of skin hydration and elasticity
  • Jawline or under-eye skin creping
  • Tone and texture irregularities
  • Localised areas of unwanted fat (body handpiece)

Skin needling is sometimes compared to procedures like laser resurfacing or dermabrasion, as it also creates controlled micro-channels on the surface of the skin. This may help stimulate the skin’s natural repair response. Suitability, treatment planning, and expected outcomes will be discussed during consultation.

Is Microneedling Effective?

Microneedling with devices such as Dermapen or MDerma may be considered for a range of skin concerns. Outcomes can vary between individuals, and the number of sessions required will depend on factors such as skin type and the concern being addressed.

Exion RF Microneedling is also TGA-listed and may be used for skin tightening, scar remodelling, and hyaluronic acid stimulation. Patients often notice a gradual improvement in skin firmness, hydration, and tone over several weeks following their treatment course.

What Should I Know About Recovery?

After skin needling, some patients notice temporary effects such as redness, warmth, or roughness in the treated area. These effects usually settle over time, but the recovery experience can differ between individuals.

Exion RF Microneedling typically has minimal downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur for a few hours to a day, with most patients resuming normal activities the same day. Dr Omarjee will advise on post-treatment care, such as avoiding hot showers, active skincare, and saunas for 24 hours.

How Long Does It Take to See Changes?

Any visible changes following skin needling can vary. In some cases, patients report that effects become noticeable weeks to months after treatment, with further changes developing over time. The timing and extent of these changes depend on individual factors and treatment planning.

Note: Exion RF Microneedling is currently available only at The DOC East clinic in Ashburton. Consultations can be arranged at either clinic location.

Medicare coverage

Medically relevant consultations usually are eligible for a Medicare-specific refund. (Cosmetic consultations are not Medicare eligible.)
