Microneedling with Dermapen 4 uses medical-grade microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. While this may sound intimidating, the purpose of these micro-injuries is to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and encourage the production of collagen and elastin. This process supports skin renewal by helping to replace older, damaged tissue with newly formed collagen, which may improve the appearance of concerns such as acne scarring, wrinkles, and pigmentation.

A traditional dermal roller works by rolling needles across the skin to create micro-injuries. The rolling motion causes the needles to enter and exit the skin at an angle, which may increase discomfort and the likelihood of side effects, potentially resulting in longer downtime for some individuals.

The Dermapen 4 uses a motorised system to move the microneedles vertically and precisely, which may help reduce pain and discomfort during treatment and support a shorter recovery time.

Unlike traditional rollers, the Dermapen allows adjustment of needle depth and speed to customise the treatment according to individual skin concerns. This medical-grade device can target varying skin depths in a clinical setting and may be suitable for addressing issues such as sun damage, wrinkles, and scars.

All treatments carry risk, our cosmetic practitioner will assess you to see suitability. To reduce any risks as much as possible, we perform the procedure carefully and gently. We are experienced in these procedures, and this further reduce the risks.

Microneedling treatment with the Dermapen4 does not involve injections and therefore allergic reactions and side effects are unlikely to occur. It is safe to use for all skin types and colours. However, the Dermapen skin needling treatment is not suitable for people who use certain acne medication or for women who are pregnant.

The Dermapen can be used for skin needling treatment on any part of the body and can even treat the delicate areas such as the neck, around the mouth, nose and eye bags.

The Dermapen renews the skin and so address many facial skin-related complaints, including but not limited to:

• Scars from blemishes
• Post-surgical scars
• Sun damage
• Skin pigmentation concerns
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Large pores
• Uneven skin tone

In addition to facial concerns, the Dermapen is used to treat stretch marks and scars on the thighs and the abdominal area.

A full-face Dermapen treatment usually takes about 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

The procedure starts with cleansing and numbing the skin, followed by applying a disinfectant and hyaluronic acid serum. The microneedling device then creates controlled micro-injuries at adjustable depths to suit your skin type and concerns. Some mild discomfort or minimal bleeding may occur.

After treatment, a cooling peptide gel mask with vitamin C serum is applied to soothe the skin.

Active ingredient ampoules, such as Vitamin C or Hydrating serums, can be added during treatment to support skin renewal. Your practitioner will recommend the best option for you.
