Dermapen Microneedling

Facial skin is a sensitive part of the body that needs care. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the skin of your face is smooth, glowing, and lively all the time. Age and growing level of pollution can take a toll on the health of your skin, rendering it dull, full of scars and wrinkles. But what if we tell you that there is a way out from it? Yes, there is one such therapy, known as Dermapen Microneedling, that helps in tightening and rejuvenating your skin.

What is Dermapen Microneedling?

Catering to the health and appearance of your skin, Dermapen Microneedling is a revolutionary skin treatment that accelerates the production of natural Collagen and promotes scar-less healing. Evident from the name, it is done with the help of Dermapen, which is a fractional microneedling device that is used to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin.

Two aspects of Dermapen microneedling help it stand out from other similar treatments in the world of dermatology. First of all, it can reach various difficult-to-get-around areas of the face such as the crevices around the nose, lips, and eyes. Secondly, unlike most other forms of skin treatments, it brings minimal side-effects to your skin.

In this treatment, your old scar tissues are broken down and new skin cells are stimulated for proliferation. This results in the creation of collagen and elastin in your tissue layer, both of which are responsible for smooth, supple skin. Besides, it also improves blood supply, which contributes to the overall glow of your skin.

The benefits of Dermapen Microneedling are multi-fold. Take a look at the various skin problems that can be solved with this new-age technology.

• Wrinkles
• Acne
• Dark spots
• Acne scars
• Trauma scars
• Surgical scars
• Keloid scars
• Fine lines
• Dilated pores
• Pigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Crow’s feet
• Dark circles

This skin treatment helps you get younger-looking skin by the end of the entire process since it makes your skin smoother and firmer thereby adding glow to your face.

How does Dermapen Microneedling Work?

Dermapen is a microneedling pen that has a unique spring-loaded needle tip that helps resolve your skin issues. Consisting of 11 ultra-fine sterile stainless steel needles, the Dermapen is injected into the skin to create tiny punctures that lead to minor surface bleeding.

However, there is no need to worry! Since the needles prick only the layers of the skin, you will experience minimal pain, and sometimes, it is even negligible. To be specific, the punctures are created on the dermis (inner layer of your skin) and the epidermis (outer layer of your skin) of the affected area. For people with high sensitivity towards pain, a numbing cream is applied to minimalize the sensations.

This microneedling process employs an automated vibrating stamp-like motion to create the punctures. The highly-controlled nature of Dermapen makes it medically safer than other forms of microneedling treatment.

The punctures, created in the affected areas are essentially like wounds. As they heal, collagen starts forming, thereby resulting in smoother and thicker skin. This treatment accelerates the collagen and elastin production process. Since the human body tends to produce less collagen as it ages, this is considered one of the major benefits of this treatment. The process also encourages the innate ability of your body to heal itself.

Here’s a look at how the Dermapen microneedling process is conducted.

As you can see from the video above, the entire process consists of four distinct stages.

Stage 1 – Cleansing

First and foremost, the dead cells, dirt, and dust are removed through deep cleansing. This helps in the effective penetration of the needles into the skin for better treatment.

Stage 2 – Treatment

This is the stage where the microneedling process takes place, which has been explained above. As your skin is penetrated, it pumps and thickens, thereby reducing the appearance of those scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, etc.

Stage 3 – Masking

After getting treated, a cooling mask is put on your skin to inhibit any sort of inflammation that you might feel from the treatment.

Stage 4 – Skin Moisturizing

The final stage of this process deals with skin moisturizing. It is very important to keep the skin hydrated to reap the maximum benefit from the process.

Is Dermapen Microneedling Safe?

As stated above, Dermapen Microneedling is one of the most trusted facial skin treatments in the world today. It has been designed to provide more targeted results when compared to other microneedling treatments.

The patent-pending microneedling tip of Dermapen comes in sterilized individual packages that are easily replaceable. This means that there are absolutely no chances of getting infected by others as the needles are replaced every time for a new patient.

Also, the device can be personalized based on individual needs. The 11 stainless steel needles, which are loaded into the spring automated device can be adjusted from 0.25-2.50 ml, depending upon which area of your face needs treatment. This ensures that the punctures made by the needles are precise, effective, and safe.

Instead of entering at a specified angle, the Dermapen needles are injected vertically for ensuring less damage to the skin’s surface as well as less overall discomfort.

Dermapen microneedling can be applied to people of varied skin types. However, if you have a history of skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis, then it is advised not to undergo this treatment. Pregnant women should avoid this treatment as well. Other than that, you are good to go.

Having said all of these, we must tell you that you should be cautious of where you get this treatment since it is an extremely meticulous process and should be supervised by certified medical personnel at reputed medical institutions only.

Post-Treatment

Dermapen microneedling has minimalistic post-treatment requirements. Some patients may experience minor redness, flaking, or itching, but this is pretty natural and should disappear within a few days.

We advise you not to apply make-up for the first 24 hours after the treatment and use only oil-free make-up for a couple of days after the 24-hours window. We also recommend you avoid intense cardio exercises, steam, and sauna sessions 48 hours before and after the treatment.

Final Thoughts
