About Micro-Needling
Emily’s micro-needling treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin within your body. This process rejuvenates and enhances your skin’s appearance, without the risks or downtime associated with invasive surgeries. During your consultation, not only will the benefits of your micro-needling treatment be discussed, but your suitability, the common and rare risks, a financial quote, and aftercare instructions will also be discussed in detail. Emily designs a tailored treatment plan for each individual patient to improve your skin’s quality, reduce discomfort and boost your overall confidence.
Treatment benefits
Micro-needling is also commonly known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It involves superficially damaging the surface layers (epidermis and dermis) of your skin, using the combination of tiny needles and a hyaluronic acid serum. This process stimulates the natural repair process within your body to produce more collagen and elastin for smoother, rejuvenated looking skin. At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, our micro-needling treatments can target your skin concerns in many different areas such as your face, neck, decolletage, hands and more.
Ideal for patients who are seeking treatment for:
- Skin quality concerns
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines or wrinkles
- Loose or crepey skin
- Improve fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduce prevalence of scar tissue or stretch marks
- Improve acne
- Refine pores
- Non-invasive procedure
At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, your micro-needling journey starts with you. Emily begins every appointment with an initial consultation, to listen to your story and cosmetic goals. We feel honoured to be a part of your cosmetic journey.

Why Choose Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane for your Micro-needling
Patient-Centred Consultation
At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane we allocate one-hour appointments with Emily and Dr. Tarek for every micro-needling consultation. We do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, we are dedicated to ensuring that your treatment journey is personalised and unique to you. Emily has designed a unique consultation process for micro-needling which prioritises your goals, minimal scarring and safety.
Treatment Planning
Each treatment has different variables such as duration, downtime and length of expected results. When formulating your micro-needling treatment plan, Emily will work closely with you to ensure that the plan accommodates to your lifestyle, upcoming events and priorities.
Aftercare and Follow-Ups
Your micro-needling journey does not finish at the end of your consultation. At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, our Clinic Coordinator, will regularly keep in touch with you to help monitor your progress, and arrange any further follow-up appointments as required.
On the day
Consultation and Pre-Procedure Examination: Your appointment will begin with a personal consultation with Emily. During this consultation you will have ample time to discuss your specific skin concerns and determine the best treatment approach to address your cosmetic goals.
Informed Consent and Treatment Planning: After the initial consultation, Emily will discuss the treatment in detail, explaining the steps, potential risks, and expected outcomes. You will then go through the consent process to ensure you fully understand and are comfortable to proceed with the treatment. ‘Before’ pictures will also be taken for your medical record to assist in planning and documenting the treatment.
Numbing and Procedure: Emily will apply numbing cream to ensure your treatment remains as comfortable as possible. Using a micro-needle pen, she will carefully pass over the targeted treatment areas. This technique allows for precision and the most beneficial outcome.
Immediate Post-Procedure Care: Immediately following the treatment, Emily will apply a suitable soothing serum to the treated area. She will then provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
Follow-Up and Further Care: After your treatment, you will be able to book any follow up appointments or further sessions, as required. Emily will also reach out 1 week after your treatment to monitor your healing process.
Aftercare for your Micro-Needling
After your micro-needling treatment, Emily will provide you with written aftercare instructions to ensure you obtain the best possible results. Typically, your aftercare directions would include:
- Apply a gentle moisturiser to your treatment area for up to 7 days following your treatment
- Do not pick, squeeze, or agitate the skin during the recovery period.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure for 2 days following your treatment
- Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for up to 48 hours after your treatment
- Avoid intensive cardio, exercise or gymnasium regimens
