Plump. Skin Needling

Our signature Plump Needling treatment is more than traditional skin needling. Designed exclusively by Plump, this advanced protocol combines LED Light Therapy, a customised clinical peel and medical-grade skin needling to stimulate collagen production, improve skin health and accelerate long-term skin rejuvenation.

Unlike conventional microneedling, our treatment prepares the skin before collagen induction begins. LED Light Therapy energises skin cells and supports optimal healing, while a customised peel gently exfoliates and enhances the penetration of active ingredients delivered throughout your treatment. The result is a comprehensive approach that delivers healthier, stronger, more radiant skin.

Suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, Needling can improve acne scarring, enlarged pores, pigmentation, uneven skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and overall skin quality.

How Your Treatment Works

Every visit at Plump begins with a comprehensive skin consultation to understand your concerns, assess your skin health and tailor the treatment to your individual goals.

Using our Wood's Lamp and MagniLamp, we assess hydration, oil flow, pigmentation and vascular changes to determine the most appropriate treatment protocol for your skin on the day.

After our signature consultation, the treatment officially begins with LED Light Therapy. LED energises skin cells by increasing cellular energy production, helping to reduce inflammation, support healthy cell function and create an optimal environment for skin repair before needling begins.

A customised professional chemical peel is then performed to gently exfoliate the skin, remove excess surface build-up and optimise the penetration of active ingredients during microneedling.

Skin needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, works by creating thousands of precise micro-channels within the skin using a medical-grade needling device. These controlled micro-injuries activate your body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin while encouraging healthy skin regeneration.

As these micro-channels are created, customised treatment serums or regenerative booster infusions are delivered directly into the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate beyond the skin's surface where they can have the greatest clinical benefit.

The result is healthier, stronger skin with gradual improvements in texture, firmness and overall skin quality. Skin Needling is suitable for treating a wide range of concerns, including acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and general skin rejuvenation.

Treatment Benefits

Skin Needling stimulates your skin's natural repair processes to encourage healthier collagen production and long-term skin regeneration.

Benefits may include:

  • Improves skin firmness and elasticity
  • Refines pores and smooths skin texture
  • Softens fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves the appearance of acne scars and other superficial scarring

  • Improves the penetration and effectiveness of professional booster infusions

Choose Your Treatment

Level 1: Collagen Renewal

Our Level 1 Skin Needling treatment combines advanced collagen induction therapy with a carefully sequenced treatment protocol designed to maximise skin preparation, healing and long-term results.

Unlike traditional microneedling treatments, we begin with MediLUX LED Light Therapy. LED energises skin cells by increasing cellular energy production, helping to reduce inflammation, support healthy cell function and create an optimal environment for skin repair before treatment begins.

A customised professional chemical peel is then performed to gently exfoliate the skin, remove excess surface build-up and optimise the penetration of active ingredients during microneedling.

Medical-grade microneedling is then performed using a customised treatment depth tailored to your skin concerns. During the procedure, a professional-grade hyaluronic acid or customised skincare infusion is delivered through microchannels created in the skin, enhancing hydration while supporting collagen production and skin renewal.

This treatment is ideal for improving dullness, dehydration, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, mild pigmentation, early signs of ageing and superficial acne scarring. It is also an excellent option for maintaining long-term skin health and collagen production.

Treatment includes:

  • Comprehensive skin consultation
  • Wood's Lamp and MagniLamp skin analysis
  • Double cleanse
  • MediLUX LED Light Therapy
  • Customised clinical peel
  • Medical-grade skin needling
  • Personalised booster infusion
  • Barrier repair finishing products
  • Aftercare guidance

Level 2: Regenerative Medical Booster

Our most advanced skin needling treatment combines our signature protocol with next-generation regenerative medicine.

Following LED therapy and a customised clinical peel, medical-grade skin needling is performed using a treatment depth tailored to your skin concerns. During the procedure, your clinician will infuse a regenerative booster directly into the skin through the thousands of microchannels created by the needling device, allowing the active ingredients to reach the areas where they can have the greatest clinical effect.

These advanced bio-stimulators do far more than hydrate the skin. They support cellular communication, tissue repair and collagen remodelling to improve the quality and function of the skin itself. By working synergistically with the wound-healing response induced by microneedling, they help stimulate healthier, stronger skin from within while improving firmness, elasticity, pigmentation, skin texture, and overall skin quality.

By delivering these advanced regenerative ingredients during the treatment, they work synergistically with the skin's natural wound-healing response to support cellular repair, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve overall skin quality. The result is healthier, stronger skin with visible improvements in firmness, texture, pigmentation, hydration and radiance.

Recovery

Recovery depends on the treatment intensity and booster selected; however, most patients can expect mild redness similar to sunburn for 24 to 72 hours, followed by light dryness or flaking as the skin renews.

Most people return to normal daily activities the following day, with skin continuing to strengthen and remodel over the weeks that follow. Collagen production continues for several months after each treatment.

Recommended Treatment Course

Collagen remodelling is a gradual biological process, with improvements continuing for several months following each treatment.

For best results, we generally recommend a course of 4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as recommended by your clinician.

Your treatment plan will be tailored according to your skin concerns, goals and the regenerative booster selected during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does skin needling hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. The sensation is often compared to light scratching or vibration, with certain areas feeling more sensitive than others.

Why do you perform LED before skin needling?
This is one of the features that sets the Plump protocol apart. We begin with MediLUX LED Light Therapy to energise skin cells, reduce inflammation and prepare the skin to respond more effectively to treatment. This supports healing and helps optimise your overall results.

Why is a chemical peel included?
Our customised peel gently exfoliates the skin, removing surface build-up and improving the delivery of active ingredients during skin needling. It also allows your clinician to tailor the treatment to your skin's needs before collagen induction begins.

How many treatments will I need?
While you'll often notice brighter, healthier-looking skin after your first treatment, collagen remodelling takes time. We generally recommend a course of 4 treatments performed four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments tailored to your skin goals.

When will I see results?
Many patients notice improved hydration and radiance within the first week. Firmer, smoother skin develops progressively over the following weeks as new collagen is produced.

Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience redness for 1 to 3 days, followed by mild dryness or flaking. Complete healing typically occurs within one week, depending on the treatment intensity.

Who is not suitable for skin needling?
Skin needling may not be suitable for patients with active acne breakouts, skin infections or certain medical conditions. Your clinician will complete a comprehensive consultation to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you.
