Microneedling in Hobart
Microneedling isn’t just about collagen; it’s about enhancing skin quality, refining texture, and promoting long-term dermal health. At Bloom Aesthetic Clinic in Hobart, microneedling treatments are clinically delivered to address concerns like uneven texture, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Every session is performed by registered nurse Sarah Munnings using precision-based, medical-grade techniques.
Refined tone. Smooth texture. Strengthened skin.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical skin treatment that utilises fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the dermis. This triggers natural collagen production and accelerates cell turnover. At Bloom Hobart, treatments are customised to your skin condition and may include add-on infusions, such as NCTF for hydration or Klardie D/R for concerns related to redness or pigmentation.
Improved Texture
Microneedling visibly refines uneven skin texture by encouraging dermal renewal. Pore size, post-acne marks and surface roughness are gradually smoothed over a series of treatments.
Firmer Skin
By stimulating collagen and elastin, microneedling helps to reinforce the skin’s structure. This is particularly effective for areas showing early signs of laxity or sun-related thinning, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Brighter Tone
Optional infusions of NCTF or Klardie serums during treatment can address dullness, pigmentation or redness. These additions help achieve a more even skin tone without added downtime or irritation.
The Treatment Process
Every microneedling treatment at Bloom Hobart begins with a personalised consultation with registered cosmetic nurse Sarah . Your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals are thoroughly reviewed. Sarah will assess your skin condition, including texture, pigmentation, and sensitivity, to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your skin type.
This session also covers preparation, expected outcomes, and whether additional options, such as NCTF or Klardie serums, may be suitable. Treatment will only proceed once you have a clear understanding of the procedure, recovery, and any limitations.
After microneedling, most clients experience mild redness and a sensation similar to sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Skin may feel tight, dry, or mildly flaky for several days. Swelling is minimal but possible, especially with deeper treatments.
Improvements in texture and tone often become visible within 7 to 14 days, with continued results over the following weeks as collagen production increases. A course of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for best outcomes.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. Using a precision microneedling device, Sarah creates controlled micro-channels at a customised depth based on your treatment goals and skin condition. This process stimulates collagen production and increases absorption of active serums.
Add-on infusions may be used during the treatment:
- NCTF: A blend of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and revitalise dull or ageing skin.
- Klardie D or R: Targeted options for redness-prone (D) or pigmented (R) skin to support even tone and reduced inflammation.
Treatment typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, including preparation.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support skin recovery. These may include:
- Avoiding makeup, active skincare, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours
- Applying a barrier cream or gentle hydrating serum as advised
- Sleeping on clean linens and avoiding excessive heat or sweating
- Using SPF consistently once redness subsides
Redness usually resolves within two days. Any flaking or dryness typically settles by day five. Sarah will advise when to resume active ingredients or schedule your next session.
Microneedling is generally well tolerated when performed by a trained clinician. Common side effects include:

Dryness or flaking
Mild sensitivity
Temporary tightness
Less common risks include:
Pinpoint bruising
Breakouts or pore congestion
Prolonged redness in sensitive skin
Rare but possible risks include:

Aggravation of underlying skin conditions
All clients are screened for contraindications such as active acne, rosacea flare, or recent sunburn. Your Hobart cosmetic nurse uses sterile technique, clinically approved protocols, and conservative settings to reduce risk and ensure safe outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients benefit from a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and whether you’re addressing surface texture, pigmentation, or deeper collagen loss. At Bloom in Hobart, cosmetic nurse Sarah will recommend a plan based on clinical assessment and how your skin responds over time.
Downtime is typically minimal. Redness, warmth and light swelling are common for the first 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. You may also experience light flaking or dryness as the skin renews. Most clients return to regular activities the next day; however, it’s best to avoid makeup, exercise, and heat exposure for 24 hours to reduce irritation and support healing.
Discomfort is minimal. A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment, making the procedure tolerable for most clients. The sensation is often described as a mild prickling or vibration. At Bloom Hobart, additional time is allowed for numbing if you have sensitive skin or are new to microneedling.
NCTF is a highly concentrated skin booster containing over 50 active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and amino acids. It supports hydration, promotes a radiant glow, and enhances overall skin vitality.
Klardie D targets redness and vascular reactivity, while Klardie R addresses pigmentation and uneven tone. Both are antioxidant-rich. At Bloom Hobart, these serums can be infused during microneedling to enhance results based on your specific concerns.
Avoid using active skincare products (such as retinol, AHAs, and BHAs) and harsh exfoliation for 3 to 5 days prior. Stay hydrated and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. If you’re prone to cold sores, inform the clinic beforehand, as antiviral medication may be recommended. Sunburned or recently tanned skin should not be treated with this product.

At Bloom in Hobart, treatment plans are customised to ensure therapies work together safely and effectively. Sarah will guide the timing, order and spacing of any combination therapies.
Microneedling stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, resulting in lasting structural improvements. However, the skin continues to age, and results naturally soften over time. A series of treatments followed by maintenance every 4 to 6 months is usually recommended for continued improvement and longevity.
