What is dermapen? And how does microneedling work?

Dermapen is the industry-leading micro needling device, which works as a skin repair treatment to significantly improve the appearance of large pores, fine lines and is an effective acne scar treatment. It can also be an excellent tool to tighten loose skin after weight loss.

It uses tiny needles attached to a pen device to gently puncture the skin, causing a series of traumatic punctures. The skin responds to this by naturally producing collagen and elastin to repair itself.

The collagen and elastin created by micro-needling work to smooth and firm the skin, plumping out deep lines and improving the indented or red appearance of stretch marks or scars making it a popular acne scar treatment.

The treatment can be enhanced by applying a Medik8 chemical peel to your skin immediately after your micro needling facial, which allows the chemical peel to work deep into the skin as the channels are open after being punctured by the Dermapen. We also offer topical mesotherapy to target specific skin concerns such as the use of hyaluronic acid on dull and dehydrated skin.

Dermapen is suitable for use on the face and body, for both male and female clients. It is less invasive than many alternative solutions, and you can normally return to your daily activities straight away (although you may notice some redness/swelling).

A microneedling facial is an effective treatment for the following concerns on the face:

• Microneedling for acne scars
• Facial scarring
• Large pore treatment
• Milia treatment
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull, sallow skin
• Can be used to treat delicate skin under the eye
• Can be used to treat lines on lip-line

As well as the face, Dermapen treatment is also suitable for the following concerns on the body:

• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars
• Loose skin – Dermapen can be used as a tool to tighten loose skin after weight loss. For example, it is an excellent device for helping to tighten mild cases of loose stomach skin
