Dermapen Micro-needling

A medical device used for the purpose of breaking down old scar tissue and stimulate skin cells for proliferation. This multiplication results in the creation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibers, as well as improved blood supply.

Dermapen Treatment is a skin needling tool used to facilitate collagen induction therapy also known as micro-needling. The process involves the penetration of small needles into the skin to create micro injuries, which when healed will stimulate the production of collagen.

The skin is cleaned and numbing cream may be applied to lessen discomfort. During the procedure Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin-C serum or skin lightener for pigmentation will be use. A small handheld pen like device with a sterile, disposable tip with 12 tiny needles is then used to pierce the skin.

The needling pen’s multi-speed and adjustable needle depth allow needles to pierce the skin’s layer at 90 degrees and increase the absorption of products. After the treatment, soothing Hyaluronic acid are used to hydrate, heal and protect the skin.

Most people will experience mild redness and possibly some swelling. The same way you may feel with a mild sunburn. Effects may last for about 24-48 hours and there may be pinpoint bleeding and/or bruising. Within several days to several weeks you will notice a smoother, brighter, and more radiant appearance; however, the full effects of the treatment do not appear until several months later.

The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to 48 hours. In order to reduce visible redness, I recommend using LED Light Therapy in combination to speed up the healing process, and you will need to protect the skin with zinc based sunblock. The use of mineral makeup may be used after procedure.

• • • Improves the quality and texture of the skin
    • Reduces pore size
    • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
    • Improves the look of scars
    • Improves the appearance of stretch marks

Numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment which drastically minimizes or eliminates any pain altogether.

The tiny pricking channels close within one hour. The likelihood of infection occurring is extremely low.

Dermapen micro-needling creates precise micro injuries which are guaranteed to deliver a variety of skin benefits. It is created to solve the most common skin issues in men and women:

• • • Acne scars
    • Stretch marks
    • Signs of skin aging

The depth of the injuries does not cause a great deal of pain. As topical numbing cream will be applied prior to the procedure, a client’s comfort is guaranteed. The micro-needles found in Dermapen gently glide through the skin as they create micro channels. The injuries then cause an immune response which then triggers the body to produce not only collagen but elastin. These skin essentials then fill in the micro channels with freshly-produced collagen.

Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results.

• • • For collagen induction I recommend to start with 3 treatments, but with a minimum separation time of 4 to 6 weeks between treatments.
    • For scar reduction an average of 3 to 6 treatments are recommended.

The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments, and the extent of the damage at the beginning. Micro-needling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs, etc). Most people will begin to see results after the very first appointment.

Absolutely.It’s safe and effective for all types and colors of skin. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.

There are virtually no negative side effects from the procedure. None of been reported in over 150,000 procedures performed worldwide.

The use of a Dermapen micro-needling has virtually no downtime and you will see results in just one session. Although clients will need to repeat the procedure up to 4 times with 4 to 6 weeks intervals, clients reported long-lasting results that include the disappearance of aging signs such as wrinkles.
