Skin Needling

 

Dermapen™ is a non-invasive skin needling treatment that restores and rejuvenates the skin by reducing wrinkles and fine lines, tightening and improving elasticity, shrinking enlarged pores, minimising scarring, and repairing pigmentation, sun damaged and ageing skin.

HOW IT WORKS

Dermapen™ penetrates the top layer of skin with micro-needles that create pin-point injuries in the deeper layers. This then triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation. 

Dermapen™ skin needling is used to treat the face, neck and décolletage.

RESULTS

Results are visible after six weeks and last for up to one to three months. Regular treatments will help to maintain the best results. 

TREATMENT PREPARATION
  • Prime your skin two weeks prior with vitamin A, vitamin C and other growth factor serums 
  • Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for two weeks prior 
  • Cease blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, omega-oils, multivitamins, vitamin B, vitamin E and glucosamine for one week prior to minimise the risk of bruising 
  • Men are to be clean shaven prior to treatment

Advise your clinician if you: 

  • Are taking topical antibiotics for acne (will need to cease two weeks prior to treatment) 
  • Have active sunburn, solar keratosis or tan  
  • Have cosmetic body implants  
  • Are taking arrhythmia medications (will need to cease prior to treatment) 
  • Have an auto-immune disorder 
  • Are taking blood thinners (aspirin, Warfarin, ibuprofen, fish oils, ginkgo biloba and alcohol), photosensitisers, and/or antidepressants (consult with client’s general practitioner prior to treatment) 
  • Have received cosmetic injectable treatments in the past 14 days or electrolysis in the past week 
WHAT TO EXPECT

Prior to your first treatment, your clinician will consult with you to assess your suitability for Dermapen™ and discuss any concerns or questions you may.  

The treatment involves our clinician making small punctures to the outermost layers of your skin with the Dermapen™.  An anaesthetic agent will be applied to minimise discomfort throughout the treatment.  

WHO IS NOT SUITABLE

Anyone who: 

  • Is pregnant 
  • Is, or has taken isotretinoin in the past six months 
  • Has cold sores, acne, or any other skin infection 
  • Has tested positive for Hep B, Hep C, or HIV 
  • Has had any laser resurfacing in the last three months 
  • Currently has a bacterial or fungal infection 
  • Has a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring or wound healing 
  • Has areas of skin that are numb or lack sensation 
  • Has undergone radiation treatment in the last 12 months 
  • Has a history of post-inflammatory pigmentation 

If you are unsure, contact your clinic.  

 

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
  • Redness, swelling, sensitivity, tenderness and stinging, which is usually resolved within 24 hours.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
  • Avoid excessive exercise in the first 24 hours 
  • Avoid scrubs and exfoliants and strong skincare products for the first three to five days 
  • Avoid cosmetic injectables for the first week 
  • Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for the first two weeks

Melissa did an amazing job! She is an absolute star! So professional but at the same time, caring and makes you feel totally at ease!

“

I have already booked my daughter in and recommended three friends who are booking tomorrow. Bianca respectfully proceeded whilst not dictating to you about your regime not being correct. Due to her professional approach, I will revisit.

“

Dr Gus was thorough, professional and yet so personable at the same time. We felt safe and cared for in his hands.

Tali provides an exceptional, personalised treatment. She is very thorough and professional.

“

Bianca always takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and are happy with the treatment after. My skin is always so bright and clear after seeing her!

“

I appreciated that when I came to see Dr Gus with the intention of having more anti-wrinkle injections that he advised me to wait for another month as he felt I didn’t need them yet. I am sure that if I had walked into a shopping centre style clinic they would have given the injections whether I needed them or not! Thank you.

Lauren makes me feel comfortable and welcome every time I come to the clinic and leaves me looking and feeling confident and beautiful.

Awesome clinic, high standards of medical care. I was in very good hands.

Andrew

“

The clinic is just beautiful, the staff super friendly and made me feel very welcome and at ease. The nurse explained what was happening at every step and constantly checked I was feeling ok. This was very reassuring given I had not had this treatment before. A very pleasant and enjoyable experience and I will highly recommend this clinic to my family and friends.

OMG! Seriously, the PhotoGenic Facial was the most relaxing experience I have had in a very a long time. I walked out feeling rejuvenated. I truly loved the whole experience and ambiance of the Clinic – thank you to the Artisan team – just FABULOUS! I’ll be back!
