Advanced Skin Treatments Melbourne | Natskin


Understanding Advanced Skin Treatments

If you’re looking to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, or achieve stronger, healthier skin, you may have come across treatments like SkinPen microneedling and Dermafrac.

While both treatments involve microneedling, they are designed to achieve very different outcomes.

At Natskin Melbourne, we tailor every treatment to your skin—ensuring you receive the most effective approach for real, long-term results.


 What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling treatment designed to stimulate collagen, breaks pigmentation up and rebuilds the skin from within.

It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and encouraging new collagen and elastin production.

SkinPen is ideal for:

  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Overall skin strengthening

Benefits of SkinPen:

  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Improves skin structure over time
  • Helps refine pigmentation and tone
  • Targets all types of scaring
  • Supports long-term skin regeneration
  • needle depth from .25mm to 2.5mm

As an advanced, corrective treatment, SkinPen does require some downtime, as the skin goes through a natural healing process.

 Results are not immediate.
Visible improvement typically develops over up to 3 months, as new collagen forms and the skin becomes stronger, smoother, and more refined.


 What Is Dermafrac?

Dermafrac is a 4-in-1 advanced facial treatment and often the perfect first step into advanced skin treatments.

It combines multiple technologies in one treatment to deliver both immediate results and ongoing skin improvement.

Dermafrac includes:

  • Microdermabrasion to deeply exfoliate the surface
  • Microneedling to stimulate collagen
  • Customisable serum infusion delivered into the skin
  • LED therapy to calm, soothe, and support recovery

Customisation is key

One of the biggest advantages of Dermafrac is its ability to be tailored to your skin:

  • Adjustable needle depth (.25mm or .5mm) depending on your skin condition
  • Targeted serum infusions, including:
    • Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration
    • Vitamin C for brightening and antioxidant protection
    • Brightening complex for pigmentation
    • Rejuvenate cocktail for anti-ageing and skin renewal
    • clarifying cocktail

Dermafrac is ideal for:

  • Dehydrated or dull skin
  • Early signs of ageing
  • Uneven skin tone or pigmentation
  • Clients new to advanced treatments
  • maintenance treatments following Skin Pen or course of peels.

Benefits of Dermafrac:

  • Immediate glow and skin refinement
  • Deep hydration and nourishment
  • Fully customised treatment approach
  • Minimal downtime
  • A gentle introduction to corrective treatments

 Dermafrac is perfect for those wanting visible results with little to no downtime, while improving overall skin quality.


 Expert Insight: Treating Pigmentation

Pigmentation is a complex skin concern and often requires a combination approach for the best results.

At Natskin, we typically incorporate:
