Microneedling
The mere sound of the word 'needle' often sparks fear in people believing that it's going to be an invasive, bloody and painful treatment (it's nothing remotely similar to the Kim K Vampire facial, honestly!)
This treatment is ideal for various skin conditions such as ageing (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne, surgical), and hyperpigmentation.
To help you better understand what to expect, below all the answers to the frequently asked questions about this amazing treatment.
-
HOW IT WORKS?The pen is glided over the skin and microscopic channels are lightly stamped into the skins matrix stimulating a wound healing response with intense renewal repair and rejuvenation. Natural growth factors are released to stimulate reformation and deposition of fresh, restricting collagen. It offers unparalleled collagen induction therapy by harnessing the body's innate ability to re-grow and repair the skin where a series of needles penetrate the skin causing thousands of micro injuries at a vertical angle. It promotes scar less healing and natural collagen reproduction, similar to fractional laser treatments, IPL or chemical peel treatment, but without the side effects and downtime. Dermapen can effectively treat hard-to-reach places like around the eyes, nose and lips.

-
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?Depending on the depth of the treatment the downtime can vary from no downtime to 3-5 days downtime. Our clients can expect some redness and swelling especially if their skin is sensitive or if we perform a very aggressive treatment. This can last anything from 2-5 days, once again depending on the depth of the treatment.
