Skin Needling · Hobart
Rebuild your skin, from within.
Our medical grade collagen induction treatment works with your skin’s own healing intelligence to smooth texture, soften scarring, refine pores, and restore firmness. Real, lasting change, without heat or harsh chemicals.
Your first session always begins with a consultation, so your treatment is planned around your skin.
What it is
Collagen induction, done properly.
Skin needling uses our medical grade EXCEED device to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro channels in the skin. Your body responds by sending fresh collagen and elastin to the area, the building blocks of firm, smooth, resilient skin.
Because there is no heat and no light involved, needling is safe and effective for every skin tone. And because it works with your skin’s natural repair process rather than against it, the results keep building long after you leave us.
At White Sage, we treat skin holistically. Your needling journey is never just one treatment, it is a considered plan that supports your skin from the inside out.
What it helps with
- Acne scarring and old marks
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Fine lines and early ageing
- Loss of firmness and laxity
- Dull, tired, lacklustre skin
How it works
Your needling journey
Three simple stages, guided by your therapist from start to finish.
Consultation and prep
We assess your skin in depth, discuss your goals, and design your plan. We will also guide you on how to prepare your skin in the days before, so it is primed for the best possible result.
The treatment
The EXCEED device gently glides across the skin at a customised depth. Most clients describe it as a light vibration or prickling. We finish by infusing customised serums and a calming recovery mask.
Recovery and results
Skin may look flushed for 24 to 48 hours, like a light sunburn. Over the following weeks your skin regenerates, revealing a smoother, firmer, more luminous complexion that keeps improving.

Before and after
How to prepare and recover
A little care before and after makes a real difference to your result. Tap to open each guide.
Before your treatment
In the lead up, the goal is calm, well prepared skin. We will personalise this at your consultation, but as a general guide:
- Five days before, pause active skincare: retinol and Vitamin A, Vitamin C, exfoliating acids such as glycolic and salicylic, and benzoyl peroxide.
- Five days before, also pause fish oil and omega supplements, as they can increase sensitivity.
- Avoid sunburn, fake tan, and strong sun exposure in the week beforehand.
- No waxing, laser, or other facials in the treatment area for at least a week prior.
- Arrive with clean skin and stay well hydrated in the days before.
- If you are prone to cold sores, let us know in advance so we can advise you.
After your treatment
Your skin is in repair mode, so keep things gentle and let it do its work:
- Expect warmth and a flushed, tight feeling for 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn.
- Leave makeup off for the first 24 hours, and only use the gentle products we recommend.
- Pause all active skincare for five to seven days, then reintroduce slowly.
- Avoid heat for 24 to 48 hours: no sauna, hot showers, heavy exercise, or swimming.
- Wear SPF every day and avoid direct sun while your skin settles.
- Do not pick, scrub, or exfoliate. Keep skin hydrated and let it heal naturally.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how comfortable it is. The sensation is usually described as a light vibration or gentle prickling. Your therapist customises the depth and pace to keep you comfortable throughout.
Is there downtime?
Very little. Your skin will look flushed and feel warm for around 24 to 48 hours, much like a light sunburn. Many clients are comfortable returning to normal life the next day, especially with our recommended aftercare.
How many treatments will I need?
For visible, lasting change we recommend a course of three to six treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by seasonal maintenance. Your therapist will map out the right plan for your skin at your consultation.
When will I see results?
You will often notice a fresh glow within days. The deeper work, new collagen and elastin, builds over the following weeks and continues improving for up to twelve weeks after each session. Results are best after a full course.
Is a consultation required first?
Yes. Your first needling visit always includes an in depth consultation so we can assess your skin, plan your treatment, and make sure needling is the right choice for you. It is part of treating your skin safely and properly.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
Yes. Because skin needling uses no heat and no light, it is safe and effective across all skin tones, including deeper tones that are not always suited to laser based treatments.
How is it different from nano needling or RevitaPen?
Nano needling, such as our RevitaPen infusion, uses tiny pins rather than needles to deliver active ingredients without piercing the skin. It is gentler with no downtime, lovely for hydration and glow. Medical needling goes deeper to remodel collagen and is the stronger choice for scarring, texture, and firmness.
Who is not suited to needling?
Skin needling is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active breakouts or infections, or for certain skin conditions and recent medications. This is exactly what your consultation is for, so we can keep you safe and recommend the best path for your skin.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
We ask that you leave makeup off for the first 24 hours to let your skin recover. After that, you can return to your routine gradually, starting with the gentle products we recommend.
