Microneedling
Microneedling encourages the skin's own natural healing, gently creating micro-channels that stimulate collagen and elastin over time. At Iris Clinic, we use the SkinPen Precision device, paired with NCTF, polynucleotides (PDRN) and exosome serum for deeper, longer-lasting benefit. A topical numbing cream is applied before every session. Our microneedling ladder starts gentle and scales up. We recommend the right level for your skin at consultation.
Medical-grade microneedling with advanced topical adjuncts, for skin and scalp renewal, regeneration and repair.

Microneedling
General Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the skin's natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. At Iris Clinic we use the SkinPen Precision device.
Will numbing cream be used?
Yes, a topical numbing cream is applied before every microneedling session to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
What is the 'microneedling ladder'?
Our treatments range from a straightforward skin renewal session (Iris Refresh Needling) up to comprehensive regenerative protocols combining PDRN and exosome serums. Dr Intan recommends the right level for your skin at consultation.
Is there downtime?
Expect redness and mild sensitivity for 24-48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. More advanced treatments may involve slightly longer recovery.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, medical-grade microneedling does not carry the same pigmentation risk as laser treatments. Several of our protocols use serums that are particularly well-suited to Fitzpatrick III-VI skin.
How many sessions do I need?
A course of 5 sessions is recommended for most patients for lasting results. Individual sessions are available to start, and Dr Intan will advise based on your specific concerns.
Have a concern that isn't listed?
Book a consultation. Many additional treatments are available and can only be properly recommended once we've assessed you in person.
common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know what treatment I want before booking?
Not at all. Your consultation is the starting point, not a prerequisite knowledge test. Come in, talk through your skin and your goals with Dr Intan, and leave with a personalised plan. There is no obligation to proceed on the day.
Is my consultation complimentary?
Consultations for treatments involving procedures are complimentary. A $200 consultation fee applies for skincare concerns or issues requiring a prescription. Dr Intan will let you know which applies when you get in touch.
Who performs my treatment?
Every treatment at Iris Clinic is performed personally by Dr Intan. There is no handoff between who consults you and who treats you. This is what we mean by doctor-delivered.
What are Dr Intan’s qualifications?
Dr Intan holds an MB ChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from the University of Otago, a Diploma in Dermatology, and is a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (FRNZCGP). She is registered with the New Zealand Medical Council (NZMC). She also works as a GP Partner at Burwood Health.
What is the minimum charge per visit?
The minimum charge is $200 per visit. Your actual cost will depend on the areas treated, the products used, and the plan we build together at consultation. All prices are confirmed before any treatment begins.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Afterpay, eftpos, bank transfer and cash.
Is Iris Clinic suitable for my skin tone?
Absolutely. Iris Clinic was built with every skin tone in mind, Fitzpatrick III-VI included from the start, not adapted as an afterthought. Dr Intan has a special interest in treating diverse skin tones safely and effectively.
How do I secure my treatment appointment?
Once you and Dr Intan have talked through your treatment plan and you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll ask for prepayment to confirm your booking. This means your appointment time is set aside just for you — and for treatments using an injectable ordered especially for your visit, it also means we can have everything ready and waiting when you arrive. As soon as payment goes through, you’re officially booked in.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand plans change, please let us know as early as you can. A missed appointment or late cancellation (less than 24 hours’ notice) may incur a fee.
