How does Micro Needling Pen Work?

The microneedling pen, also known as a dermapen, is a handheld device that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin.

  • The pen’s fine needles gently puncture the skin, creating controlled micro-wounds. These tiny injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response.
  • As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin. Collagen is essential for skin firmness, elasticity, and overall health.
  • The repaired tissue results in smoother, firmer skin. Microneedling can improve various concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, and dark spots.
  • After microneedling, the skin is more receptive to serums and skincare products. Applying serums immediately afterward allows deeper penetration and better results.

Who is Micro Needling Pen recommended for?

  • Ageing Skin: Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. Regular use of microneedling pens can help minimize fine lines and wrinkles over time.
  • Acne Scarring: Dermapens effectively target acne scars by promoting skin regeneration and reducing scar visibility.

What are the Optimal Results?

The optimal results of microneedling pens (dermapens) can vary based on individual factors and treatment goals. However, here are some general outcomes:

Skin Texture Improvement: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.

Scar Reduction: Microneedling helps fade acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Regular sessions can gradually improve scar texture and visibility.

Even Skin Tone: Dermapens promote skin regeneration, which can reduce hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Considerations before Treatment

Preparation

Avoid Sunburn: Refrain from sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment.

No Waxing or Depilation: Avoid waxing, depilation, or electrolysis on the treatment areas in the week leading up to your session.

Shave: If you have facial hair, shave your skin 48-72 hours before the treatment and avoid shaving on the day of the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care

Gentle Skincare: Avoid scrubbing or harsh skincare routines.

No Chemical Peels: Refrain from chemical peels for two weeks before treatment.

Cool Showers: Opt for cool showers instead of hot ones.

Avoid Accutane: If you’ve taken Accutane, wait at least six months before microneedling.

Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 48 hours after treatment.

Importance of Cosmeceuticals in Micro Needling Pen Treatments

Here’s why cosmeceuticals matter:

Synergy: Combining microneedling with cosmeceuticals enhances results. For example:

  • Antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C): Protect the skin from free radicals and boost collagen production.
  • Peptides: Promote skin repair and firmness.

Preparation: Cosmeceuticals optimize skin condition before microneedling. They improve texture, hydration, and overall health.

Post-Treatment Care: After microneedling, cosmeceuticals aid in recovery:

  • Hydrators: Maintain skin moisture.
  • Anti-Inflammatories: Reduce redness and inflammation.
