Microneedling Brisbane

Skin Needling

Dr Scott Horsburgh offers microneedling treatments at his Brisbane clinic. Microneedling may be considered for patients who would like to address changes in skin tone, texture, or pigmentation. During your consultation, Dr Horsburgh will assess your skin and discuss whether this treatment is suitable for you.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a treatment that creates micro-channels in the skin using a device. This process stimulates the skin’s natural repair response, which may support changes in texture, tone, and overall appearance. It may also be considered for concerns such as acne scarring, pigmentation changes, or visible pores.
