Micro Needling Dermapen 4

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest game-changing skin needling treatment device to The Lime Tree Clinic, the Dermapen 4th Generation, which is a revolutionising micro-needling device that tightens, lifts and rejuvenates skin with minimal downtime. Micro needling skin treatment with Dermapen 4 boosts collagen production and elastin in the deep dermal layer to restore healthy youthful skin. The result is tighter, firmer, and smoother skin.

Vampire Facial PRP Treatment

Vampire Facial, also known as microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), is a cosmetic procedure that involves drawing blood from your arm, separating the platelets and applying them back onto your face. It is an effective and natural, non-surgical way to improve a variety of skin and aging concerns, including crow’s feet, lines and wrinkles, forehead lines, loose skin, large pores, acne and acne scars, sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and general skin vitality through the stimulation of your skin’s own regenerating and healing abilities.

This procedure has many benefits and is rapidly gaining in popularity, if you would like to get more information about the treatment, contact us today and book your complimentary consultation with one of our experienced skin therapists at The Lime Tree Clinic in West Perth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skin needling with Dermapen 4 works by utilising medical-grade micro needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. This may sound daunting for some, but in fact, the purpose of creating micro-injuries is to jumpstart the natural healing response and to trick the skin to produce collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin will repair itself by destroying the old, damaged tissues that cause acne scarring, wrinkles and pigmentation, whilst replacing it with freshly produced collagen.

A traditional dermal roller works by the action of rolling the needles across your skin to cause micro-traumas. The rolling action causes the needles to enter and leave the skin at a slanted angle, creating lateral epidermal tear that leads to more side effects and pain, and often results in a longer downtime.

The Dermapen 4, has an in-built motorised system to vibrate and oscillate the micro-needles in a vertical and precise manner. This reduces the level of pain and discomfort, making it a safer and more effective treatment with minimal downtime.

Unlike the traditional dermal roller, which can only reach a single depth, the Dermapen allows adjustment of penetration depth and speed to customise the treatment to suit your skin concerns. Our medical grade device gives the option to treat deeper skin levels in a clean medical environment to give the best possible result to heavily sun damaged skin, thicker wrinkles and deep scars.

Skin needling treatment with the Dermapen 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.

Our qualified cosmetic practitioner will review your medical history and discuss any benefits and any possible risks with you before your micro needling treatment is administered.

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:

  • Acne scars
  • Surgical scars (caesarean, tummy tuck and other post-surgical scars)
  • Sun damage
  • Skin pigmentation issues
  • 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.

Dermapen full face skin needling treatment takes about 60 minutes. Time will vary depending on the size of the area and the number of areas being treated.

First, your face will be thoroughly cleansed followed by the application of a numbing cream to the treatment area to minimise any discomfort. After this, we apply a disinfection solution as well as a uniquely formulated hyaluronic acid skin serum to prepare the area for treatment.

The treatment itself involves the micro needling device being glided over the skin in multiple directions, with the sterile needle tips vertically penetrating the skin at various selected depths to suit your skin type and the skin concern being addressed. There is no discomfort and many people find the procedure relaxing. There will be localised bleeding at the treatment site, however, this is usually minimal and normal. Upon completion of the medical skin needling, we apply a specially formulated premium cooling peptide gel mask with vitamin C serum to stimulate the skin, while also cooling and soothing the treated skin.

Dermapen micro skin needling treatments can be complemented with the application of active ingredient ampoules (such as Vitamin C, Piruvex, Whitening, Hydrating and Protein Peptides ampoules) which, with the Dermapen treatment, will penetrate the deeper layers of the skin for additional benefits. Your treating practitioner at The Lime Tree Clinic can recommend the most suitable ampoule for your skin.

Immediately after the skin needling treatment, you are able to return to normal daily activities, but avoid immediate exercise, sun exposure and alcohol consumption. You will experience gentle redness and warmth on the skin which can last 1 to 2 days. You should keep your face free of make-up that day. The redness can be minimised with a concealer the following day.

It is important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by The Lime Tree Clinic staff to ensure the best results.

Vampire Facial has the added benefit of PRP infused with the standard microneedling treatment. Adding PRP to your microneedling treatment, you may reap the benefits of tighter, smoother skin even faster than with microneedling alone. Since your skin is full of tiny puncture wounds immediately following a treatment, it is the optimal time to apply PRP to your skin’s surface.

The platelet-rich plasma easily absorbs into the deeper layers of tissue, giving collagen production a boost. If you are bothered by the signs of aging or simply just want to maintain your youthful skin appearance but you have been reluctant to try cosmetic injections or laser therapies, consider the many benefits and ease of Vampire Facial treatment.
