Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and diminish acne scars.
At A Plus Cosmetic Clinic, we offer advanced microneedling treatments in Auckland to help rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. Microneedling is ideal for clients seeking a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion without the need for invasive procedures.
Microneedling can be used on the face, neck, and décolletage to target a range of skin concerns, from fine lines to acne scars, enlarged pores, and pigmentation. This treatment delivers long-lasting results by naturally enhancing the skin’s renewal process, making it a popular choice for those wanting to improve skin tone and texture.
Dermapen 4™
Dermapen 4 is the latest micro-needling technology on the market. The technique of the Dermapen 4 that our therapists use is a cross-hatch pattern over your face. This distributes microscopic punctures to the top layers of the skin – a few millimetres deep depending on the treatment, using very small needles. This treatment stimulates the healing and repairing of the skin.
It triggers an inflammatory natural wound healing response in the skin which builds up renewal, repair, and rejuvenation and as well as collagen production resulting in fresh, new collagen and elastin, and a rejuvenated and more youthful skin.

This non-invasive treatment promotes the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in a more youthful, radiant complexion with minimal downtime.
