NEXT-GEN BIO-MICRONEEDLING SKIN TREATMENTS
now available at RDC Spa in Berwick, Melbourne

Bio Needling is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural regeneration processes — without the use of traditional needles or machines. Instead, it uses ultra-fine marine sponge spicules (natural micro-needles derived from freshwater or marine sponges) to gently exfoliate and activate the skin from within.

These microscopic spicules create up to 7 million micro-channels in the skin, boosting absorption of potent bioactive serums by up to 3000% and triggering 72 hours of cellular activation. This natural biostimulation process enhances collagen and elastin production, refines texture, and restores radiance — with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Bio Needling offers all the benefits of advanced skin rejuvenation while remaining 100% natural, safe, and effective for all skin types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly is bio-needling, and how does it differ from traditional microneedling?

A: Bio-needling uses natural marine sponge spicules (VitaSpicules) instead of metal needles. Unlike traditional microneedling, which creates micro-injuries that can cause bleeding and require anesthesia, bio-needling gently creates microchannels without breaking the skin barrier. The spicules remain active in your skin for 48-72 hours (vs. metal needles that withdraw immediately), allowing deeper absorption of active ingredients. One bio-needling session is equivalent to three traditional microneedling treatments, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Q: What skin concerns does bio-needling treat?

A: Bio-needling is highly effective for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
  • Uneven skin texture and roughness
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • General skin dullness and loss of radiance
  • Skin laxity (mild)

It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive treatment option.

Q: How does the 60-minute treatment break down? What happens during it?

A: Your 60-minute bio-needling session includes:

  1. Cleansing & Preparation (10 min): Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and lightly exfoliated to remove impurities and prepare the surface for optimal absorption.
  2. VitaSpicule Application (15-20 min): We massage a specialized serum containing marine sponge spicules into your skin. You’ll feel gentle tingling and warmth—similar to a light exfoliation—not pain.
  3. Soothing & Nourishment (10 min): A calming mask is applied to reduce any redness and hydrate your skin.
  4. Aftercare Guidance (5-10 min): We provide detailed instructions for post-treatment care and product recommendations to maximize your results.

Q: Is bio-needling painful? Do I need numbing cream?

A: No numbing is required. The treatment feels like a gentle exfoliation with mild tingling and warmth. You may experience a slight prickly sensation similar to light pins-and-needles, which is completely normal and indicates the treatment is working. This sensation typically subsides within 24-48 hours as your skin heals.

Q: What can I expect immediately after treatment?

A: Immediately post-treatment, your skin may be:

  • Pink or slightly red (like mild sunburn)
  • Feel warm or tingly
  • Experience mild swelling or tightness

These effects are normal and typically subside within 12-24 hours. You can return to your daily activities immediately—there’s no downtime.

Q: What's the aftercare routine? Are there any restrictions?

A: Days 1-3 Post-Treatment:

  • Cleanse gently with warm water only (no harsh cleansers)
  • Apply hydrating moisturizer every 4 hours by gently pressing (not rubbing)
  • Avoid makeup, active skincare products, and scrubs for 48-72 hours
  • Avoid touching or scratching the treated area
  • Sleep on your back if possible
  • Apply SPF 50 daily and avoid direct sun exposure

Days 4-7:

  • Resume gentle cleansing with mild cleanser
  • Introduce light hydrating serums and moisturisers
  • Continue SPF 50 protection
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating for the first 5 days

Important: The spicules remain active in your skin for 48-72 hours, so keep products minimal during this window to allow the treatment to work optimally.

Q: Will my skin peel after treatment?

A: Some mild flaking or peeling is normal and expected, usually starting around day 2-4. This indicates your skin is renewing itself. However, not all clients experience visible peeling—if you don’t, it simply means your skin is regenerating at a faster rate, and you’re still receiving all the treatment benefits. Any peeling is typically light and manageable with moisturizer.

Q: When will I see results?

A: Many clients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, including smoother texture and a more radiant complexion. However, optimal results appear with a course of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. This cumulative approach allows your skin to progressively improve texture, tone, pigmentation, and firmness.

Q: How long do results last?

A: Results typically last 4-6 weeks after your initial session. With a maintenance course (typically 1-2 treatments every 2-3 months), you can maintain your results long-term. Bio-needling works best as part of a consistent skincare routine combined with professional treatments.

Q: Can I use bio-needling on sensitive or reactive skin?

A: Bio-needling is generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it’s not recommended if you have:

  • Active eczema, psoriasis, or severe rosacea
  • Open wounds or active infections
  • Severe cystic acne (though mild acne responds well)
  • Recent chemical peels or laser treatments
  • History of keloid scarring or excessive bleeding

If you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions, we recommend a patch test or consultation before treatment. Always disclose if you have:

  • A shellfish allergy (some spicule sources may cross-react)
  • Are taking blood-thinning medication
  • Are on Accutane (wait 12 months post-treatment)
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Use immunosuppressant medications

We’re here to determine if bio-needling is right for you.

Q: What products do you use during the VitaSpicules treatment?

A: We use premium bioactive serums paired with VitaSpicules (marine-derived spicules) selected specifically for your skin type and treatment goals:

  • Anti-aging protocol: Peptide and collagen-boosting serums
  • Acne protocol: Clarifying and sebum-regulating serums
  • Pigmentation protocol: Brightening and melanin-reducing serums
  • Specialised eye treatment: PDRN (Salmon DNA) for the delicate eye area

All products are carefully chosen to maximize the 3000% increase in absorption that bio-needling provides.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

A: Initial Course: Most clients see optimal results with 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. This allows cumulative collagen stimulation and progressive skin improvement.

Maintenance: After your initial course, 1-2 maintenance treatments every 2-3 months helps sustain your results.

Your aesthetician will assess your skin during your first appointment and recommend a personalised treatment plan.

Q: Can I combine bio-needling with other treatments?

A: Yes! Bio-needling pairs beautifully with:

  • Low Level Laser Therapy
  • Hydrating facials (schedule 2-3 weeks apart)
  • Chemical peels (schedule 4+ weeks apart)
  • Other skincare treatments (discuss timing with us)

We do not recommend combining bio-needling with other invasive treatments (laser, radiofrequency) in the same session. We’ll advise on optimal spacing for multiple treatments.

Q: Is bio-needling suitable for male clients?

A: Absolutely! Bio-needling addresses skin concerns relevant to all genders—acne, scarring, aging, and texture. Many male clients appreciate the needle-free, minimal-downtime approach.

Q: How much does bio-needling cost, and what's included?

A: Treatment Cost: from $180-$299 for a 60-minute session

Included in Your Treatment:

  • Professional assessment and skincare consultation
  • Full bio-needling treatment with premium VitaSpicules and serums
  • Customised aftercare instructions provided in person
