Dermapen
Dermapen
Dermapen or microneedling is a minimally invasive technique that creates thousands of epidermal microcanals that allow substances to pass through the horny layer of the skin, while simultaneously producing dermoepidermal biostimulation, incrementing the activity of the active substances.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, the process stimulates fibroblasts and the production of collagen and elastin. It activates the skin repair mechanisms improving skin firmness.
This process reduces expression lines and pore sizes. It can also reduce the appearance of hypertrophic scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation.
The procedure is relatively painless. There is a short period of downtime after your treatment including moderate erythema (pink or sunburn looking skin) immediately afterwards, this is completely normal. The redness will take 24 - 48 hours to completely go away. Make up can be applied 24 hours after treatment.
A course of 3 dermapen sessions is usually recommended to achieve optimum results, however improvement is usually noticed after just one treatment.
