Dermapen can improve skin problems such as fine wrinkles, blemishes, and acne scars. This is a device using the microneedling method. Generally used for treatment purposes, Dermapen also promises a rejuvenated skin when used as a routine skincare procedure.
What is Dermapen?
DermaPen is a microneedling skin treatment that triggers collagen production and is used to improve acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and scars. This treatment uses a device called DermaPen, in which a head with different lengths of needles is applied to the skin. It is a patented technology which also gives its name to the application itself. Because it aims to start natural healing process of the skin, it ensures a natural rejuvenation of the skin.
The head with thin needles makes holes at the micro-level on the application area, so it causes a certain level of damage to the skin. As a result of the damage, the skin gets injured. Although this injury is at a micro-level, the body sees it as a wound and triggers the natural healing process. So Dermapen aims to trigger the body’s response to injury, albeit at a lower level. During the healing process, the skin gets to produce elastin and collagen. These are proteins found naturally in the skin, which give it smoothness and vitality. As the collagen and elastin production increases, the skin rejuvenates and problems smooth out.
How is Dermapen Performed?
Dermapen is an extremely simple procedure for both the client and the specialist. This device, which looks like a pen, has thin-tipped needles made of stainless steel. When applied to the skin, it opens tiny holes. It causes a little bleeding, but it does not cause serious damage because it does not reach the deep layers of the skin. Dermapen should be sterilized before the procedure to eliminate the risk of infection.
Before starting the procedure, your skin should be thoroughly cleaned. You should wear no makeup and have a completely clean face. After your face is cleaned, a local anesthetic cream is applied to avoid pain. Although the Dermapen does not cause serious pain, needles can cause mild pain. After numbing the skin, micro needling procedure starts. Once the micro needling is over, anti-inflammatory products are applied on the application area to prevent inflammation and moisturize the skin. After this procedure, which is done in about 15 minutes, you will notice skin rejuvenation and renewal.
Where Can Dermapen Be Applied?
Dermapen can be applied in many different parts of the body so you can generally benefit from this procedure all over your body. Dermapen can be used for problems in the hands, face, neck, legs, and even the abdomen.
