Frequently Asked Questions

How does Skin Needling work

It uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and improving the appearance of scars, fine lines, and texture. 
Who is Skin Needling for

This treatment is for anyone looking to boost collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve the
following skin conditions:

  • lines/wrinkles
  • skin laxity
  • thin/crepey skin
  • pore size
  • pigmentation
  • texture
  • dull complexion
  • congestion
How does Skin Needling feel?

The sensation varies by needle depth, treatment area, and pain tolerance - superficial sessions feel like light tingling or sandpaper, while deeper treatments can feel like intense scratching.  Afterwards, the skin may feel tight, tender, or sunburned/windburned for 24–48 hours, with some redness, minor swelling, or pinpoint bleeding, but overall it’s generally described as uncomfortable yet tolerable.
Is there any downtime after Skin Needling?

The downtime after skin needling is usually minimal but depends on needle depth and treatment intensity. For superficial microneedling, most people have little to no downtime, maybe slight redness for a few hours. For deeper treatments, expect 24–48 hours of redness, mild swelling, and skin sensitivity, sometimes with flaking. Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours once the skin has calmed, and normal activities can typically resume immediately. SPF must be applied diligently, especially in the fortnight following the treatment.
How often is Skin Needling recommended?

Frequency is dependent upon the goals, concerns and age of the client. We recommend spacing your micro needing sessions at least 4-6 weeks apart.

Natasha and her team are just incredible!

They are the skincare professionals who listen to your concerns and apply the best treatment for you. I struggled with Melasma for years however, I regained my confidence after treatments and home skincare regime.

All the staff members are very friendly so I always leave the clinic with clear skin and great feeling. It is an amazing place to be!"

I have been seeing Natasha for a couple of years now and my skin has never looked better. I love how I can go in for an appointment and she'll recommend what's best for my skin, from a gentle relaxing facial to a more in-depth treatment.

Thank you for making my congested skin look and feel flawless. Already can't wait for my next appointment!"

"I had an incredible experience with Natasha at Sanctuary Skin Clinic. She went above and beyond — her extractions were the best l've ever had, and her expertise with BBL treatments far surpassed that of my high-end dermatologist (who charges much more).

What stood out most was the care, passion, and attention to detail she brought to every step of the treatment. I only wish I had found this clinic sooner. Could not recommend more highly!"

The facial was so gentle, soothing and restorative to not just my skin but my mind as well."

"Bree is THE BEST! Her depth of knowledge is incredible, she's super helpful and her treatments leave my mature skin looking and feeling fresh, plump and rejuvenated.

I've been having trouble with dermatitis on the side of my face and Bree chose gentle yet effective treatments to calm the inflammation and provide nourishment and healing.

I highly recommend Bree and all the team at Sanctuary Skin Care."
