This advanced skin needling technique uses tiny vibrating needles which make micro channels in the skin. Dermapen™ can be used to tighten, lift and rejuvenate aging, sun damaged skin. It can also be used to remodel acne scars and treat stretch marks.
The Dermapen™ uses tiny needles to make channels in the skin which heal using non scarring collagen in a process similar to fractional laser treatments but without the side effects or downtime.
The Dermapen™ is relatively painless and treatments are performed after application of an anesthetic cream. The small size of the Dermapen™ allows treatment in hard to reach areas such as around the eyes, lips and nose. A general guide to the number of treatments required is:
Rejuvenation 4-6 treatments 4 weeks apart
Acne scarring 6 treatments 2 weeks apart
Stretch marks approx. 10 treatments 3 weeks apart
Treatments take 30 – 60 minutes. There may be some redness of the treated area for 12 – 48 hours after treatment and possibly light scabbing, but this can be covered using a camouflage make-up. Dermapen™ can be complemented with peels, dermal fillers and botulinum treatment.
