Microneedling with the DermaPen is an excellent way to enhance skin appearance. This treatment targets imperfections and boosts skin texture and tone. It minimises pores, removes superficial wrinkles, and significantly reduces stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.

The Microneedling DermaPen works by puncturing the skin with spring-loaded micro-needles. The fine micro-needles can move up and down as they puncture tiny holes in the skin. This causes collagen and elastin production to be stimulated. The small punctures allow the absorption of nutrients into the skin’s deeper layers. It must be stressed that during this treatment no damage occurs to the dermal layers and the process is completed fairly quickly.

Sometimes Dermapen can be combined with skin chemical peels for an intense treatment.

Inform Your Practitioner

Let us know if you are taking any medications that can cause you to bleed easily. If you need to stop any regular medication for a few days before your appointment, consult your doctor first. This will help you make safe changes without risking your health.

Preparing for Your Microneedling DermaPen Appointment

Before your Microneedling DermaPen appointment, follow these important guidelines:

Avoid Certain Products

• Retin-A products: Do not use for 24 hours before your treatment.

• Auto-immune therapies: Avoid these products for 24 hours as well.

• Sun exposure: Stay out of the sun, as DermaPen Treatment cannot be given to sunburned skin.

Additional Preparation Tips

Here are a few more pointers to help you prepare for your DermaPen Treatment:

• On the day of your appointment, arrive with a clean face and no makeup.

• If you have decided to have Botox injections, ensure you wait 2 weeks before planning your DermaPen Treatment.

• Consult your practitioner if a breakout occurs before your appointment.

• It’s important to wait 6 months after using oral isotretinoin before booking a new appointment.

Microneedling with DermaPen Treatment is great for tackling common skin issues. This simple, effective procedure is minimally invasive and rejuvenates the treated area. It significantly improves the skin’s appearance, texture, and tone. After treatment, the skin looks revitalised and returns to its former glory. Microneedling boosts collagen production, which helps reduce scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also addresses alopecia, dry and saggy skin, stretch marks, and skin hyperpigmentation.

As well as all the benefits outlined above, DermaPen Treatment offers the following benefits:

The side effects of this treatment are minimal. You might notice some initial redness or bruising, but these effects are short-lived. This procedure is completely safe and 100% effective in restoring the skin. DermaPen Treatment boosts the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, which is vital for rejuvenation.

2. LITTLE OR NO DOWNTIME

Traditional micro-needling requires patients to stay inside for days after the procedure. With DermaPen, patients can return to their normal routines within 48 hours. This little or no downtime makes DermaPen much more convenient than other micro-needling treatments.

3. TYPICAL SKIN PROBLEMS

DermaPen Treatment is perfect for common skin problems many people face. It restores the skin’s beauty and helps address other skincare issues. The new skin from the treatment absorbs vitamins and minerals from other skincare products much faster. This makes DermaPen an excellent addition to your regular skincare routine.

1. What is DermaPen Treatment?

Microneedling DermaPen Treatment involves using a derma stamp pen with very fine needles to penetrate your skin in the area being treated. This treatment is able to break down scar tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production. New skin tissue is formed by the new collagen that is produced after the procedure.

2. How Does DermaPen Work?

The DermaPen penetrates the skin’s outermost layer to deliver your treatment. It creates thousands of microscopic wounds to the area being treated. The body will respond to this by producing a large amount of collagen and elastin. Results are seen as the area that has undergone treatment is rejuvenated.

3. What Issues Can Be Targeted with Microneedling DermaPen?

The following skin issues can be targeted with DermaPen Treatment.

• Scars
• Deep wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Sagging skin
• Large pores
• Rough skin texture
• Stretch marks

4. What will I experience after the microneedling treatment is over?

There will be some redness and mild swelling for 2 to 4 days after your DermaPen Treatment. You may experience very slight bruising or tiny blood spots on the skin. Symptoms like this will disappear between 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

5. When will I see the micro-needling results?

About 7 days after treatment with DermaPen, your skin will become smooth and radiant.

6. What can I expect to happen during treatment?

Typically, DermaPen Treatment involves cleaning and numbing of the skin before the treatment starts. The DermaPen is then used to puncture microscopic wounds in the skin. After the treatment is over, serum containing Vitamin-C or Hyaluronic acid is applied to your skin. This is necessary to help the skin to renew itself.

7. How much down time can I expect with this treatment?

The down time involved in DermaPen Treatment is minimal. Although skin redness and inflammation are extremely common, these symptoms soon disappear in 2 to 4 days. Side-effects may be more severe depending on the intensity of the treatment.

8. Which areas can be treated with DermaPen?

As DermaPen treatment works on all skin types, everyone can benefit from skin-rejuvenating results. Typically, the areas you can have treated include the face and neck, the mouth, the skin around the eyes, the body and the scalp.

9. What happens to the skin after DermaPen treatment?

Micro-needling treatments like DermaPen improve the absorption and efficiency of skin care products. Circulation and collagen production are boosted by more than 1,000%.

10. I have dark skin. Is this treatment right for me?

DermaPen works in the same way for all skin types and colours. Treatment won’t produce any inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

11. Is the treatment going to be painful?

The amount of pain involved in DermaPen Treatment is going to depend on how deep the needles need to penetrate. When a numbing cream is used beforehand, any pain experienced will be minimal.

12. How many treatments will I need?

The severity of the skin condition you have is going to determine how many treatments you’ll need to achieve the desired results. In the majority of cases, noticeable improvements are seen in between 1 to 4 sessions. Book your free consultation at the London Lip Clinic today to find out how many treatments you’ll need.

13. How long do I need to wait between DermaPen Treatments?

It’s recommended to wait 4 to 6 weeks between treatments.

14. What are the side-effects?

Other than the minimal after-effects already mentioned here, there are no side-effects reported from thousands of DermaPen Treatments performed around the world.

15. What should I avoid using after treatment?

You’ll need to avoid the sun, chemical peels, makeup and anything which is non-comedogenic for several days after your treatment. The aim of all this is to ensure that your micro wounds heal properly.

16. Is this treatment safe?

Micro-needling is completely safe and suitable for use on all skin types. The epidermis suffers no damage during the treatment. It’s extremely unlikely that there will be a change in skin tones or hyper-pigmentation. The DermaPen Treatment is used on sensitive areas, such as the eyes, face and hands. These areas can’t be addressed simply with other methods available today.

17. Is there any risk of infection with this treatment?

As the microscopic wounds created by the procedure heal within an hour, there is very little risk of getting an infection in the area that was treated.

A word of caution

DermaPen Treatment is not always an appropriate treatment in all cases. For example, individuals who have used Roaccutane in the last 90 days should not have the treatment. Pregnant women should also avoid having treatment. Those who have undergone radiation therapy in the last year shouldn’t have the procedure done.
