Treatment
Skin Needling in Seddon
Skin needling (microneedling with the SkinPen device) is a treatment that uses fine needles to support the skin’s natural renewal. At our Seddon clinic in Melbourne, it is offered after a private consultation and is often considered for skin texture, the look of scarring and overall skin quality.
What is skin needling?
Skin needling uses a controlled device to create tiny micro-channels in the skin, which can support its natural renewal over a course of sessions. At Opulence Aesthetics in Seddon we use the SkinPen, and treatment always begins with a consultation to confirm it suits your skin.
What can it help with?
People in Seddon and the wider Melbourne region often consider skin needling to:
- support the look of skin texture and overall skin quality
- support the appearance of scarring over time
- complement a wider, consultation-led skin plan
Skin needling is a considered treatment, not a cure, and we are honest about what it can and cannot do. How skin responds varies from person to person.
What to expect
Because it is a more active treatment, suitability and aftercare matter, so we talk everything through first. What to expect:
- typically a course rather than a single visit
- some redness afterwards for a short period is common; responses vary
- clear aftercare guidance and recovery information at your consultation
Who is skin needling suitable for?
Skin needling is not right for everyone — certain skin conditions, medications or circumstances may make it unsuitable. Care begins with a private consultation with Nqobile Nhlebela, our Registered Nurse (AHPRA NMW0001572477), who assesses your skin and explains the benefits, risks and recovery before anything goes ahead.

Frequently asked
Does skin needling hurt?
A numbing option is generally used for comfort, and most people tolerate the treatment well. Comfort varies between individuals, so your nurse will talk you through what to expect and check in with you throughout.
How many sessions might I need?
Skin needling is usually a course rather than a single visit. The right number depends on your skin and goals, which is something we discuss at your consultation in Seddon rather than promise upfront.
What is the recovery like?
Some redness for a short period afterwards is common, a little like mild sunburn for some people, though responses vary. We provide clear aftercare and recovery guidance so you know what to expect.
