Microneedling
Give your skin the youthful collagen boost it deserves
Love the Skin You’re In — Refresh Your Glow
Your skin tells your story — laughter, sunshine, and all the moments in between. But over time, fine lines, scars, and uneven texture can begin to dull that story. Microneedling is a gentle, natural way to press ‘refresh.’
At Luminous Skin, we offer two types of microneedling treatments designed to improve skin tone, texture, and radiance — with results that are fresh, subtle, and uniquely you.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a collagen-inducing treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny channels stimulate your body’s natural healing response — boosting collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
It’s ideal for treating:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Enlarged pores
-
Acne scarring
-
Uneven skin tone or texture
-
Dull or tired-looking skin

Two Types of Treatment — Which One’s Right for You?
1) Medical Microneedling (SkinPen®) Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Boost, for deeper repair
This is our go-to for deeper skin rejuvenation. SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared device that reaches below the skin’s surface to remodel scar tissue and stimulate long-term collagen. Great for acne scars, pigmentation, and fine lines.
2. Cosmetic Microneedling (SkinPen®) The Classic Approach, great for all skin types
A gentler option for clients wanting an overall glow-up with minimal downtime. Perfect for first-timers, younger skin, or as part of your seasonal skin maintenance.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your skin concerns and choose the approach that best fits your goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
It all begins with a consultation, where we’ll chat about your skin goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored just for you.
Treatment: A thin layer of numbing cream is applied for comfort, then the SkinPen® device is gently passed over your skin, using tiny, precisely controlled needles to stimulate collagen and skin renewal.
Duration: 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Recovery: It’s normal to experience some redness, tightness, or mild sensitivity for 1–2 days — much like a light sunburn. Most clients feel comfortable returning to daily activities within 24–48 hours.
Results: You may begin to notice a natural glow within the first week, with improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness continuing to build over 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases. For best results, we usually recommend a course of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
What Does a Treatment Cost?

-
Face: $350

Face & Neck: $400

Face, Neck & Décolletage: $450
Skin Peels & Microneedling - A Powerful Duo for Radiant Results
If you're looking to truly transform your skin, combining microneedling and skin peels can deliver powerful, long-lasting results. Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, improving texture, fine lines, and tone, while skin peels gently exfoliate the surface, helping to clear congestion, fade pigmentation, and refresh your complexion. Used together, they support each other beautifully - working at different layers of the skin to reveal a brighter, smoother, more radiant you.
Is Microneedling Right for You?
If you're looking for natural skin rejuvenation without injectables or downtime, microneedling could be the perfect fit. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, and can be tailored to suit your comfort level and goals.
Let’s find the right approach for you.
