Microneedling in Ashby, near Maclean
When your skin feels like it needs more than another facial
Maybe it’s old acne scarring that still catches the light, pores and texture that seem more noticeable than they used to, or skin that simply isn’t feeling as smooth and firm anymore.
Microneedling is one of the advanced skin treatments I may consider when we want to encourage the skin’s natural renewal and work on changes within the skin, rather than simply treating the surface.
At Ashby Beauty Bar, your treatment is selected around your skin, your concerns and what is appropriate for you. Microneedling may be used on its own or incorporated into a more personalised treatment plan.
Microneedling for clients from Maclean, Yamba, Iluka and across the Clarence Valley, NSW.
What Microneedling Can Support
Microneedling may be considered for a range of skin concerns, depending on what is currently happening within your skin.
Texture & Pores
Uneven texture · roughness · enlarged-looking pores
Fine Lines & Firmness
Fine lines · reduced firmness · general skin rejuvenation
Acne Scarring
Established acne scars · uneven surface texture · post-acne changes
Selected Pigmentation & Scars
Suitable pigmentation concerns · surgical or injury scars · stretch marks
Treatment depth, technique and serum selection are adjusted according to your skin, treatment area and what we’re working on.
Active acne, significant inflammation, infection or an impaired skin barrier may need to settle before microneedling is considered.
How 1NEED Pro Microneedling Works
The 1NEED Pro device creates controlled microchannels within the skin, triggering a natural repair response that may support collagen production and gradual improvements in skin texture.
Treatment depth and technique are adjusted according to the area being treated, your skin condition and the concern we’re working on.
Hyaluronic Acid Microneedling
Hyaluronic acid may be used during microneedling to support hydration and comfortable movement of the device across the skin.
Fusion Mesotherapy Microneedling
For some skin concerns, a carefully selected Fusion Mesotherapy serum may be used when your skin and treatment goals suit a more targeted approach.
The serum is selected according to your skin assessment rather than using the same formula for everybody.

What to Expect After Microneedling
Your skin may look pink or red immediately after microneedling and can feel warm, tight or slightly sensitive, similar to mild sunburn.
Over the next few days, some dryness, tightness or light flaking can occur as the skin settles. How your skin responds will depend on the treatment depth, area treated and your individual skin response.
Keep your aftercare simple while the skin barrier recovers. You’ll be given aftercare guidance based on the treatment performed and your skin on the day.
Plan for a little skin downtime rather than a perfectly normal-looking face immediately afterwards.
How Many Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?
There isn’t one set number of microneedling treatments that suits everybody.
If you’re working on general skin rejuvenation, texture or early changes in firmness, your treatment plan may look quite different from someone working on established acne scarring or more noticeable textural changes.
Some clients include microneedling occasionally within their ongoing skin treatments, while others may benefit from a planned series with appropriate recovery time between sessions.
We’ll look at your starting point, what you’d realistically like to improve and how your skin responds before deciding what comes next.
Your treatment plan can change as your skin changes.
Microneedling FAQs
-
Most clients can expect some redness, warmth or tightness after treatment. Mild dryness or flaking may follow over the next few days. Your recovery will depend on the treatment depth, area treated and how your skin responds.
-
Treatment spacing depends on what we’re treating, the depth used and how your skin recovers. Enough time is allowed between treatments for the skin’s repair and remodelling process before we decide when to treat again.
-
I recommend leaving the skin clean and avoiding makeup immediately after treatment. Your individual aftercare instructions will explain when it is appropriate to reintroduce makeup and your usual skincare.
-
It’s generally best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas and activities that cause heavy sweating while the skin is freshly treated. I’ll advise you when these can be resumed based on your treatment.
-
Microneedling may be considered for established acne scarring and uneven post-acne texture. Active inflammatory acne needs to be assessed first, as settling inflammation and supporting the skin barrier may take priority.
-
Some pigmentation concerns may be suitable for microneedling, while others require a different approach.
Pigmentation should be assessed before treatment so we can consider the type of pigment, your skin and the risk of further pigmentation.
-
No. Your skin condition, medical history, medications, active infections, inflammation and recent treatments all need to be considered.
If microneedling isn’t appropriate at the time, we can discuss other options or wait until your skin is ready.
-
LED may be incorporated into your treatment plan when appropriate. The treatment sequence and LED settings are selected according to your skin and the treatment being performed.
