Also known as collagen induction therapy, dermal needling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates a cascade of healing, encouraging the skin to regenerate and produce new collagen - the key to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

• Stimulates collagen & elastin
• Improves skin texture & tone
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimises pores and uneven skin
• Fades pigmentation and supports melasma treatment
• Improves the appearance of acne and surgical scars
• Softens stretch marks
• Can support hair restoration in some cases
• Pairs well with skin rejuvenation and regenerative treatments

Skin Needling Options at The Face Place:
We offer three expert methods of skin needling in Auckland, each suited to different skin types and goals:

• SkinPen® Microneedling – TGA-approved and FDA-cleared, this is the most precise and clinically validated form of microneedling, ideal for skin rejuvenation, acne scars, and fine lines.
• Dermal Roller Needling – A more traditional method, effective for stimulating collagen across larger areas.
• Exion RF Microneedling – Combines radiofrequency with needling to target deeper layers of the skin with less discomfort and downtime.

Your clinician will recommend the most suitable option based on your skin concerns, treatment goals, and recovery preferences.

Exion RF microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis. What sets Exion apart is its AI-guided delivery system, which continuously adjusts RF energy to target up to 8mm below the skin’s surface - without fully inserting the needle.

This advanced approach allows for deeper collagen stimulation, reduced skin laxity, improved skin texture, and a visibly rejuvenated appearance. Whether you're looking to treat fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, or uneven texture, Exion delivers predictable, high-impact results across both face and body.

• Boosts collagen and elastin production
• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
• Firms and tightens sagging skin
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Enhances radiance and glow
• Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive areas

Thanks to its smart energy delivery system, Exion typically requires fewer sessions than traditional RF treatments, saving you time while delivering superior outcomes.

Exion RF Needling is a versatile treatment for a wide range of face and body concerns.

• Face and cheeks
• Neck and jawline
• Décolletage
• Arms and upper arms
• Abdomen and flanks
• Thighs and knees
• Back and other areas with lax or uneven skin

Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin or injectables consultation depending on your primary concerns. Your clinician will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether Exion is the right treatment for you. If suitable, your first session will be booked at a later date to allow for preparation.

Your first Exion session includes a brief overview of the treatment and assessment to confirm you are suitable to proceed. Most clients can begin treatment immediately if approved.

We typically recommend a course of 4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the best results. For ongoing skin maintenance, a follow-up session every 6 months helps preserve your skin’s smoothness and firmness.

Exion RF needling is generally well tolerated. Most clients report a warm, prickly sensation during treatment. While a topical numbing cream is available for those who prefer it, many undergo the treatment with minimal discomfort.

Some clients notice a subtle glow and tightness in the skin immediately after treatment. However, the most significant improvements appear gradually over 9 to 12 months, as your skin produces new collagen and elastin.

Is There Any Downtime?

Post-treatment, the skin may appear red or flushed for up to 12 hours, and some may experience minor pinpoint bleeding at the treatment sites. This is temporary and part of the natural healing process.
There’s no extensive downtime, making this a perfect skin rejuvenation solution for busy individuals seeking non-surgical results.

Please note: Exion RF Needling is exclusively available at our Quay St Clinic

Healite II is a medical-grade LED light therapy system that uses targeted, UV-free wavelengths of light to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration and repair processes. With 1,800 LEDs and advanced Optical Lens Array Technology, Healite delivers deeper, more consistent light energy than traditional LED devices like Omnilux.

By delivering specific wavelengths of light (830nm, 633nm & 415nm), Healite II can help:

• Soothe inflammation and redness
• Accelerate skin healing and recovery after procedures
• Hydrate and plump the skin
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Clear acne-causing bacteria and support clearer skin
• Improve overall skin tone and radiance

Whether you’re looking to maintain skin health, recover from injectables or skin treatments, or simply unwind, Healite II LED therapy offers visible results with zero downtime.

Healite is a versatile treatment that can be added to:

• Injectables treatments (like Botox or dermal filler)
• Advanced skin treatments (such as microneedling, skin peels, or RF treatments)
• Or enjoyed as a stand-alone skin rejuvenation session

Gentle, pain-free, and completely safe, Healite is a must-have for anyone serious about improving their skin health from the inside out.

EmFace is the only hands-free facial rejuvenation treatment that combines Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to deliver powerful, dual-action results beneath the skin’s surface.

This revolutionary technology works in two ways:

• Smooths and firms skin by stimulating collagen and elastin through targeted RF heating
• Lifts and tones facial muscles by contracting key muscle groups, restoring natural structure and youthful definition

In clinical studies, patients who completed a full course of EmFace treatments achieved:

• 37% reduction in facial wrinkles
• 30% increase in muscle tone
• 23% overall lifting effect

EmFace targets the forehead, brows, cheeks, and jawline, helping to:

• Smooth forehead lines
• Lift sagging cheeks
• Define the jawline and lower face
• Improve facial symmetry and muscle tone

Your journey begins with a thorough skin and facial muscle assessment by one of our expert clinicians. This allows us to create a personalised EmFace treatment plan tailored to your unique facial structure and rejuvenation goals.
Most clients see optimal results after six sessions, spaced 5 to 10 days apart.

EmFace is suitable for both women and men looking for a natural, non-surgical facelift alternative. However, it is not recommended for individuals with:

• Metal implants in the face
• Active skin infections
• Certain neurological or muscular conditions

A full consultation is required to confirm your suitability and ensure the best possible results.

As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid levels decline, leading to dehydration, fine lines, volume loss, and loss of skin firmness. Exion HA is a revolutionary treatment that uses a patented blend of radiofrequency (RF) and targeted ultrasound to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Reactivate natural HA synthesis deep within the skin
• Hydrate, plump, and smooth the skin from within
• Improve skin tone, elasticity, and radiance

It’s the first device of its kind to target collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid simultaneously - safely and non-invasively.

This advanced technology is ideal for anyone experiencing early to moderate signs of skin ageing. Common concerns treated include:

• Dehydrated or dull skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Crepey skin texture
• Mild skin laxity
• Volume loss

• Deep skin hydration without injections
• Firmer, plumper skin with improved tone and texture
• Reduction in fine lines and crepiness
• No needles, no pain, no downtime
• Safe for face, neck, décolletage, hands, and crepey areas of the body
• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin

Your treatment begins with a personalised consultation at The Face Place, where we assess your skin health and hydration goals. Most clients benefit from 3–4 treatments, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s needs and treatment area.

Exion HA is ideal for clients seeking a natural alternative to injectable skin boosters and wanting real results without invasive procedures.

• Improved skin firmness and elasticity
• Reduction in crepey or lax skin
• Support in reducing stubborn, localised fat
• Enhanced body contour and definition
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Non-surgical with no downtime
• Comfortable and well tolerated

A course of 3 or 6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. The number of treatments required depends on the treatment area, degree of laxity, and the amount of localised fat present. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on individual goals.

Some clients notice early improvements in skin tightness within a few weeks. More visible contouring and firmness typically develop gradually over 8-12 weeks as collagen production increases and the body naturally processes treated fat cells. Results continue to improve for several months following completion of the treatment course.

Exion® Body Contouring is generally well tolerated. Mild redness, warmth, or temporary swelling may occur immediately after treatment and typically resolves within a few hours.

This treatment may not be suitable for clients who are pregnant, have implanted electronic devices (such as pacemakers), metal implants in the treatment area, or certain medical conditions. A comprehensive consultation is required to assess suitability and create an appropriate treatment plan.

Chemical peels are tailored to suit your skin’s unique concerns and condition. We offer a range of superficial to medium-depth peels, designed to:

Unlike traditional IPL, Elōs™ combines Intense Pulsed Light with radiofrequency (RF) for greater precision and enhanced outcomes - especially on lighter or more sensitive skin types.
