Skin Needling

At Dr.Fresh Clinic, we pride ourselves on offering advanced skincare treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh your complexion. One of our signature treatments is skin needling, a procedure that utilises the SkinPen, a state-of-the-art microneedling device. Performed by our highly trained dermal clinicians, this treatment is known for its remarkable ability to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin tone.

The SkinPen works by creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This results in the production of collagen and elastin—key components that contribute to a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance. Our dermal clinicians are adept at using the SkinPen with precision, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to meet your individual skincare needs. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves little downtime, making it an ideal choice for those looking to achieve significant skin improvements with a relatively quick recovery period.

At Dr. Fresh Clinic, we understand that every patient’s skin is unique. That’s why our trained clinicians conduct a thorough consultation before any treatment, assessing your skin type and discussing your goals to customise the skin needling process. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective care and optimal results.

Is Skin Needling Safe?

Skin needling is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. The procedure uses sterile, single-use needles to ensure safety and hygiene. While skin needling is minimally invasive, it’s important to follow pre- and post-treatment instructions to avoid complications such as infection or prolonged irritation.

Immediately after the treatment, your skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few days. Most people can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure, although sun exposure should be avoided to protect the healing skin.

What Can Skin Needling Treat?


Skin needling can address a variety of skin concerns. It is often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of scars, particularly acne scars. It can also be helpful for individuals who experience enlarged pores, sun damage, or pigmentation issues. 


While skin needling does not provide immediate results, the gradual improvement in the skin’s appearance typically becomes visible after a few treatments.
