Focused Medical Micro-Needling *FMM
Focused medical micro-needling is a targeted, advanced form of microneedling that combines the precision of tattoo-style cartridge needles with a medical-grade serum—our clinic’s Liquid Gold—to stimulate controlled skin remodelling in specific problem areas.
How it works
Precise needle delivery: Tattoo cartridges allow for consistent needle depth and density, enabling targeted work on deep acne scars, stubborn lines, and localized wrinkles without treating unnecessary surrounding tissue.
Controlled micro-injury: The needles create micro-channels in the dermis. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing response—collagen and elastin production—resulting in firmer, smoother skin over time.
Medical-grade serum infusion: Liquid Gold is applied during the procedure and delivered into the micro-channels. Its formulation is designed for clinical use to enhance healing, boost hydration, and support collagen synthesis for better outcomes than needling alone.
Benefits
Targeted results: Ideal for deep acne scars, pronounced lines and wrinkles, and other focal textural concerns.
Greater consistency: Tattoo cartridges provide reproducible needle penetration and patterning, improving treatment predictability.
Enhanced product absorption: Micro-channels allow Liquid Gold to penetrate more deeply and act where it’s most needed.
Minimal downtime: Compared with more invasive procedures, focused micro-needling provides meaningful improvement with a controlled recovery period.
Safety and expertise
Medical-grade equipment and serum: Using clinical-grade cartridges and Liquid Gold ensures safety and efficacy when administered correctly.
Knowledge-based practice: Proper assessment of skin type, scar depth, and treatment goals is essential. Specialised training in needle selection, depth settings, and sequencing reduces risk and maximizes results.
Aftercare: Post-treatment care is important to support healing, reduce infection risk, and optimise outcomes—this includes gentle cleansing, sun protection, and following clinician instructions on topical use.
Who is a good candidate
Clients with deep acne scarring, creases or wrinkles not fully responsive to topical treatments.
Individuals seeking targeted improvement without the recovery associated with more invasive resurfacing.
Candidates should be medically screened to rule out contraindications (active infection, certain skin conditions, or recent isotretinoin use).
Typical course and expectations
Multiple sessions are usually required, spaced according to skin response and treatment intensity.
Gradual improvement in texture and firmness is seen over weeks to months as collagen remodels.
Combining focused micro-needling with other modalities (where appropriate) can enhance overall results.
At our clinic, focused medical micro-needling using tattoo cartridges and Liquid Gold is delivered within a knowledge-based framework to ensure safe, targeted, and effective outcomes for deep scarring and lines.
