Skin Needling on the Northern Beaches

Darling, if you're serious about improving your skin — reducing pigmentation, refining pores, smoothing acne scarring — skin needling is one of the few treatments with solid clinical backing behind it. Glow Beauty Space at North Narrabeen brings the Skin Pen micro-needling treatment to the Northern Beaches, performed by trained therapists who tailor every session to your skin's current needs.

The Northern Beaches is well-served for beauty services, but finding a salon that does micro-needling properly — with the right equipment, the right depth, and genuine post-treatment care — takes some hunting. At Glow Narrabeen, skin needling is part of a broader skin treatment menu that includes peels, Cosmelan depigmentation, and LED light therapy, so your therapist can build a treatment plan rather than just selling you a one-off.

What to Expect

Skin Pen micro-needling at Glow uses a medical-grade needling device with adjustable depth settings. The treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin, triggering the body's natural collagen and elastin production. Results build over multiple sessions.

The full process:

1. Consultation — Your therapist assesses your skin concerns, reviews any contraindications, and sets realistic expectations for your skin type

2. Cleanse and prep — The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied (allow 20–30 minutes for this)

3. Needling — The Skin Pen is passed across the treatment area with settings adjusted per zone and concern

4. Post-treatment care — A calming serum or mask is applied to support the skin's recovery

The treatment itself takes approximately 30 minutes. Total appointment time is 60–90 minutes including prep and aftercare.

Common concerns treated:

  • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Sun damage and general dullness

Who Is This Best For

Skin needling suits a wide range of skin types and concerns. It works particularly well for:

  • Adults in their 30s–60s noticing early to moderate signs of ageing
  • Anyone dealing with acne scarring from breakouts past or present
  • Clients with enlarged pores or rough texture that topical products haven't resolved
  • People with melasma or general uneven tone (often combined with Cosmelan at Glow)
  • Those wanting a science-backed treatment with measurable, cumulative results

Skin needling is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, have active acne breakouts on the treatment area, are on certain medications (including Roaccutane within the last 6 months), or have a history of keloid scarring. Your therapist will cover all contraindications at consultation.

Aftercare

Micro-needling creates temporary controlled damage to the skin — aftercare matters.

  • First 24 hours: Expect redness and mild swelling, similar to sunburn. This is normal. Avoid makeup, active skincare products (vitamin C, retinol, AHAs), and sun exposure.
  • 24–72 hours: Skin may feel tight or slightly rough. Keep it clean and hydrated. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser.
  • Days 3–7: Mild flaking or peeling may occur as the skin renews. Do not pick or exfoliate manually.
  • Ongoing: SPF every day, without exception. New collagen is forming — protect it.

Your therapist will provide a full written aftercare guide at your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions of skin needling do I need?

For texture and early ageing, many clients see noticeable improvement after 2–3 sessions. For acne scarring or deeper pigmentation, a course of 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Your therapist will give a tailored recommendation at consultation.

Does skin needling hurt?

With topical numbing cream applied prior to the treatment, most clients describe it as a mild pressure sensation rather than pain. Sensitivity varies depending on the area — around the nose and forehead tends to be more sensitive.

How long before I see results?

Initial improvements in texture and glow can appear within 1–2 weeks. Collagen remodelling continues for up to 3 months post-treatment, so full results from a single session are typically visible at the 6–8 week mark.

Can skin needling be combined with other treatments at Glow?

Yes. Skin needling pairs well with Glow's skin peel program and LED light therapy as part of a treatment plan. Your therapist can advise on sequencing and intervals between treatments.

Is micro-needling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, when performed correctly. Skin needling is generally considered safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Unlike some laser treatments, it doesn't carry the same risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones. However, your therapist will tailor the approach to your specific skin.
