Dermapen 4 Skin Needling

Skin Needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin key components that keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful. 

Microchannels created during skin needling also promote deeper absorption of active ingredients, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of serums, growth factors or peptides applied during treatment. This increased absorption boosts skin repair at a cellular level and accelerates the regeneration of the epidermis.

Skin needling is recommended for all skin types and is ideal for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, break outs, enlarged pores, rosacea, pigmentation and uneven skin texture.

The advantage of using the Dermapen 4 over other forms of skin needling lays in its patented technology. Dermapen 4 utilises the most advanced needle cartridge innovation to vertically pierce the skin. It gently glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other micro needling devices. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin. The Dermapen 4 is also completely customisable, with the speed and depth of penetration able to be adjusted to suit each patients’ specific needs. Additionally, the DP serums used in the Dermapen 4 protocol are some of the very few on the market specifically designed to safely penetrate deep into the dermis.

Potential benefits include:

  • Encourages the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, plumper skin.

  • Smooths rough or uneven skin, leaving the surface softer and more refined.

  • Softens early signs of ageing and helps maintain youthful skin.

  • Can reduce the appearance of acne scarring, surgical scars, and stretch marks.

  • Fades pigmentation, sun damage, and age spots, leading to a brighter complexion.

  • Helps reduce the size of enlarged pores, creating a smoother overall look.

  • Increases penetration of active skincare ingredients, making your routine more effective.

  • A versatile treatment that can be tailored to suit different skin conditions and tones.

  • Delivers noticeable results without the long recovery associated with more invasive treatments.

FAQ’s

  • Welcome! It is not necessary to book a separate consultation in addition to treatment time. Each appointment is flexible and includes ample consultation time. Of course, if you are unsure and would like some time to think your options over before proceeding, you are more than welcome to book in for a no obligation consultation.

  • A thorough consultation is conducted prior to treatment. If the treatment is deemed suitable, the skin is then cleansed and numbing cream applied per request. A custom serum is applied to the skin and micro needled into the dermis using the Dermapen 4. Finally, a soothing hyaluronic acid mask is applied post treatment and given time to soak in to and soothe the skin. Whilst 30-60 minutes is allocated for your treatment, the actual microneedling component typically only takes a few minutes and feels like scratchy vibrations on your skin. Your skin needling treatment can be boosted or upgraded with an array of add-ons. Please see the costs tab for options.

  • Clients will see an improvement after each treatment, however a series of at least 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for best results. Effective treatment of scarring or stretch marks may take 6-12 treatments. After your initial course of treatments, repeat treatments are recommended every 6-12 months to maintain and enhance results.

  • Skin in the treated area is typically red and mildly swollen with a tight, sunburn like sensation felt immediately post treatment. This generally resolves within 12-48 hours. In the days following treatment, clients may also experience slight peeling or flaking of the skin as it begins to shed and regenerate. Very rarely, bruising may occur and can take 7-14 days to fully resolve. It is important that strict aftercares are followed for best results.

  • Skin needling is considered a very low risk and safe treatment. None the less, as with any skin procedure, this treatment may present rare, but possible side-effects. These are discussed in detail during consultation and include the possibility of sensitivity, grazed skin, pigment issues, infection or allergic reaction.

    • It is preferable you attend your appointment make-up free. If this is not possible, makeup in the targeted areas will be removed by our practitioners prior to treatment. 

    • If you wish to minimise your chances of bruising, it is also recommended that, where medically suitable, you avoid blood thinning medications and vitamins for 1-2 weeks prior. You should also avoid alcohol and caffeine in the preceding 24 hours and not partake in any heat inducing activities, such as heavy workouts, the day of treatment. 

    • It is essential that sun exposure, fake tanning, hair removal and active ingredients (such as retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide etc) are avoided in the treatment area for 7 days prior. 

    • Ideally, skin should also be prepped using our customised skin care. This is particularly important for clients with olive or darker skin tones, whom we recommend use a tyrosinase-inhibiting serum for at least two weeks prior to treatment to help prepare the skin for the best possible results and avoid the risk of any post inflammatory hyper pigmentation occurring.

    • Avoid any heat-inducing activities for 24-48 hours post treatment. These include intense exercise, steam rooms, saunas, spas.

    • Avoid make up or touching your face for 24-48 hours post treatment.

    • Avoid blood thinning medications, vitamins and food for 24-48 hours post treatment.

    • Avoid active skin care ingredients or direct sunlight for 3-7 days.

    • Avoid tattooing, lasers, waxing or invasive facials for 2-4 weeks post treatment.

  • Skin needling is safe for all skin types when the recommended pre care has been diligently followed. Skin needling is not recommended for individuals with cystic acne, open wounds, infections, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the treatment area. It is also contraindicated for those with uncontrolled diabetes, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women (though pregnant and nursing women can still undergo the treatment without topical anaesthetic and with their treating doctor’s permission). Additionally, those prone to keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing should avoid this procedure.
