Microneedling: Revitalize Your Skin Naturally

Looking for microneedling in Christchurch that’s tailored, results-driven, and done with care?
At Totally RAD Beauty in Papanui Christchurch, our microneedling (collagen induction therapy) targets texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven tone by kick-starting your skin’s natural repair response. We offer two microneedling options, from a customised intro treatment to a premium precision option, and we’ll guide you to the right choice based on your goals and recovery time.
Expect smoother texture, fresher glow, and skin that feels stronger over time.

Treatment Details:

What it is:

Microneedling involves the use of a device with fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin texture and elasticity.


Choose your microneedling option:

  • Signature RAD Microneedling (Dr. Pen): a customised, flexible option using tailored cartridges and serum blends for glow, hydration, and early correction.  (From $240)

  • Dermapen Microneedling (Premium): a clinical-grade, precision option for clients wanting stronger correction and enhanced rejuvenation. (From $280)

How it works:

  • Fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the natural repair process.

  • Collagen and elastin production are boosted, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.

  • Allows for deeper penetration of serums and active ingredients for enhanced results.

Who it’s for:

  • Individuals with acne scars, fine lines, or wrinkles.

  • Those looking to improve uneven skin tone or texture.

  • Suitable for clients with enlarged pores or stretch marks.

Why You Should Book This Treatment:

Benefits of Microneedling:

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of scars.

  • Enhances skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production.

  • Reduces hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone.

  • Minimally invasive with minimal downtime.

How Microneedling Differs from Fractional RF Microneedling:

While microneedling focuses on the surface layers of the skin and stimulates natural collagen production, Fractional RF Microneedling takes skin rejuvenation to the next level. By combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, it penetrates deeper layers to tighten and firm the skin while also reducing scars and wrinkles.


If you’re seeking a more advanced solution for aging skin or deep scarring, we recommend exploring our Fractional RF Microneedling treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How much is microneedling in Christchurch at Totally RAD Beauty?

  • Microneedling starts from $240. Your final investment depends on which option you choose and any enhancements.


2. How long does an appointment take?

  • Allow around 90 minutes for numbing, treatment time, and calming finishing steps.


3. Does microneedling hurt?

  • We apply numbing cream first. Most clients describe it as mildly scratchy or prickly but very manageable.


4. What skin concerns does microneedling help?

  • Texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven tone. It’s designed to support collagen and smoother-looking skin over time.


5. How many sessions will I need?

6. What downtime should I expect?

  • Downtime is usually minimal. Expect redness and a warm, tight feeling for 24–48 hours (a bit like mild sunburn). Most clients return to normal quickly with the right aftercare and SPF.


7. Can I add LED or exosomes?

  • Yes. We often pair microneedling with LED for soothing support, and exosome add-ons are available for enhanced recovery and results.
