What is Dermapen Microneedling?
Dermapen Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a specialised device to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture and appearance.
Why should I choose the Dermapen for microneedling?
Dermapen is a leading choice in microneedling due to its precision and advanced technology.
Unlike traditional methods, the Dermapen features adjustable needle depths and speed settings, allowing for a customised treatment that targets specific skin concerns effectively.
Its vertical penetration minimises damage to the surrounding tissue, leading to quicker recovery times and less discomfort.
Is Dermapen Microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Dermapen Microneedling is safe for all skin types. However, a consultation with a qualified professional is essential to determine if this treatment is right for you, especially if you have specific skin conditions or concerns.
Does The Treatment Hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during Dermapen Microneedling. You may feel a slight prickling or tingling sensation, but it is generally well tolerated.
How Long Does A Single Session Take?
Each session typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific skin concerns being addressed.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
The number of sessions required varies based on individual goals and skin conditions. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve the best results.
Is There Any Downtime After The Treatment?
Yes, there is typically some downtime after Dermapen Microneedling. Most individuals experience redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn immediately after the procedure. This usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may experience minor peeling or flaking of the skin as it heals, which generally resolves within a week.
Are there any side effects or risks?
While Dermapen Microneedling is generally safe, potential side effects may include redness, swelling, and minor bruising. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a trained Dermal Clinician at Brains Aesthetics.
How long do the results last?
Results can last for several months, depending on individual skin type and conditions.
Maintaining a proper skincare routine and scheduling follow-up treatments can enhance and prolong the results.
How can I prepare for my Dermapen Microneedling session?
Before your treatment, avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and certain skincare products for a few days.
It’s also advisable to stay hydrated before the appointment.
