What is dermapen microneedling?

This innovative treatment uses a handheld device to create microchannels in the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and appearance. Suitable for various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body, Dermapen microneedling stimulates the skin's natural healing response.

This process enhances the absorption of topical serums and skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness. The result is revitalized, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, making it an excellent option for those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of Dermapen microneedling

Improves Skin Texture and Tone

Dermapen microneedling promotes collagen production, which helps smooth out uneven skin texture and tone. This results in a more radiant and youthful appearance, reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Reduces Acne Scars

The microchannels created by the Dermapen stimulate the skin's natural healing process, effectively reducing the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. This leads to a clearer, more even complexion.

Enhances Product Absorption

Microneedling enhances the absorption of topical serums and skincare products by creating microchannels in the skin. This allows for deeper penetration and maximizes the effectiveness of the skincare products.

What Happens During Your Treatment?

Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. This ensures that the procedure is as painless as possible. The actual treatment lasts around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific concerns of the client.

During the session, a handheld Dermapen device is used to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin's natural healing process, promoting collagen production and enhancing the absorption of topical serums. You might feel a slight tingling or prickling sensation, but the numbing cream significantly reduces any discomfort.

After the treatment, there is usually minimal downtime. Some redness and mild swelling may occur, which typically subsides within a day or two. The skin might also feel slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn.

Regular Microneedling vs dermapen

Regular microneedling typically involves the use of a derma roller, a handheld device with a cylindrical drum covered in tiny needles. As the roller is moved across the skin, it creates micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin texture. However, derma rollers can be less precise, as the needles penetrate the skin at an angle, potentially causing more discomfort and uneven results.

Dermapen microneedling, on the other hand, uses a pen-like device with multiple tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The Dermapen's vertical delivery system ensures more precise and consistent needle penetration, reducing the risk of skin damage and making the procedure more comfortable. Additionally, the depth of needle penetration can be adjusted, allowing for a more customized treatment tailored to individual skin concerns.

Overall, Dermapen microneedling offers superior precision, customization, and comfort compared to regular microneedling, making it the better option for effective skin rejuvenation.
