Dermapen 4

Your skin has a self-rejuvenating function with minimum downtime. It is capable of significantly reducing blemishes caused by acne, trauma, pigmentation and a range of other ailments. In our Wellington clinic, we use microneedling to activate a process of collagen induction. This therapy involves a Dermapen facial treatment that creates tiny punctures across the affected area.

As your skin responds and heals, it produces collagen which forms a new layer of fresh tissue, creating a more youthful appearance on the surface. By promoting healing it rejuvenates the skin and improves the appearance of scars, acne scarring, stretch marks, wrinkles, pigmentation.

Some commonly asked questions are answered below. Click on a question to reveal more information.

Approximately 48 to 72 hours after the treatment you’ll have an increase in collagen production. However, it takes at least four weeks to see noticeable results.

The new collagen will last for several years, which is why microneedling treatment is considered a very long lasting treatment. Unlike the laser, you can repeat microneedling without building up scar tissue. However, when scars and stretch marks are treated the results generally are permanent or at least long lasting.

Many patients say that microneedling causes a little discomfort. Normally patients do not require topical anaesthetic, but if the procedure does prove uncomfortable this can easily be applied.

Superficial Dermapen™ treatments may be performed as often as every 4 weeks to manage and correct uneven tone without overstimulating or harming the skin. Unlike laser or IPL, Dermapen™ treatments may be performed on all skin colours and on all types of unwanted pigmentation.

It is normal for the skin to peel within a few days of microneedling treatment. It creates a large number of tiny punctures on your face, which your body responds to by initiating repair. A new layer of skin is produced and the old skin begins peeling off.

Anti-aging

Dermapen 4 treatments are designed to create a safe healing response within the body to ignite natural collagen and elastin production from within the skin. There are no harsh side effects or downtime.

As your skin’s surface layers repair themselves it naturally creates healthier skin which looks brighter, tighter and more evenly toned, as well as refined pores and reduced wrinkles.

Your face, lip area, eye area, ears, neck, chest, hands and scalp are all treated with pinpoint precision to promote rapid lifting, firming and toning of facial features and contours.

The microchannels allow your skin to carry up to 80% more active ingredients which dive deep into your skin to feed and be absorbed by the underlying cells.

You’ll see results in just one session.

Scarring

Dermapen 4 is the only micro-needling device with a dedicated scar setting and protocols for revision of deep, atrophic scars including surgical, burn contracture, striae and post-acne scars.

Needle penetration can now be up to 3.0mm making it ideal for the treatment of stretch marks, both old and new and more effective than any laser treatment.

Pigmentation

Unlike some laser treatments, Dermapen removes the risk of heat injury and hypopigmentation risks, while promoting optimised cell function. This makes it a suitable procedure for any patient affected by melasma or with a predisposition to hyperpigmentation. Treatment is also suitable on all Fitzpatrick Skin Types and ethnicities. Dermapen treatments have also been found to be effective on Hypopigmentation Vitiligo treatments.

Dermapen treatments can be effective for multitude of conditions including: Rosacea, telangiectasia, seborrheic dermatitis, aesthetic gynaecology, alopecia and many others.
