Why Patients Love Dermapen Microneedling
Dermapen microneedling is a non-surgical, clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that helps correct multiple concerns at once. By stimulating collagen and elastin, it smooths fine lines, softens scars, and refines texture for healthier-looking skin.
It can improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and superficial scarring
- Stretch marks
- Uneven skin tone and sun damage
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Mild skin laxity or loss of firmness
Because it’s heat-free and chemical-free, microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker complexions. For even stronger results, many patients pair it with PRP or PRF to speed healing and enhance collagen production.
How Dermapen Microneedling Works
The Dermapen device gently glides across the skin, creating thousands of precise micro-channels. These tiny punctures stimulate a healing response that encourages new collagen and elastin fibers to form, rebuilding skin from within.
During the procedure, a topical serum—such as hyaluronic acid, PRP, or PRF—may be applied to help nutrients absorb more deeply and support faster recovery.
The Dermapen features:
- Adjustable needle depth for customized treatment
- Smooth, controlled motion for minimal discomfort
- Compatibility with rejuvenating serums for enhanced results
Most people describe the sensation as light pressure or vibration, and treatments typically take 30–45 minutes.
What to Expect Before, During, and After
From pre-visit care to post-treatment recovery, each step is designed to maximize your comfort and enhance your results.
- Before treatment: Arrive with clean skin and avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and strong acids for several days. Skip tanning or sun exposure to reduce sensitivity.
- During treatment: A topical numbing cream keeps you comfortable. The Dermapen is then passed evenly across the skin, targeting areas like the cheeks, forehead, and neck. A single microneedling session can take around 30 min.
- After treatment: Expect mild redness or tightness for a day or two, followed by light flaking as your skin renews itself. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, avoid heavy makeup or workouts for 24 hours, and always apply broad-spectrum SPF.
Most patients resume normal activities within a day, and collagen production continues for several weeks after each session.
When Will You See Results?
Some patients notice a brighter complexion within 7-10 days, while deeper results—like smoother texture and firmer skin—develop gradually over 4–6 weeks.
For best results, we typically recommend a series of three sessions spaced about one month apart. Maintenance treatments every few months help preserve long-term improvements.
