Dermapen is a non-invasive micro-needling skin treatment
that reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and
stretch marks. Dermapen is a handheld device that pokes your skin with a small
cluster of needles at a high rate. The needles trigger a healing response in
your skin that boosts new collagen and elastin growth for smoother and younger
looking skin.
How treatment with Dermapen is performed
Dermapen is a non-invasive and painless outpatient procedure
performed in your physician's office or suite. Your doctor will numb the
treatment area with a topical anesthetic cream and pass the Dermapen over your
skin. The Dermapen has 11 sterile, surgical steel micro needles, which
penetrate the dermis and epidermis layers of your skin at a fast rate. You may
feel a tingling or prickly sensation during treatment.
Recovery and results
There is minimal downtime; your skin will simply be red for
about two hours after treatment. The most common side effects, which usually resolve
within 48 hours, include redness, itching, stinging, and skin tightness. You
may need up to six treatment sessions for optimum results. Read More
