Dermapen treatment is a popular method that is suitable for treating many different skin problems. The treatment aims to cause a controlled damage to the skin to trigger the natural repair process. This is because the production of collagen speeds up, one of the skin's most important proteins and the skin's structure and condition are improved.
Using sterile disposable needles creates up to 1300 micro stings in the skin (per second). This creates a collagen-stimulating effect deep down in the skin as well as small channels that increase the skin's ability to absorb moisture and nourishment.
The new version of microneedling is completely digital. It can be compared with other methods that use lasers but with much fewer side effects and the ability to be performed on all different skin types and skin colours. 16 thin disposable medical needles help to release constructive and nourishing serum into the skin. In a painless and effective way, thousands of microchannels are created down into your skin for the needles to work in. The result is even, and because the channels are so small, the pain is reduced to virtually non-existent levels.
The treatment is also more effective and in-depth than microdermabrasion and chemical peels. During the treatment, use a cocktail of hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamins and minerals that are carried deep into the skin. We use serum with high efficiency (medical grade, eg hyaluronic acid 3.5%). We adapt your serum free of charge as desired, e.g. extra collagen or vitamin c.
Before the treatment, we clean the skin and put on a mask that prepares the skin for the treatment. After the treatment, we apply a new mask that enhances the effect of the treatment and soothes the skin.
We always recommend starting with a free consultation to go through your wishes and create an individual treatment plan for your skin problem. You can see the results already after the treatment. For more long-term and significant results, however, a series of treatments is needed. The skin continues to build up for another 6-12 months after completing the treatment.
How many treatments are needed is individual, depending on what you want to treat and the desired result. In general, we recommend a basic course of 3-6 treatments with 4-6 weeks between treatments.
General recommendations:
Skin rejuvenation: 3-6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.
Shine / refreshment: 1-2 treatments, 5-6 months apart
Scars (acne, surgery, burns): 6-8 treatments, 3-4 weeks apart.
After the treatment:
You may experience redness of the face for up to 12 hours after treatment. In some individual cases, it can take 1-2 days before the skin has fully recovered, but already after 48 hours, make-up can be applied. Most can return to normal daily activities immediately / the day after treatment. As a result the skin quality improves for the following 3-4 months.
