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.
