MICRONEEDLING WITH DERMAPEN

Principle of Operation:
The Dermapen device creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin using fine, sterile needles. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This regenerative process enhances skin texture, tone, and firmness without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Microneedling is a non-invasive, natural method of rejuvenating the skin from within, suitable for various body areas including the face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, and thighs.
The treatment helps to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and sagging skin. It can also improve skin elasticity and promote a more even skin tone.
Why combine Dermapen with other therapies?
For enhanced results, Dermapen treatment can be combined with radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or mesotherapy serums that penetrate deeply through the micro-channels. These combinations accelerate skin regeneration, hydration, and tightening for visibly smoother, younger-looking skin.
What to Expect from the Treatment:
The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well tolerated.
Redness and mild swelling may occur post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, and typically subside within 1–3 days.
Visible results may be seen after the first session, but a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal long-term improvement.
