The treatment

What is Level 1 Needling?

Level 1 Skin Needling is a great introduction to microneedling, designed to rejuvenate the skin on the face and neck.

Using controlled, superficial micro-needles, it improves overall skin health while supporting your natural collagen production for a smoother, brighter complexion. It helps enhance skin texture, boost hydration and increase the absorption of active serums, and it's ideal for improving dullness, early signs of ageing, uneven skin tone and mild congestion, all with minimal downtime.

Suitable for most skin types, it's perfect as your first skin needling experience or as part of a regular skin maintenance plan.

How it works

How your treatment works.

Level 1 Skin Needling works with your skin's own renewal process, gently.

Using controlled, superficial micro-needles, it creates tiny micro-channels in the surface of the skin. This does two things:

  • It prompts your natural collagen and elastin production, refining texture and radiance over time
  • It boosts hydration and increases the absorption of active serums, so your skincare works harder

Because it stays superficial, it refreshes and maintains the skin with minimal downtime, making it an ideal first step or a regular part of your routine.

What to expect

Downtime
Minimal. Some mild redness that settles quickly.
Sessions
Lovely as a one-off refresh, and best maintained with regular treatments as part of a skin plan.
How to care for your skin afterwards

Been here before?

You've probably already spent money on skin that didn't change.

Real skin concerns don't respond to guesswork, or to whatever machine a clinic happens to own. They respond to the right treatment, at the right depth, in the right order. That is the difference between spending on your skin and actually solving it.

Why Cronulla Skin Sanctuary

Real results and genuine care

For twenty years the Shire has trusted the Sanctuary to take the guesswork out of skin. Paramedical treatments, honest advice, and a therapist who holds your history: that is the difference between a fluffy facial and a plan that actually changes your skin.

Every skin is different. Here is what tends to happen afterwards, and the times it is worth pausing to check with your therapist first.

What's normal afterwards

Mild and short-lived:

  • Some mild redness, usually settling quickly
  • A feeling of warmth or tightness for a short time
When to check with us first

  • You're pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have an active breakout, infection or skin condition in the area
  • You have a history of keloid or raised scarring
  • You've had recent sun exposure, or use active treatments like retinoids or roaccutane
