Skin needling requires minimal but real downtime, and we believe in setting honest expectations rather than selling you a recovery that doesn't match reality.

Immediately following treatment, you can expect:

• Redness and mild warmth across treated areas — similar in appearance to a mild sunburn

• Mild swelling, particularly around the forehead, cheeks, and under-eye area

• A tight, tingling sensation as the skin begins its healing response

• Minor sensitivity to touch

By day two and three, redness will begin to subside. Some patients experience mild flaking or peeling — particularly around the mouth region — as the skin sheds and renews. This is a normal and expected part of the process.

Most patients are comfortable returning to work the following day with minimal or no makeup. By day five to seven, the skin typically looks settled, refreshed, and more even in tone.

During your recovery period, avoid:

• Sun exposure — keep treated skin out of direct sun and apply SPF daily

• Makeup for the first 24 hours post treatment

• AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating actives for at least five days

• Retinol and vitamin A derivatives for five to seven days

• Physical exfoliation of any kind until the skin is fully settled

• Swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours

If you have any concerns during your recovery, contact the clinic directly. Our team is available to guide you.

Not all needling devices are created equal, and the device matters more than most patients realise.

SkinPen is the world's first FDA-cleared and TGA-cleared microneedling device. Its biomimetic technology creates microchannels in a precise, controlled pattern that initiates the skin's three-phase healing cycle — inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling — without the thermal damage associated with laser-based resurfacing. This means meaningful results with significantly less downtime.

Each SkinPen cartridge is single-use and sterile, disposed of after every treatment. There is no reuse, no risk of cross-contamination, and no compromise on clinical standards. At Rejuved, we maintain a strict infection control protocol across all skin treatments — because clinical outcomes depend on clinical integrity.

Before a microneedling session, consult with your therapist to discuss goals and medical history. Avoid sun exposure and discontinue use of exfoliating skincare products beforehand. Keep skin hydrated and avoid blood-thinning medications (how ever, if ypu have been prescribed medication for a medical condition do not cease these) or supplements (such as fish oil) 3 days prior to treatment. Follow any additional instructions provided by your skincare professional. These preparations ensure skin is in prime condition for microneedling, helping to promote better results and a smoother recovery process.

A course of three Rejuran skin needling treatments, spaced four weeks apart, is recommended for best results. This interval allows each treatment to complete its healing cycle before the next, so results build with each session.

Results are gradual rather than immediate, with skin quality, hydration and tone continuing to improve over the weeks following your course.

A maintenance treatment every few months can help sustain your results. Your treating clinician will give you a clear recommendation at your consultation based on your skin and your goals.
