About Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as skin needling is a non-surgical device-based cosmetic technique that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.

The technology is one of several device-based options available in cosmetic medicine consultations. It is non-invasive in the sense that it does not involve surgery or injection of substances.

Whether microneedling is appropriate for your individual circumstances, and what is involved, is discussed during your consultation with Dr Lucas de Siqueira (MED0001766559), Registered medical practitioner with General registration, based on clinical assessment of your individual anatomy, concerns and goals.

Individual outcomes may vary. This is a cosmetic treatment and a medical procedure.

About Skin Renewal

Skin has natural processes of renewal that vary significantly between individuals. Multiple factors influence how skin appears over time:

  • Individual anatomy — including skin type, sensitivity and how skin responds to environmental factors
  • Age and natural body changeswhich affect skin differently for each person
  • Lifestyle and environmental factors — including sun exposure, sleep, hydration, nutrition and skincare habits
  • Genetic and hormonal factors — that influence skin characteristics over time

Skin considerations are different for every individual. The way these factors interact, and how skin appearance varies, is unique to you.

Whether you would like to discuss any cosmetic medicine options for skin appearance concerns depends entirely on your preferences and clinical assessment. These are reviewed during your consultation with Dr Lucas de Siqueira (MED0001766559), Registered medical practitioner with General registration.
