Skin Needling & Microneedling Melbourne
Dermapen & Dr. Pen microneedling for acne scars, stretch marks & pigmentation — Prahran & Doncaster East
Melbourne's dermal-therapist-led skin needling clinic
Skin needling — also known as collagen induction therapy or microneedling — uses fine, sterile needles to create precise microchannels in the skin. This activates the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin to remodel scars, texture, stretch marks and pigmentation from the inside out.
Soraya Skin Clinic uses professional-grade Dermapen and Dr. Pen devices at both our Prahran and Doncaster East clinics — with tailored protocols for each condition below. A single session is $260, or lock in a course of 3 or 6 with our skin needling packages (up to 35% off).
Microneedling vs Skin Needling — What's the Difference?
None. Microneedling, skin needling and collagen induction therapy (CIT) are three names for the same treatment, and Melbourne clinics use them interchangeably. Whichever term you searched for, at Soraya it's the same 50-minute, dermal-therapist-led treatment at $260 per session.
The only meaningful difference between clinics is the device and the depth control behind it — which is why we treat exclusively with medical-grade automated pens.
Dermapen Microneedling in Melbourne
Dermapen is the benchmark automated microneedling pen: a sterile 12-needle cartridge oscillating vertically at up to 1,920 punctures per second. Because the needles enter and exit straight down rather than dragging across the skin like a derma roller, Dermapen creates cleaner microchannels, far less epidermal trauma and noticeably faster healing. We also treat with Dr. Pen for body areas such as stretch marks.
- Adjustable depth by zone — 0.5mm around the eyes up to 2.5mm over acne scarring
- Single-use sterile cartridges at both Prahran and Doncaster East
- Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI — it doesn't rely on melanin like laser
- Combines well with DMK, BioRePeel and LED for accelerated recovery

Skin Needling for Acne Scars in Melbourne
Acne scarring is one of the most common concerns we treat at both Melbourne clinics. Dermapen and Dr. Pen microneedling remodels rolling, boxcar and shallow icepick scars by triggering fresh collagen deep in the dermis — where topical products can't reach.
- Best for rolling and boxcar scars — softens depth and blurs edges
- Combines beautifully with LED therapy for calmer, faster recovery
- Safe on all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI) — no laser burn risk
- 6 sessions typically recommended for established scarring
Skin Needling for Stretch Marks in Melbourne
Stretch marks are dermal tears — topical creams can't rebuild the collagen and elastin that's been broken. Skin needling on the body triggers new dermal remodelling, gradually softening the depth, colour and texture of stretch marks over a series.
- Most effective on newer red/purple stretch marks (striae rubra)
- Also improves older silver stretch marks over 6–8 sessions
- Common areas: abdomen, hips, thighs, breasts, upper arms
- Body skin remodels slower than facial skin — commit to the full course
Skin Needling for Pigmentation in Melbourne
Melbourne's UV exposure leaves plenty of sun damage, freckling and post-inflammatory pigmentation on our clients' faces. Skin needling accelerates cell turnover and enhances the penetration of brightening actives — clearing surface pigmentation and evening tone.
- Excellent for sun damage, PIH and superficial pigmentation
- For melasma, we combine needling with Cosmelan (not needling alone)
- Safe on darker skin tones — no laser-related risk of triggering pigment
- Pairs with our DMK Enzyme Therapy for compounding results
