Micro-Needling… you’ve probably heard the term floating around the skin world. For some, it sounds exciting. For others? A little intimidating. Maybe even scary. At Harleh, Micro-Needling isn’t scary, it’s strategic. It’s precise. And it’s one of the most powerful ways we can stimulate long-term skin rejuvenation. We believe you should fully understand the treatments you’re investing in. So let’s step inside our world of Micro-Needling, the science, the strategy and why it works.
What Is Micro-Needling?
Traditionally, micro-needling is known as a collagen induction therapy (CIT). Using advanced, medical-grade devices, we create tiny, controlled micro-channels within the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural wound-healing cascade. When your skin recognises controlled injury, it responds by producing:
Collagen
Elastin
Growth factors
The result?
Firmer skin
Smoother texture
Refined pores
Softened scarring
Improved elasticity
And importantly, results that continue to improve over time. Yes, we intentionally create controlled micro-injuries. But they are calculated, customised, and performed by highly trained therapists in a safe clinical environment. This is not damage. This is regeneration.
Our Needling Portfolio at Harleh
Different skins. Different concerns. Different tools.
At Harleh, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. We offer multiple modalities so we can tailor depth, intensity and delivery depending on your goals.
DermaFrac
DermaFrac uses a rolling micro-channeling system that simultaneously infuses targeted serums into the skin. This allows us to treat the surface layers while enhancing hydration and barrier support.
Best suited for:
Dehydrated or compromised skin
Superficial pigmentation
Early signs of ageing
Mild texture concerns
Clients wanting minimal downtime
DermaFrac delivers glow + correction, without aggressive depth.
Evo & Dermapen (Traditional Needling Pens)
These advanced needling devices allow us to work at variable depths, depending on your concern. This is where we can truly remodel collagen at a structural level.
Best suited for:
Deep lines & wrinkles
Acne scarring / pitted scarring
Texture irregularities
Stretch marks
Advanced collagen remodelling
This is where precision matters most. Depth, speed and technique are customised to your skin condition and tolerance for optimal outcomes.
Cosmedix Deep Sea Peel (Liquid Micro-Needling)
The Cosmedix Deep Sea Peel is not traditional mechanical needling. Instead, it works as a biological collagen stimulator. Formulated with marine spicules (natural microscopic structures), this treatment creates a micro-stimulation effect within the skin, mimicking the collagen activation we see with needling, without a device. We often refer to this as “liquid micro-needling.”
Best suited for:
Dull, congested skin
Pigmentation support
Clients wanting intense resurfacing
Collagen stimulation without traditional device penetration
It’s a wake-up call for tired skin, stimulating renewal while accelerating cellular turnover.
Why Create Controlled Wounds?
Because controlled injury = controlled regeneration.
When stimulated correctly, the skin:
Reorganises collagen fibres
Softens scar tissue
Improves elasticity
Refines texture
Supports pigment dispersion
Strengthens the dermal matrix
It’s not about damaging the skin. It’s about teaching it to rebuild stronger, thicker and more resilient. Collagen decline begins in our mid-20s. Micro-Needling is one of the most effective ways to counteract that natural loss.
Why Do We Offer Different Types of Needling?
Because your skin is unique.Your goals, your age, your barrier health, your lifestyle, your downtime tolerance, they all matter. Some clients need hydration and glow. Others need structural remodelling. Some need correction. Some need prevention.Your treatment plan is always customised.
Always strategic. Always intentional.
Who Cannot Have Micro-Needling?
Safety is non-negotiable at Harleh.
Micro-Needling may not be suitable if you:
Are on blood-thinning medication
Are currently taking or recently completed isotretinoin
Have active infections (cold sores, cystic acne flare-ups)
Are prone to keloid scarring
Have certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders
Are pregnant (device depth-dependent treatments may be postponed)
A thorough consultation is always performed prior to treatment to ensure suitability.
Who Is Best Suited to Needling?
Honestly? Almost everyone. Collagen decline affects us all.
You’re an ideal candidate if you want to:
Age proactively
Improve firmness
Soften fine lines
Reduce acne scarring
Improve post-inflammatory pigmentation
Refine texture
Strengthen your skin long-term
Enhance product penetration
Micro-Needling isn’t just corrective. It’s preventative medicine for your skin.
What Results Can You Expect?
Results are progressive and cumulative.
You may notice:
Improved glow within 7–14 days
Progressive collagen improvement over 4–12 weeks
Smoother texture
Firmer, more elastic skin
Improved tone and clarity
For advanced concerns, a series is recommended for optimal outcomes. Consistency creates transformation.
The Harleh Philosophy
Needling is not about aggression. It’s about intention.
At Harleh, we combine:
Advanced devices
Certified training
Evidence-based protocols
Medical-grade skincare
Personalised post-care guidance
We don’t just “needle.” We design a skin strategy. If you’ve felt unsure, intimidated or curious, let this be your sign... Micro-Needling isn’t scary. It’s science. It’s controlled. And when performed correctly? It’s transformative.
