Dermapen Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling)

Dermapen Collagen Induction Therapy uses a medical-grade motorised microneedling device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural wound-healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. Treats fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and dullness. Sessions run approximately 30 minutes with a brief recovery period of mild redness for 24 to 48 hours.

Dermapen Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) at Fresh Clinics Melbourne uses a precision motorised microneedling device to systematically create thousands of micro-channels across the skin surface, stimulating a controlled wound-healing cascade that results in new collagen and elastin synthesis in the dermis. The adjustable needle depth allows the treating clinician to target different skin concerns — shallower settings for superficial texture refinement, pigmentation, and fine lines; deeper settings for atrophic acne scars, stretch marks, and more pronounced skin laxity. As the micro-channels form, the skin initiates a three-phase healing response: inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling, with the remodelling phase producing the gradual skin quality improvements that continue for weeks to months after each session. Melbourne patients commonly seek Dermapen CIT for ice pick and rolling acne scars, post-inflammatory pigmentation, enlarged pores, sun-damaged skin, and overall skin rejuvenation. Topical serums including hyaluronic acid or growth factors are often infused into the fresh micro-channels immediately post-treatment to enhance active ingredient penetration. Sessions typically run 30 minutes with topical numbing cream applied beforehand; mild redness and pinpoint bleeding are expected post-treatment findings that typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. A series of three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart is recommended for the best cumulative outcome. Priced from $390 AUD per session at this St Kilda, Melbourne location.
