Micro Needling

The Skin pen is passed over the area to be treated, and inserts tiny needles into the skin, leaving micro puncture wounds. This triggers the bodies wound healing response and encourages the body to release skin cells in that area. While the body repairs the skin, it increases the production of collagen and elastin, immediately plumping the area, and causing wrinkles to diminish. As the body repairs the skin you will also see scarring, dark marks and sun damage decrease

How does it work?

Micro-needling is also effective for hair regeneration. The process works in much the same way; as the wound healing response takes place, it stimulates blood circulation and increases nutrients reaching the hair follicles, this combined with the stimulation of proteins in the area can result in new hair growth. Results may vary from person to person.

FAQ’s

  • Microneedling with a Dermapen involves using a pen-like device with tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production, which can improve the skin's texture and tone over time.

  • It's versatile! Microneedling can help with issues like acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and even stretch marks. It can also enhance the overall appearance of your skin, making it look fresher and more rejuvenated.

  • The sensation during microneedling can vary. Most people describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating feeling. A numbing cream is typically applied before the treatment, so discomfort is usually minimal. If you're sensitive to pain, make sure to let your provider know.

  • Downtime is generally short. Expect some redness and possibly minor swelling immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn which usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. You might experience some dryness or flaking too. Most people resume their normal activities the next day with proper aftercare.

  • This depends on your skin goals and condition. For most, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced about four weeks apart brings noticeable improvements.
