Treatment Overview
Microneedling by Dermapen is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize scars. This advanced procedure enhances skin’s natural healing process, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Safe for all skin types, microneedling targets concerns like acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven tone with little downtime.

Before Treatment:
Before your Dermapen® (microneedling) session, arrive 45 minutes to an hour early to cleanse your skin and apply numbing cream. Avoid using Retin-A or skincare products with active ingredients for 3–4 days beforehand to reduce irritation. These steps help ensure your skin is prepared for the procedure. Proper preparation enhances your results and minimizes sensitivity during treatment.
During Treatment:
Your Dermapen® microneedling session involves a specialized device with tiny needles gently passed and stamped into your skin. The treatment typically lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being addressed. With numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. This technique promotes skin rejuvenation and boosts collagen production effectively.
After Treatment:
After your Dermapen® microneedling procedure, your skin may appear red and swollen, with a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. Redness and swelling usually subside within 24 hours to 7 days, depending on your skin's response. Avoid harsh products, including Retin-A or skincare with active ingredients, during this healing period. Proper aftercare ensures optimal recovery and enhances the overall results.
