Medical Mesotherapy & Microneedling
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, aims to rejuvenate the skin by using small, sterile, surgical micro-needles to create thousands of micro-channels that stimulate the skin’s own regeneration and healing process to encourage the formation of new, collagen-rich tissue. Collagen is a vital protein that forms the building blocks of the skin. However, as we age, our body’s natural production begins to decline, so a skin needling treatment will improve skin texture and smoothness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and boost hydration from the inside out.
Combining Microneedling in Sydney with Mesotherapy allows for a prescribed cocktail of ingredients personalised to your concerns to penetrate the skin effectively and treat conditions such as fine lines, pigmentation, dull skin, scarring and texture.
How skin needling delivers exceptional results
Microneedling creates microchannels at varying depths that stimulate an individual’s own body to produce new collagen and elastin. These microchannels stay open for 4-6 hours, which also allows for optimal penetration of topical products to enhance your treatment results.
ToskaniMed’s Mesotherapy is a 100% personalised solution for the correction of a number of skin concerns through targeted transdermal delivery of potent active ingredients. Mesotherapy involves using a custom blend of vitamins, enzymes, hormones and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin. Your expert skin needling specialist at Studio Aesthetica will discuss your skin goals and select your Mesotherapy cocktail suited to your aesthetic needs.
Unpacking the treatment process for Microneedling in Sydney
Cleansing — Before your skin needling session, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove all traces of makeup, oil, SPF and dirt, ensuring a clean and smooth surface.
Application of numbing cream — To ensure you’re relaxed throughout the treatment process, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the area we’re targeting to minimise discomfort.
Skin needling — A device with fine, sterile needles will be moved across the skin to create tiny punctures, stimulating the body’s natural wound healing response to supercharge cell turnover and boost collagen and elastin production.
Application of serums or Mesotherapy solutions — If your treatment includes Mesotherapy, a custom-blended solution of nutrients is applied to the skin, penetrating deeply through the micro-channels to deliver long-term skin-rejuvenation results.
Post skin needling aftercare — what to expect
Skin needling is a treatment that offers minimal risks, downtime or side effects. Following your Microneedling in Sydney, your skin may feel warm, and you may experience slight swelling, redness and tenderness around the treatment areas. These symptoms should last no longer than a day or two.. Your skin may feel tight, dry or flaky after treatment, we recommend applying a soothing post-treatment balm. Given skin needling stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, results will continue to develop for up to 12 weeks post-treatment.
To preserve the longevity of your results and ensure a smooth recovery, take note of the following points:
Avoid sun exposure — Your skin will be sensitive to the sun for several weeks following your treatment for Microneedling in Sydney, so you should avoid exposure to harsh UV rays that can impact the overall results. We do not advise using sunscreen immediately following your treatment, as your skin channels are open and will absorb anything you apply. You can safely use mineral sunscreen the following day after treatment.
Avoid active skincare ingredients — Whether you regularly apply retinol, AHAs or Vitamin C, you should immediately discontinue using skincare products that contain active ingredients following your treatment. Your skin will be highly sensitive, so you should wait at least three to five days before reincorporating these products into your routine.
Avoid makeup for 24 to 48 hours — Letting your skin barrier heal is important, so we recommend avoiding makeup and makeup brushes until the following day after treatment.

FAQ’S
-
You will start to see results after several weeks as the skin repairs gradually. Results will show optimally at around the three month mark as your collagen remodelling increases over time. After your initial course of treatments, we would recommend yearly maintenance of 1-2 sessions to maintain your results.
-
The actual treatment takes around 30 minutes. A consultation should be done prior to commencing treatment.
-
The microchannels in the skin created during treatment stay open for 4-6 hours and so we recommend avoiding exercise during this period. Some patients experience mild-moderate redness, mild swelling, and minimal skin sensitivity after Microneedling that will usually subside in the hours following your session, sometimes lasting up to a day or two. You can wear makeup the following day, with mineral makeup being the preferred option. It is important to use gentle and hydrating skincare products post-treatment, as well as Broad Spectrum SPF daily.

We recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Of course, depending on your skin and desired results your practitioner at Studio Aesthetica will tailor a treatment plan to you. The collagen synthesis process will increase over time and with more sessions.

You can absolutely still maintain your injectables in conjunction with Microneedling. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before and after for Antiwrinkle, and 4 weeks before or after for Dermal Filler.
