DERMAPEN
MICRONEEDLING
The Dermapen uses microneedles, creating micro injuries to the epidermis and dermis (the outer and inner layer of skin), which encourage the body’s innate ability to repair itself. The result is an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing, retexturizing and overall skin renewal anywhere on the body, from hard to reach areas such as around the eyes, eyelids, neck, lips, nose, to larger areas of neck and décolleté, stomach and legs for stretch mark treatments.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE in Microneedling Options?
Radiofrequency microneedling uses radiofrequency energy alongside tiny needles to penetrate deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production more effectively, resulting in potentially better results for those with deeper wrinkles and scars. Whereas microneedling with the Dermapen creates micro-channels in the skin for milder concerns like fine lines, acne and surface texture issues. Both can effectively treat acne, acne scars, and discoloration but the Dermapen can get in tighter and more delicate areas like the delicate skin around the eyes. Paired with potent, clinical-grade skincare to enhance and improve treatment results, the Dermapen mechanically mimics the effects of fractionated laser technologies by creating microscopically small punctures in the dermis, where our collagen and elastin live.
What to know about treatments:
For optimal results, medical-grade skincare will be recommended. You are investing in your treatment, invest in your skin and optimize your goals! Dp Dermaceuticals is the world’s first meso-infusion skincare exclusively designed for microneedling procedures with the DermaPen, but we also offer amazing medical-grade skincare by Obagi Medical & Alumier MD to enhance and deliver best results.
​
Rejuvenation: 3-6 treatments 4-8 weeks apart

​
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 3 to 6 treatments. The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended Dp Dermaceuticals aftercare regime.
​
While there is no clinical evidence that microneedling treatments counteract with any particular injectables, please let us know if you have had any recent neurotoxins or dermal filler. We do recommend waiting a minimum of 6 weeks after these procedures to have a microneedling treatment.
​
Generally there is NO DOWNTIME, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. If you must go straight to work or out, we can apply some Cover Recover to seal and heal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work!
