Microneedling in Bundaberg
Microneedling for Healthier-Looking Skin
Skin concerns like fine lines, scarring and uneven texture can be frustrating when topical products don’t deliver lasting change. At Embrace Cosmetic Clinic in Bundaberg, microneedling – also known as collagen induction therapy – works beneath the surface to help the skin repair itself naturally.
Using a specialised device fitted with fine, sterile needles, this treatment is designed to create microchannels that prompt the body to produce new collagen and elastin. Over time, skin appears firmer, smoother and more refined without the need for invasive procedures.
Microneedling can also help improve product absorption for boosted results. Treatments are performed by a qualified registered nurse in a safe, controlled environment. For more information or to arrange your consultation, contact us on 0429 182 123.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does microneedling feel like during treatment?
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic is applied beforehand to reduce any discomfort. Most people describe the sensation as a light vibration or prickling feeling.
Sensitive areas such as around the nose or lips may feel slightly more noticeable, but the treatment is brief, and any discomfort fades quickly once complete.
Post-treatment, the skin may feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn. These sensations typically subside within a day or two as the skin begins to recover.
Can microneedling help reduce acne scars or pigmentation and reduce pore size?
Yes. Microneedling is widely used to help improve the appearance of mild acne scarring and uneven pigmentation. By promoting collagen and cellular turnover and melanocyte transferring, the skin’s surface can become smoother, and more uniform in tone.
However, deeper scars or active acne require careful assessment before treatment. Pigmentation caused by inflammation or sun exposure may also benefit, though a course of sessions is usually needed for visible improvement.
It’s important that microneedling be performed by a qualified professional who can adjust technique and needle depth safely for each skin type and to also avoid active ingredients like retinols and VitC for 5 days at least.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Microneedling can be suitable for most skin types when performed correctly. Adjustments to needle depth, pressure and frequency help minimise risk in sensitive or darker skin tones.
Because it doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, microneedling avoids the pigment-related complications sometimes seen with light-based therapies. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, infections or recent sunburn should postpone treatment until the skin is healthy.
During consultation, your clinician will assess suitability and discuss pre- and post-care steps to ensure the best outcome for your skin type.
What aftercare should I follow post-microneedling?
After treatment, it’s best to avoid touching the skin, wearing makeup or using active ingredients like retinol for at least 24 hours.
Gentle cleansing, hydrating serums and broad-spectrum sunscreen are recommended. Redness may persist briefly, so avoid heat exposure, heavy exercise and swimming until the skin feels calm. Over the following days, mild flaking or tightness can occur as the skin renews itself.
Staying hydrated and following the aftercare plan provided by your practitioner will help support healing and enhance long-term results.
How Microneedling Supports Skin Renewal
Microneedling is one method to encourage the skin’s natural healing response. The process works by delivering thousands of precise micro-injuries into the upper layers of the skin, stimulating cell turnover and collagen formation.
As the skin repairs itself, texture becomes smoother and tone more even. It’s suitable for many common skin concerns, including fine lines, mild acne scarring, enlarged pores and sun damage. Results develop gradually, as the skin continues to renew over several weeks.
Treatments can be tailored to different skin types and levels of sensitivity, making microneedling a versatile option for those seeking visible yet subtle improvement.
Treatments Focusing on Comfort & Control
Modern microneedling technology has helped make the procedure more comfortable than ever. Devices now allow for adjustable needle depth, meaning treatment intensity can be personalised for each area of the face or body.
A topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure to enhance comfort. Immediately afterward, mild redness or warmth is common and usually settles within 24 to 48 hours. As collagen production increases, the skin can become softer, smoother and more resilient.
For best results, microneedling can be performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Each session builds upon the last, seeking to promote long-term improvements in skin quality and radiance.
