Microneedling

What is Dermpen Microneedling?

Dermapen is an advanced microneedling treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and boost collagen and elastin production. Using a precision-controlled device, tiny micro-channels are created in the skin to trigger regeneration, improve texture, and enhance overall skin quality. This controlled process helps reduce the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven tone while promoting smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Suitable for most skin types, Dermapen is a versatile treatment that supports long-term skin strengthening and rejuvenation.

How does it work?

Dermapen works by creating thousands of precise, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. These tiny channels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin, the essential building blocks of firm, youthful skin. As the skin repairs itself, texture becomes smoother, scars appear softened, pores look refined, and overall tone improves. The micro-channels also enhance the absorption of targeted serums applied during treatment, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for improved results.

What To Expect During Treatment

Your Dermapen treatment begins with a thorough cleanse followed by the application of a topical numbing cream (if needed) to ensure comfort. Once the skin is prepared, the device is gently passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-channels. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated. You may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight sensitivity immediately after, similar to a light sunburn, which usually settles within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the following day with minimal downtime.

How Many Sessions Are Needed

For optimal results, a course of 3–6 treatments is generally recommended, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Deeper scarring or more advanced concerns may require additional sessions. Maintenance treatments every few months can help preserve and enhance long-term results. 

What It Treats

Dermapen is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including:
• Acne scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Stretch marks
• Dull or ageing skin

By stimulating natural collagen renewal, Dermapen supports smoother, firmer, and more refined skin over time.

What Treatments Can It Be Combined With?

Dermapen can be combined with complementary treatments to enhance overall results and target multiple skin concerns more effectively. When strategically layered, combination treatments can stimulate deeper collagen production, improve texture, refine tone, and support long-term skin strengthening.

It pairs particularly well with:
LED light therapy – to calm inflammation and accelerate healing
Chemical peels (performed at appropriate intervals) – to address pigmentation and surface texture
Laser treatments such as Genesis – to further boost collagen and reduce redness
Ultraformer (HIFU) – to tighten and lift deeper structural layers of the skin, complementing Dermapen’s surface-level collagen stimulation

By combining Dermapen with treatments like Ultraformer, both the superficial skin layers and deeper support structures can be addressed, creating a more comprehensive rejuvenation result. Your treatment plan will always be tailored to your skin goals, with appropriate spacing between procedures to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

FAQ

Is Dermapen painful?

A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light vibration rather than pain. Intensity can be adjusted depending on the treatment area and concern.

When will I see results?

Some clients notice improved glow and skin smoothness within a week. However, collagen production takes time, so more significant improvements in texture, scarring, and fine lines develop gradually over 4–6 weeks and continue to improve with each session.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

It is recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal properly. After this period, mineral or gentle makeup can usually be applied if the skin feels comfortable.
