What are the most common conditions that can be treated with microneedling?
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines, and wrinkles are one of the most visible signs of aging, and they can often be a source of frustration for people who are trying to maintain a youthful appearance. There are a number of factors that contribute to their formation, including sun damage, smoking, and dehydration. However, the primary cause of wrinkles is the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. As we age, our bodies produce less and less of these important proteins, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
Acne Scars
Acne scars form when acne lesions penetrate deep into the skin and damage the tissue beneath. The body then responds by creating new collagen fibers to heal the area. However, these new fibers are often weaker than the surrounding tissue, resulting in a scar. While acne scars are not harmful to your health, they can be distracting and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are markings that commonly appear on the skin during periods of rapid growth or change. They are most often seen during pregnancy, puberty, or weight gain/loss. They also typically appear as reddish or purplish lines in the skin, and can occur anywhere on the body, however, they are most common on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, and thighs. Stretch marks are not harmful, but some people may find them to be cosmetically undesirable.

How does microneedling work?
The microneedles in the Dermapen device create tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin fibers, which can help to improve the appearance of skin concerns. In addition, the Dermapen can also help to improve the absorption of topical treatments, making them more effective.
Why is Dermapen superior to other devices?
The Dermapen microneedles are much thinner than those of other microneedling devices, which allows them to penetrate the skin more deeply. This results in a more effective treatment and can help to improve the appearance of deeper wrinkles and scars. In addition, the Dermapen is less likely to cause bruising or swelling than other devices, and has a shorter recovery time.
What should I expect during and after the procedure?
During the procedure, you will likely feel some discomfort as the microneedles penetrate your skin. However, we minimize that by applying a numbing cream beforehand. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, but this should subside within a few hours. You may also experience some dryness, flaking, or crusting of the skin, but this is normal and will go away on its own. It is important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen after the treatment to protect your skin.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of microneedling treatments you will need depends on your individual goals and the severity of your skin concerns. For best results, most people require a series of microneedling treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
