Controlled micro-injury therapy that triggers your skin’s own collagen and elastin production — improving acne scars, fine lines, pore size, and overall texture, with minimal downtime.
Dermapen is a motorized microneedling device that creates thousands of controlled, precise micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response — stimulating new collagen and elastin production — while allowing active serums to absorb far more effectively than on unbroken skin. Unlike manual derma rollers, Dermapen’s adjustable needle depth allows the treatment to be customized precisely to each area and concern.
Needle depth and technique are adjusted depending on what you’re treating — this isn’t a one-size-fits-all pass.
For Acne Scars
Deeper, targeted passes over scarred areas to break down fibrous scar tissue and stimulate fresh collagen — softening boxcar and rolling acne scars over a series of sessions.
For Fine Lines & Firmness
Lighter, even passes across the full face to gradually rebuild collagen and elastin — ideal for early fine lines, loss of firmness, and overall skin quality.
For Pigmentation & Texture
Combined with brightening serums applied through the micro-channels to improve product penetration — evening out tone while refining rough or uneven texture.
Microneedling works well if you’re experiencing any of the following.
Most concerns require 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, giving the skin time to rebuild collagen between treatments. Acne scarring often needs a longer course than general skin rejuvenation.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most clients describe a mild pressure or scratchy sensation rather than pain. Sensitivity can vary depending on the treatment depth and area.
Expect redness and mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people return to normal activities the same or next day, though makeup is best avoided for the first 24 hours.
Dermapen is a motorized device with adjustable needle depth, creating consistent, vertical micro-channels with far more precision and control than a manual roller. This means more even results and less risk of tearing or dragging the skin.
Yes — it’s often paired with growth factor or hydrating serums applied during the session to enhance results. Your treatment plan will be built around your specific goals during consultation.
An initial glow is often visible within a few days as skin recovers. Collagen remodeling continues over 4–6 weeks per session, with cumulative improvement becoming more visible across a full course of treatments.
It’s generally safe across skin types when performed by trained professionals with the right depth and aftercare. It isn’t recommended during active acne breakouts, skin infections, pregnancy, or for those on blood-thinning medication — your consultation will confirm suitability.
