general infomation
Microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy. It utilises the use of a hand held device containing tiny needles and the use of serum cosmeceuticals “active ingredients”.
The process involves making tiny micro channels using the needles on the skin to facilitate a pathway for the deeper penetration of products directly to the skin cells responsible for boosting collagen and elastin and therefore minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving the overall appearance of the skin.
The skin’s healing process after micro-needling can help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots as well as improve skin elasticity, encourages skin rejuvenation and repair. As the skin heals itself, skin collagen levels and elastin are produced and help plump out the skin area.
Dermapen® has delivered proven and reliable results for clients looking to remove skin conditions and issues such as:
- Stretch marks

Most clients will see results almost immediately after treatment, usually in the form of plumper and smoother skin. However, this does differ on a client by client basis – your practitioner will be able to advise on how long your treatment may take. Most patients can see results within 4-6 weeks.

The cost of micro-needling depends on the area of the body being treated and the number of treatments needed.
Like all cosmetic procedures, micro-needling carries some risks. The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see redness for a few days. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to apply sunscreen. it is recommended that you wait one week before exposing your skin to sunlight and harsh chemicals like acids in beauty products. It’s best to let your skin heal before applying makeup.
Micro-needling is not as invasive as plastic surgery and the recovery time is minimal. Most people require very little downtime if any at all.
