Dermapen FAQ

Our most asked questions about Dermapen treatments

  • Dermapen is the breakthrough of the decade utilising the most advanced needle cartridge innovation to pierce the skin vertically. Dermapen glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other micro-needling devices. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients more profound into the skin. In turn, our body's natural response triggers a natural repair process.

    The result is an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing, retexturizing, and overall skin renewal anywhere on the body, from hard to reach areas such as around the eyes, eyelids, earlobes, neck, lips, nose, or larger areas of the neck and décolleté, stomach and legs for stretch mark treatments.

    Dermapen treatments are faster, safer, and produce optimal results.

  • Traditional dermal rolling techniques proved to be a bloody and painful treatment, requiring the application of topical anesthetic cream (TLA) before treatments. A progression was seen with Dermapen which caused less epidermal (skin) damage, and reduced levels of pain and discomfort for safer, more effective micro needling treatments. Today with Dermapen there is no comparison - this is the most comfortable, virtually pain-free microneedling treatment available. Dermapen treatments are so comfortable there is no need for any TLA. Just lay back and enjoy the stunning results.

  • It is important before starting Dermapen Treatments the skin is properly prepped.

    That will require the skin to be hydrated and use Tyronsinase inhibitors in home care. B-Hydrated serum plus a Juvenate moisturizer 2-3 weeks before and after Dermapen treatments are ideal to get the best product penetration in treatment, achieve the best results, reduce the risk of unnecessary inflammation, reducing the risk of a herpes outbreak.

  • How soon after filler/muscle relaxant injections can I have a Dermapen treatment?

    While there is no clinical evidence that Dermapen treatments counteract any particular injectables, it is important to let your clinician know if you have had an injectable treatment, or are planning one shortly. Your clinician will be able to advise you on when to schedule your treatment appropriately.

  • Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 3 to 6 treatments (spaced 2-8 weeks apart). The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended post-treatment care.
