Microneedling in Invercargill: What Happens During the Treatment

Ever looked in the mirror and thought — “My skin just doesn’t glow like it used to?”

You’re not alone! Whether it’s fine lines, acne scars, or dullness, our skin often needs a little push to bounce back. That’s where microneedling steps in — a simple, science-backed treatment that helps your skin repair and refresh itself naturally.

If you’re in Invercargill and wondering what microneedling is really like, keep reading. We’re breaking it down step by step — no fancy words, just honest info you can trust.

What Is Microneedling and Why Do People Love It?

Microneedling is like giving your skin a mini workout. It uses super-fine needles to create tiny micro-points on the surface of your skin. These small “nudges” trigger your skin to produce more collagen and elastin — two proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and young-looking.

The best part? It’s natural. No fillers, no harsh chemicals — just your skin healing itself, but better.

At Flawless Beauty Invercargill, our team uses professional-grade microneedling tools that are safe, gentle, and perfect for Kiwi skin types.

Who Is Microneedling For?

Almost anyone who wants better-looking skin!

Microneedling can help with:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars or pitted scars

• Uneven tone and texture

• Dullness and rough patches

• Stretch marks

• Enlarged pores

Whether you’re 25 and want to keep your glow, or 45 and want to bring it back — this treatment works wonders.

What Happens During Your Microneedling Appointment?

Alright, here’s the real deal — what actually happens when you book a microneedling session at Flawless Beauty.

Step 1: We Talk Skin

Before anything, we sit down with you and chat about your skin goals. Maybe it’s acne scars, maybe texture, maybe overall glow — we listen first. Every skin is different, and so is our approach.

Step 2: Cleanse & Numb

We gently cleanse your skin, then apply a numbing cream so you feel almost nothing during the process. Most people say it feels more like a light vibration than needles.

Step 3: The Needling Magic

Using our advanced microneedling device, your therapist glides it over your skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These trigger your body’s natural healing process — basically telling your skin, “Hey, let’s make some new, healthy cells!”

You might feel tiny pricks or tingles, but it’s very tolerable.

Step 4: Cooling & Calm

After the treatment, we apply soothing serums or masks to calm the skin and lock in hydration. This helps reduce redness and speeds up recovery.

Step 5: Aftercare Talk

We’ll guide you on simple do’s and don’ts — like avoiding makeup for a day, staying out of the sun, and keeping your skin clean and moisturised.

What Does It Feel Like After Microneedling?

Right after the session, your skin may look slightly pink — kind of like a light sunburn. That’s normal! Within a day or two, it calms down, and within a week, you’ll start noticing that soft, radiant glow.

Over the next few weeks, as collagen builds up, your skin keeps getting better — smoother, firmer, and fresher.

Real Talk: Is It Painful?

Honestly? Not really. Most people say it’s much easier than they expected. The numbing cream makes a big difference. You’ll feel tiny vibrations or scratches, but it’s more strange than painful.

If you can handle eyebrow threading or a facial, you’ll be totally fine with microneedling!

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Results can start showing after one session, but for the best glow, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart works best. It gives your skin time to build collagen layer by layer.

Our team will suggest a treatment plan that suits your skin type and goals — no one-size-fits-all approach here.
