Skin Needling
Perth
Perth’s most trusted skin needling clinics. Professional collagen induction therapy from $175, performed by qualified dermal clinicians across 6 Perth locations.
What Is Skin Needling?
Skin needling — also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT) or microneedling — is a clinically proven skin treatment that uses fine, controlled micro-channels to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. This process triggers new collagen and elastin production, progressively improving skin texture, tone, and firmness over time.
At Skin Societé, skin needling is performed using medical-grade devices and precisely selected topical serums. Every treatment is tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals, following a thorough assessment by your qualified dermal clinician.
Skin needling is one of Perth’s most popular skin treatments because it is effective across a wide range of concerns — including fine lines, acne scarring, open pores, uneven skin tone, and general skin quality — with minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing procedures.
Skin Societé is Perth’s largest cosmetic clinic group. With 6 locations across the metro area and coast, we’ve helped thousands of Perth residents achieve healthier, more even skin — using evidence-based treatments and individualised care.
Who Is Skin Needling For?
Skin needling suits a broad range of clients and skin concerns. You may be a good candidate if you are looking to address one or more of the following:
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing — skin needling supports collagen rebuilding to smooth superficial lines over time
- Acne scarring and post-acne marks — one of the most well-researched indications for skin needling; improves depressed scars and surface texture
- Enlarged pores — repeated treatment helps minimise the appearance of open pores
- Uneven skin texture — rough or dull skin becomes smoother and more refined with a course of treatment
- Pigmentation and uneven tone — can be combined with targeted serums to address surface pigmentation
- Stretch marks — gradual improvement is achievable with consistent treatment
- General skin health and glow — many clients use skin needling as a regular maintenance treatment
Skin needling is generally suitable for all skin types and tones. A personalised skin assessment at your complimentary consultation will confirm suitability and ensure the treatment parameters are appropriate for your skin.
Treatment is not recommended for clients with active infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or during pregnancy. Your clinician will review your full health history prior to treatment.
How Much Does Skin Needling Cost in Perth?
Skin needling at Skin Societé starts from $175 per session. The final cost depends on the area being treated, the device and depth used, and whether additional active serums or boosters are incorporated into your treatment.
| Treatment | Starting From |
|---|---|
| Skin Needling — Face | $175 |
| Skin Needling — Face & Neck | $220 |
| Skin Needling — Face, Neck & Décolletage | $275 |

Pricing is confirmed at your initial consultation. Skin Societé offers complimentary first consultations — there is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
Why is pricing important? Perth skin needling prices vary widely — from budget salons using cosmetic devices at shallow depths, to medical-grade treatment in a clinic setting. At Skin Societé, all skin needling is performed by qualified dermal clinicians using professional medical-grade equipment. The device, needle depth, and accompanying serums all affect results. The cheapest option is rarely the best option for your skin.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
The number of sessions required depends on your skin concerns, your skin’s baseline condition, and your goals. General guidance:
- Maintenance and skin quality: 2–3 sessions per year for clients who are happy with their skin and want to maintain it
- General improvement (fine lines, pores, dullness): A course of 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is a common starting point
- More significant concerns (acne scarring, deeper texture issues): 4–6 sessions or more may be recommended, spaced 4–8 weeks apart
- Ongoing maintenance after a course: Quarterly or twice-yearly maintenance sessions help sustain results long-term
Your qualified dermal clinician will assess your skin at your initial consultation and provide a clear, personalised treatment plan — including recommended session frequency and realistic outcome expectations for your specific concerns.
What to Expect: Step by Step
Complimentary Consultation
Your treatment journey begins with a no-obligation skin assessment. Your clinician reviews your skin concerns, health history, current skincare routine, and goals. They explain the treatment process, set realistic expectations, and confirm suitability.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left to work for approximately 30–45 minutes. During this time you can relax in the treatment room.
Skin Needling Treatment
The clinician uses a medical-grade device to create precise micro-channels across the treatment area. A specialised serum or booster is applied simultaneously, allowing active ingredients to penetrate effectively. The treatment itself typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on the area covered.
Post-Treatment Care
Immediately after, your skin will appear red and feel warm — similar to mild sunburn. A soothing serum and SPF are applied before you leave. You’ll receive a detailed aftercare guide.
Recovery and Results
Redness typically settles within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to work and social activities the next day. Visible improvements develop progressively over the following weeks as new collagen builds.
Aftercare: What to Do After Skin Needling
Following your clinician’s aftercare instructions is essential for achieving the best results and minimising the risk of adverse reactions. Key aftercare guidelines include:
- First 24–48 hours: Avoid active skincare ingredients including vitamin C, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide. Use only the gentle products recommended by your clinician.
- Sun protection: Wear SPF 30–50 every day — your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure after treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 72 hours.
- No heat: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
- No makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 12–24 hours, or as directed by your clinician.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep skin well moisturised to support the healing process.
- Do not pick: Some flaking or dryness may occur in the days following treatment. Do not pick or exfoliate the skin.
Your clinician will provide you with a personalised aftercare plan and recommended products at the time of your treatment. You are always welcome to contact your clinic if you have any concerns during your recovery period.

Frequently Asked Questions — Skin Needling Perth
How much does skin needling cost in Perth?
Skin needling at Skin Societé starts from $175 per session. Pricing varies depending on the area treated, the depth and device used, and whether additional serums or booster infusions are incorporated. A treatment course of 3 sessions is available from $495. Your exact pricing will be confirmed at your complimentary consultation.
How many skin needling sessions do I need?
Most clients benefit from a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For maintenance, 2–3 sessions per year is typical. For significant concerns such as acne scarring, more sessions may be recommended. Your clinician will provide a personalised plan at your consultation based on your skin’s condition and goals.
Is skin needling painful?
Most clients describe skin needling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise sensation. The feeling during treatment is often described as a warm vibrating or light scratching sensation. Most clients tolerate it well and find it manageable throughout.
What is the downtime after skin needling?
Expect mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Some clients experience minor flaking or tightness in the days following. Most people return to normal activities the next day. Avoid active skincare, direct sun exposure, heat, and makeup for 24–48 hours as directed by your clinician. Full recovery is typically complete within 3–5 days.
When will I see results from skin needling?
Many clients notice an initial improvement in skin radiance within the first 1–2 weeks. More substantial improvements in texture, scarring, and tone develop over 4–8 weeks as new collagen builds. The full benefit of a course of treatment is typically visible 3–6 months after completion. Results continue to improve with each subsequent session.
Is skin needling safe for darker skin tones?
Skin needling is generally considered safe for all skin tones, including medium-to-darker complexions. Unlike some laser treatments, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is lower. However, treatment parameters are adjusted based on your skin type. Your clinician will assess your skin at consultation and customise the approach accordingly.
Can skin needling be combined with other treatments?
Yes — skin needling combines well with a range of other skin treatments. It is commonly paired with targeted serum infusions, LED light therapy, and a well-structured home skincare routine for enhanced results. Your clinician may recommend a combination approach depending on your skin concerns. Timing between combination treatments will be planned into your treatment schedule.
