DERMAPEN 4™ MICRONEEDLING
Dermapen 4™ Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure. It involves the use of a device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Dermapen 4™ delivers the ultimate in advanced microneedling and can create an astounding 1,920 puncture channels per second, up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices. Dermapen 4™ glides over the skin, creating millions of fine and vertical fractional channels. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin. The micro-injuries stimulate a natural repair process, enhancing collagen and elastin production and visibly improving various skin issues.
Dermapen 4™ technology has significant benefits over dermal-rolling and fractional laser treatments due to the minimal trauma to your skin. Dermapen 4™ microneedling gives skin the chance to spend more effort fighting the ailment itself, rather than any collateral damage caused by the procedure.
What’s Microneedling?
Microneedling is a sought-after skin renewal procedure that visibly improves a wide range of concerns. Micro-fine needles are adjusted to different depths and speeds to create fractional puncture channels on the surface of the skin. Unlike injectable treatments, microneedling is an entirely natural process that stimulates the body’s own repair and renewal function to create collagen and elastin.

FAQ: Dermapen 4™ Microneedling
Traditional dermal-rolling techniques proved to be bloody and painful, requiring the application of topical anaesthetic cream (TLA) before treatments. The level of pain experienced during a Dermapen 4™ microneedling procedure can vary from person to person. However, the procedure is generally well-tolerated by most individuals. If you have a low pain tolerance, you can purchase a numbing cream at the pharmacy. Ask for 5% Lidocaine numbing cream and apply it on your skin 30 minutes before your appointment.
You may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after a professional procedure. Most people can return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
