What is Microneedling?

Dermapen 4 microneedling treatments are a type of cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance and condition of the skin. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using the Dermapen 4 devise. These punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Here’s how the Dermapen 4 microneedling treatment typically works:

Before undergoing the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a Dermapen 4  Authorised treatment provider. They will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment.

Preparation:

On the day of the treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped. 

Microneedling:

The Dermapen 4 device consists of a small, handheld device with multiple fine needles at the tip. The device is gently pressed against the skin and moved in a controlled manner, creating microscopic punctures. The depth of the needles can be adjusted based on your specific needs and the areas being treated.

Collagen induction:

The tiny punctures created by the microneedles trigger the skin’s natural healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize scars and stretch marks, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.

Topical treatments:

During the microneedling procedure, your authorised treatment provider may apply serums, growth factors, or other topical treatments for the Dermaceuticals range to enhance the effects of the treatment. These products can penetrate the skin more effectively through the microchannels created by the needles, maximizing their benefits.

Aftercare:

After the procedure, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. Your skincare professional will apply Cover recover to camouflage the redness while soothing the skin, then discuss with you specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle cleansers and moisturizers, and applying sunscreen regularly.

Dermapen 4 microneedling treatments are typically performed in a series of sessions of 3 to 4 sessions  spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions needed depends on your skin condition and desired outcomes.

It’s important to note that while microneedling is generally considered safe and effective, it’s crucial to have the procedure performed by a trained professional in a sterile environment to minimize the risk of infection or other complications. Additionally, not everyone is a suitable candidate for microneedling, so it’s essential to consult with a skincare professional to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.
