Skin Needling in Forestville
Considering skin needling for uneven texture, fine lines or scarring? Explore Automated Micro Needling (AMN), how it works and what to expect before choosing your treatment.
01 / In detail
What Is AMN Skin Needling?
AMN stands for Automated Micro Needling. Also described as collagen induction therapy, it uses a cartridge of fine needles to create controlled small punctures in the skin.
A skin-renewal approach
The controlled treatment is intended to stimulate the skin’s repair response. It differs from a facial or exfoliating peel because it acts through fine needles rather than surface cleansing.
An individual treatment plan
Needle settings and the area being treated affect both the experience and recovery. Discuss your skin, previous treatments and expectations before proceeding.
02 / Worth knowing
What Can Skin Needling Help With?
Skin needling may help improve the appearance of skin texture and certain cosmetic concerns. Results vary, so it’s worth talking through your skin and expectations before beginning treatment.
Fine lines and uneven appearance
Ask whether needling could help with the appearance of fine lines or uneven tone. It won’t eliminate wrinkles or pigmentation.
Scarring needs assessment
Acne scarring and other marks need individual assessment. Active acne or inflamed skin may require postponement or a different approach.
What affects your results
Your starting skin condition, treatment plan and aftercare all influence the outcome. The amount of improvement varies from person to person.

During Your AMN Appointment
Allow time to discuss suitability as well as the treatment itself.
- 01
Before treatment
Tell us about medicines, skincare actives, allergies, recent procedures, cold sores, skin infections and any tendency to scar. Ask whether your skin is ready for treatment.
- 02
During treatment
The device is passed over the planned area. Warmth, tingling or discomfort can occur; communicate how your skin feels throughout the appointment.
- 03
Before you leave
Ask for written aftercare, what changes to expect and when to seek advice. Plan your next appointment around your actual skin response, not a fixed timetable.
05 / In detail
Recovery & Aftercare
Flushing, sensitivity, tingling or blotchiness may occur after skin needling. Recovery depends on the treatment settings and your individual response; it may take longer than 24 hours.
Protect healing skin
Follow our personalised cleansing, moisturising and sun-protection instructions. Avoid deliberate sun exposure and ask when to restart active skincare or make-up.
Give your skin time
Discuss exercise, heat exposure and upcoming events before treatment. Your skin may need more time before another procedure.
Know when to seek help
Contact us if your response concerns you. Increasing pain, spreading redness or signs of infection warrant prompt medical advice.
06 / Worth knowing
When to Avoid or Postpone Needling
Some skin conditions and health factors mean needling may need to wait. Please talk these through with us before treatment.
Active skin problems
Broken, infected or inflamed skin, active breakouts and recent sunburn should be raised before booking.
Health and medicines
Discuss pregnancy, immune conditions, healing difficulties, bleeding concerns, medicines and a history of raised scars. Do not stop prescribed medication without your prescriber’s advice.
Is AMN the same as micro needling?
AMN is automated micro needling, also known as collagen induction therapy. It uses fine-needle cartridges. Ask us about the settings and area planned for your treatment.
How much does skin needling cost?
Skin needling is $300 per treatment or $900 for a course of three, with a complimentary facial peel and LED component. Please check the package conditions before paying.
Will skin needling remove acne scars?
Skin needling may help improve the appearance of some acne scars. Results depend on the type of scar and your skin condition. Active acne needs assessment before treatment.
Is there downtime after AMN?
There can be redness, tingling and sensitivity. Recovery varies with treatment depth, area and individual response. Recovery can take longer than 24 hours, so allow for this when planning your visit.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of three is available, but the number and spacing of treatments depend on your skin and goals. Ask us about a suitable plan and when to review progress.
Can I combine AMN with a peel or LED?
The three-treatment course includes a peel and LED component. Please check with us how these are scheduled and whether they suit your skin. Don’t combine treatments without advice.
What should I mention before booking?
Mention current medicines, active skincare, pregnancy, skin infections, recent procedures, cold sores and unusual scarring or healing. We can explain whether treatment should be delayed.
