Dermapen is a micro-needling, collagen induction skin treatment, used to treat a variety of skin conditions like acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks. The treatment uses electronically-powered needles to puncture tiny holes into your skin, which stimulates collagen production to enhance the texture and firmness of your skin.
The Dermapen is an automated microneedling device equipped with a disposable tip cartridge. It employs 11 micro-needles to rapidly and vertically puncture the skin’s surface. This vertical stamping action of the Dermapen generates micro-injuries in the skin, thereby triggering the initiation of new collagen production. These micro-injuries serve as a catalyst, harnessing the body’s inherent capacity to naturally regenerate and heal the skin through its regular physiological mechanisms.
The Dermapen is a versatile tool suitable for addressing a range of skin concerns, including but not limited to wrinkles, fine lines, acne, cellulite, scarring, pigmentation issues, stretch marks, and more. Additionally, it can play a role in the tattoo removal process.

Upon completing your microneedling session, it’s common for your skin to appear flushed or even bright red. Within 48 hours, most of this initial redness will typically subside. However, peeling, flaking, and potential breakouts may persist for a bit longer. It’s worth noting that not everyone will experience these effects, but additional microneedling side effects can include the development of pimples, acne, or dry skin.
While the visible healing process primarily occurs within the first few days following microneedling, the regeneration and improvement of your skin continue beneath the skin’s surface for up to two months. Diligent skin care can help minimize side effects and enhance the overall outcome.

The advantages of using the Dermapen become evident after a single treatment. For optimal outcomes, it is advisable to undergo 3-5 sessions, scheduled with intervals of 4-6 weeks between each session. In certain instances, a more intensive approach may be necessary, necessitating a higher number of treatments.
Waiting for at least 24 hours after your session is crucial before applying makeup to your face. The precise duration for your skin to fully recover and become makeup-ready can vary from person to person. However, as a general guideline, it’s recommended to wait a minimum of 24 to 72 hours before returning to your regular makeup routine.
Engaging in exercise immediately after your microneedling session can result in increased blood flow to the treated areas, intensifying skin sensitivity, discomfort, and swelling. To ensure a smoother recovery process, it’s advisable for patients to wait for a period ranging from 48 to 72 hours after treatment before resuming their exercise routine.
