Q: How Does Microneedling With Dermapen Work?

The Dermapen is an electric hand piece with multiple tiny needles. It stimulates collagen in 2 ways. When placed on the skin it creates tiny perforations in the skin’s surface and triggers a healing response which produces collagen – a key ingredient in keeping the skin looking young and healthy. As the Dermapen glides over the skin, nutrients and active ingredients are applied. These tiny perforations allow for better delivery of topical nutrients deep into the skin and underlying cells. This increased absorption of active ingredients into the skin stimulates more collagen and improves skin repair with improved resurfacing results.

The Dermapen can work at various depths in order to correct different skin conditions. We customise treatment to suit your skin concerns. The advanced technology of the Dermapen delivers controlled and uniform microneedling results. It is an effective way to help rejuvenate the skin on your face, hands, neck, or chest, soften Acne Scars and may even help stretch marks.

How many treatments are needed?

DERMAPEN usually requires 4-6 treatments, approximately 2-6 weeks apart depending on your skin concerns. To optimize Dermapen results, we recommend using skincare with clinically proven active ingredients. Our skin consultant will guide you with customised skincare advice.

When will you see results?

Typically results can be seen after the first 1-2 treatments with the skin appearing smoother and softer. Lasting and more significant results occur after 4-6 treatments. Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months following a recommended course of treatments combined with the recommended post treatment care.

The DERMAPEN is unique in that different needle depths are possible which enable the practitioner to vary the treatment according to the skin’s needs.

What is the recovery from treatment?

Generally, patients experience mild redness or bruising to the skin for 12 hours and up to 2 days post treatment. Most people are able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Heavier or deeper treatments may result in an extra day of redness. Customised makeup acting as a breathable camouflage can be applied to hasten healing and cover any redness.

Antiwrinkle Injections can be carried out 1 day prior and 2 days post treatment.
