Skin Needling

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

• 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 

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.
