Microneedling Sydney CBD: skin needling for acne scars, pores and texture.
Microneedling, also called skin needling, uses very fine needles to prompt your skin to repair itself and build new collagen. Over a course it softens acne scarring, refines pores and smooths uneven texture, with only a day or two of redness.

How it works
What is microneedling?
A medical-grade needling pen moves across the skin, making thousands of tiny, controlled channels at a depth chosen for your skin and the area being treated.
Your skin reads these as micro-injuries and starts to repair them, producing new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. This is why it is also called collagen induction therapy, and why results build with each session.
The channels also let the serums we apply during treatment absorb more effectively. Every plan starts with a skin analysis, so needle depth and spacing between sessions suit your skin.
Real results
Before and after.
Real clients treated with microneedling at Beauty Hub Sydney. Results build over a course, as new collagen forms.
Individual results vary. Treatment plans are always customised.
What it treats
Pick your concern
Scarring
Acne scars
New collagen gradually fills and softens indented scars, so skin looks smoother. Scarring needs a longer course than general texture, usually six sessions.
Pores
Enlarged pores
As skin firms around each pore, pores look smaller and more refined, especially across the cheeks and nose.
Texture
Rough texture & fine lines
Renewing the surface and building collagen underneath smooths uneven texture and softens fine lines, so makeup sits better.
Tone
Dull, uneven skin
Skin looks fresher and more even as it renews, and the serums applied during treatment absorb more effectively.
Upgrade your treatment
Add a booster.
A booster is a professional serum applied as part of your microneedling session, chosen for what your skin needs most. We recommend one, or none, after your skin analysis.
Hydration & glow
Rejuran® booster
A polynucleotide (PDRN) skin booster from Rejuran® for skin that looks tired, dull or dehydrated. Chosen for a plumper, more hydrated look.

Plant-derived exosome technology with ten types of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. Chosen for dry, depleted skin that needs deep hydration and comfort.
Plump & smooth

Not sure?
We choose with you
You don't need to pick in advance. We look at your Observ 520x skin analysis and recommend the booster that suits your skin, or none at all.
Boosters are optional. Microneedling starts from $199.
Your timeline
What to expect
On the day
Numbing cream goes on first. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes and feels like light pressure and vibration.
Days 1–2
Redness and warmth, like mild sunburn. Keep skincare simple, skip makeup for 24 hours and wear SPF.
Days 3–7
Skin can feel dry or flake lightly as it renews. Then it starts to look fresher and smoother.
Weeks 4–6
New collagen is forming. This is when we book your next session, and results build from there.
Which is right for you?
Microneedling or RF?
Microneedling works with needles alone and suits texture, pores, early scarring and overall skin quality, with the lightest downtime.
For deeper scarring or skin that also needs tightening, RF microneedling or Futera Dots fractional RF adds radiofrequency heat for a stronger effect. If you would rather avoid needles altogether, a spicule facial resurfaces without them.
We will recommend the right one after your skin analysis, and they can be combined in one plan.

Microneedling FAQs
Good questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, or skin needling, is a treatment that uses a pen with very fine needles to make tiny, controlled channels in the skin. The skin repairs them by producing new collagen and elastin, which improves texture, scarring and pores over a course of treatments.
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply numbing cream first, so most people feel light pressure and vibration, with some sensitivity over bony areas such as the forehead. Afterwards skin feels warm, like mild sunburn.
How much downtime is there?
Expect redness for one to two days, then some dryness or light flaking for a few days. Most people return to work the next day. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, and avoid active skincare, heat and sun until your skin has settled.
How many sessions will I need?
For texture, pores and general skin quality, we recommend three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Acne scarring usually needs six. Collagen builds gradually, so results keep improving for weeks after each session.
When will I see results?
Skin often looks fresher within a week or two. The deeper changes to texture and scarring appear gradually over the following weeks as new collagen forms, and build with each session in your course.
What boosters can I add to microneedling?
We offer the Rejuran® polynucleotide (PDRN) booster, the ThermoCeutical NEXO booster, Quadlink, the MG Collection™ boosters made for skin needling, and EXO skin therapy, our most advanced option. Boosters are optional, and we recommend one only if your skin analysis shows it will help.
Is microneedling good for acne scars?
Yes, it is one of the most common treatments for indented acne scars. It softens them gradually over a course, usually six sessions. Deep or widespread scarring may respond better to RF microneedling or fractional RF, which we can advise on after your skin analysis.
Is microneedling the same as RF microneedling?
No. Microneedling uses needles alone. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency heat through the needles, which gives a stronger tightening and remodelling effect with a little more downtime. We recommend one or the other depending on your skin and goals.
Who shouldn't have microneedling?
It isn't suitable over active acne breakouts, infection, cold sores, or broken or sunburnt skin, or if you are prone to keloid scarring. Tell us if you are pregnant or taking prescription acne medication. We check your skin and health history at consultation before any treatment.
