What is Dermapen and how does it Micro-needling work?

Dermapen is the industry’s leading micro-needling device, which works on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. This treatment significantly improves the appearance of large pores as well as lifting, tightening and rejuvenating the skin.

The Dermapen device uses tiny needles to gently puncture the skin, causing a series of traumatic punctures. The skin will respond back to this by producing natural collagen and elastin to repair itself.

Dermapen is suitable for use on the face and body, for both male and female clients. It is less invasive than many alternative solutions, and you can normally return to your daily activities straight away (although you may notice some redness/swelling).

What does the treatment involve?

Your treatment journey will begin with your aesthetician starting with a consultation to discuss your requirements, before taking you to a treatment room to cleanse your face and assess your skin type to achieve your skin goals.

We will then determine which depth of Dermapen treatment your skin will need. The depth of needle punctures can vary depending on your skin concern. For example, acne scars require a deeper treatment over that area of skin. We will also be able to estimate how many sessions you will need for the best results, and whether you’ll need an UBER chemical peel with your microneedling facial.

When you’re ready to start your treatment, the Dermapen will be applied over your skin with a smooth glide, puncturing 1300 channels into your skin every second.

It will feel uncomfortable, but not painful. However, if you are concerned about the pain, simple over-the-counter pain killers 30 minutes before your appointment is recommended. The treatment lasts for 45 minutes, including an LED Dermalux Light therapy session. If we are treating other parts of your body, such as loose stomach skin, the treatment may take longer.

A cocktail of serums are specially chosen for your treatment. If you are looking for dramatic results, we recommend a chemical peel (UBER Pro Peel) immediately after your micro-needling treatment as your skin channels are open.

Aftercare will be discussed on the day of your treatment. SPF will be applied before you leave the salon to protect your skin from direct light. Your aesthetician will advise you on how soon you should book your next treatment (between 3-6 weeks).
