What Is EXCEED Skin Needling?
We’ve chosen the EXCEED medical device because it’s the only clinically proven system to:
- Treat acne scarring
- Reduce scar depth
- Normalise skin structure
It also holds the highest industry approval, listed with the TGA in Australia, ensuring safe, reliable, and effective results.
What It Isn’t
- This isn’t a vampire facial (PRP), though results can be similar, especially now that we can infuse hydrating, plumping, and brightening serums during treatment!
- Minimal downtime: You’ll leave with a slightly red, sunburn-like flush- not a bloody face.
- Precision: Treatment is possible under the eyes and on sensitive areas.
- Gentle yet effective: Needle depth and frequency are tailored for your unique skin goals.
Think of it like laser treatment without the downtime.
How It Works
The EXCEED device creates hundreds of micro-punctures in the top layer of the skin, stimulating:
- Cell turnover
- Collagen and elastin production
- Skin regeneration
The result? Smoother, clearer, plumper, more radiant skin, without compromising your skin barrier.
Professional guidance ensures treatments are safe, targeted, and tailored to your skin at every session.
Expected Results & Mild Side Effects
Typical outcomes from a course of treatments include:
- Increased natural collagen for plump, glowing skin
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Refined pores and improved texture
- Improved capillary and pigmentation concerns
- Acne scar reduction
- Congestion relief and rosacea support
Mild side effects are normal: redness, slight swelling, or tiny pinpoint marks may appear for 24–48 hours. These are part of the healing process and indicate your skin is responding. Days 3- 5 you may find you are very dry, keep applying your water based products, by day 7 your skin will be GLOWING.
Aftercare: Rest the day of treatment and avoid heat-inducing exercise (hot yoga, HIIT, saunas) for 1 week post treatment . Gentle movement like walking, Pilates, or slow-flow yoga is fine after 48 hours ( just no heat!)
Sun care: Your skin will be more sensitive, apply broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 7 days.
Preparing for Your Treatment
New Kinder Life clients:
We recommend starting with a 1-hour Led Awaken facial to assess your skin and prepare it for skin needling. Treatment suitability will be confirmed before starting a course.
Existing clients:
We’ll reassess your skin at your next appointment to ensure it’s ready. Sometimes, a Led Awaken facial is enough prep, or you may be ready to start straight away.
Internal prep is key:
Take Zinzino Omega-3 and BalanceOil for at least 1 month prior to treatment (vegan options available)
Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours leading up to your session
Stop supplements 1–3 days before treatment depending on your plan
Ideally, avoid alcohol the night before your treatment, and we also recommend not consuming alcohol on the day of your appointment or the evening following your skin needling treatment.
Brisbane seasonal tip: We recommend starting your prep in summer so treatments can be scheduled outside peak sun months for optimal results and safety.
Think of it as training for a marathon, prepping your skin internally ensures the best results with minimal downtime.
