Medical-grade micro needling in Canberra.
Collagen induction therapy in Braddon — by consultation.
Micro needling at Authentix is administered by a Registered Nurse. Suitability, protocol and number of sessions are all determined at a prior consultation — this is a medical-grade procedure, not a cosmetic treatment.
Suitability is assessed at consultation prior to any treatment commencing.
The Treatment
Collagen induction therapy.
Micro needling is a procedure in which a device containing fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin. This controlled injury triggers the body's natural wound-healing response — stimulating collagen and elastin production below the dermis. As the skin repairs, its structure improves from within.
The treatment addresses a range of skin quality concerns: textural irregularity, uneven tone, acne scarring, enlarged pores, superficial fine lines and overall skin density. Multiple sessions are typically required, with improvements continuing to develop over the weeks following each treatment as collagen remodelling progresses.
Before Treatment
What happens at your consultation.
A consultation is required before any micro-needling appointment at Authentix.
This ensures the procedure is appropriate for your skin and allows for a detailed treatment plan to be developed.
Skin assessment & medical history
Your Nurse will review your full skin history, current skincare routine and relevant medical background. This forms the basis of all planning decisions.
Contraindication check
Certain skin conditions and circumstances mean micro-needling is not appropriate. Active acne, rosacea, recent procedures, certain medications and skin sensitivities are assessed at this stage.
Procedure development
If suitable, your Nurse will develop a treatment plan — covering the number of sessions recommended, spacing between appointments and any skin preparation required beforehand.
First session (if appropriate)
In some cases, your first treatment may take place at the same appointment as the consultation. This is at the discretion of your practitioner based on the assessment outcome.
Recovery & Results
What to expect in your treatment.
Before your session
Avoid retinol, AHAs and BHAs for at least three days prior. Arrive at your appointment with clean, bare skin — no makeup, SPF or active ingredients.
During the session
A topical numbing cream is applied and given time to take full effect before treatment begins. A typical treatment runs approximately 60 minutes. Many clients describe the sensation as mild pressure with some warmth.
After your session
Redness and mild swelling are normal for 24–48 hours. Avoid sun exposure, active skincare products and makeup for the first 24 hours. Skin improvement builds progressively over 4–6 weeks as collagen remodelling takes effect.
