MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
Give your skin a healthy glow
MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
Microneedling treatment is fast, effective and has proven results. The procedure promotes naturally refreshed and repaired skin by penetrating the skin with multiple tiny needles at a safe depth.
Dermapen device that we use is particularly effective for treating pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks. This is a minimally invasive treatment, safe on all skin types, leaving skin rejuvenated and smoother. Microneedling creates micro-injuries to the skin, encouraging natural collagen production. Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, the mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin at a 90-degree angle and create controlled injury at a specific depth. In response, a natural healing process begins by producing collagen and elastin essential for skin rejuvenation. Additionally, Microneedling works over time to boost skin tone, clarity, firmness, and elasticity.
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).

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that offers a solution for a variety of skin conditions and concerns. We have created the most comprehensive and advanced micro-needling treatment available by adding pharmaceutical-grade cocktail of serums for each different skin condition.
We will talk through your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications and micro-needling is the best treatment option for you, discuss what you want to achieve from the treatment. We will create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals. Our hand-held device works quickly to create tiny punctures to the epidermis. This induces the production of collagen and elastin, which will effectively heal, repair, plump and firm the skin.​
After your treatment, it is essential that you allow your skin time to heal. Avoid applying make-up to the treated area for at least 24 hours following the procedure. Try to stay out of direct sunlight for 72 hours to avid any pigmentation.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IN-CLINIC MICRONEEDLING & AT HOME DERMAROLLING KITS?
At-home dermarolling kits, which only use needles <0.5mm, can be useful for helping topical products and serums to penetrate the skin more deeply, however they do not produce the collagen boosting effects of in-clinic treatments. Medical grade needles of >0.5mm are required for the full benefits of Microneedling. Microneedling with needles longer than 0.5mm should only ever be carried out by a trained medical professional.

FAQs
How does Dermapen work? Dermapen is a pen-like device with multiple tiny needles at the tip is glided over the skin creating small, gentle punctures on the skin. This stimulates a wound healing response with intense renewal, repair, and rejuvenation.
How many Dermapen treatments will I need? Results usually start to become visible within 6 weeks of your initial appointment, full results are 6 weeks after your final treatment session. For optimum results, a course of 3 – 6 treatments are recommended depending on your skin concerns: • General skin rejuvenation / large pore treatment – 3 treatments recommended • Remove fine lines and wrinkles – 6 treatments recommended • Acne scar treatment or surgical scars – 6 treatments recommended • Loose skin – 6 to 9 treatments recommended
Is Dermapen safe for everyone? This microneedling treatment is not suitable for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have keloid scarring or are immunocompromised with delayed wound healing.
How long do the results last? Rejuvenating results last for approximately 12 months. If Dermapen is used to treat scars or stretch marks, the improvements are permanent.
Are there any side effects? Side effects are rare, and when they do occur, they seldom last for more than 48 hours. Patients commonly notice some redness post-procedure (similar to sunburn), but this should subside in a short time. Dermapen may trigger herpes simplex in clients who suffer from cold sores; other adverse effects can include scarring and infection.
What precautions should I take after my Dermapen treatment? Use the aftercare products as recommended by your Dr Avoid extreme temperatures (hot water, saunas, etc.) for 48 hours.

You should be able to resume your daily routine almost immediately or within a few hours- although it depends on what depth of Dermapen treatment you have. You may notice some redness or mild swelling, but this should subside within the first 24 hours.
