Skin Needling
-
Needling is a safe and minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. Tiny surgical-grade needles create controlled ‘wounds’ to the skin that promote the release of growth factors which leads to the synthesis of new collagen and elastin.
-
No. Some needling devices use slower needle speeds that drag across the skin, causing unnecessary trauma and days to weeks of downtime.
Our medical‑grade device delivers rapid, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production without excessive damage. Downtime is just 12-24hrs.
-
We take a holistic approach to needling. Many clinics rely on Needling alone, using hyaluronic acid simply as a glide. At Luxe & Lavish, we combine four premium steps for superior results:
Gentle preparatory peel to exfoliate and prime the skin, improving product penetration and treatment outcomes
Precision Needling to stimulate natural collagen production and create microchannels for active delivery
Advanced exosomes applied topically to support cellular regeneration and boost collagen remodeling
Electroporation to drive exosomes and active ingredients deeper into the dermis without needles, enhancing absorption and effectiveness
The result is a single treatment that delivers exfoliation, controlled injury-induced remodeling, advanced regenerative actives, and enhanced transdermal delivery, a truly comprehensive rejuvenation protocol.

Our Needling typically involves minimal downtime of only 12-24hrs (as opposed to other devices that require 72hrs). Patients may experience redness, slight swelling, and sensitivity immediately after the procedure. These side effects usually subside within 24 to 48 hours.
You must not expose your skin to the sun or apply any sunscreen or skincare products to your skin for at least 24hrs after you needling treatment to allow your skin to heal.

To ensure optimal results we recommend applying our Eminence Certified Organic Vitamin C & E serum to your skin 2wks prior to your appointment. Applying our serum will help with:
Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C and E are powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that contribute to aging and skin damage. By applying a serum containing these antioxidants before needling, you can help minimize oxidative stress and reduce the risk of skin damage during the procedure.
Enhanced Healing: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, while vitamin E helps support skin repair and regeneration. By prepping the skin with a serum rich in these vitamins, you can help promote faster healing and recovery following the needling procedure. This can reduce downtime and discomfort, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.
Collagen Production: Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which is important for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. By applying a vitamin C serum before needling, you can help provide the skin with the necessary nutrients to support collagen synthesis. This can enhance the effectiveness of the needling procedure and promote long-term improvements in skin texture and tone.
Hydration and Moisture: Vitamin E is known for its moisturising properties and its ability to help maintain skin hydration. By incorporating a vitamin E serum into your pre-needling skincare routine, you can help ensure that the skin is adequately hydrated and moisturised, which is important for optimising the results of the needling procedure and supporting overall skin health.
In addition, it is recommended to arrive with a makeup free face and to avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medications.
-
Needling can treat: active acne, acne scarring, cystic acne, rosacea, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, eye bags, eyelids and pigmentation.
It is suitable for anyone 16 years and over and helps reset the skin barrier. Once the skin barrier is repaired, the above conditions can improve.
-
Usually we begin with six sessions, spaced one month apart, to reset your skin barrier. After that, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months are recommended to preserve healthy skin.
-
Pairing needling with a series of Dermalux Tri-Wave MD LED sessions enhances results by repairing skin at a cellular level and speeding healing. The combined approach helps control oil, reduce inflammation and acne, improve pigmentation, and rejuvenate skin using near-infrared, red and blue light wavelengths.

It feels like an electric toothbrush gliding over your skin.
