The Dermapen: little pricks, big results
A simple and quick treatment for even, fresh and younger looking skin? Then you can’t beat the Dermapen. This popular and virtually painless microneedling technique stimulates the skin’s natural repair process.
What is the Dermapen?
The Dermapen is the most widely used and advanced microneedling system today. The principle consists of using ultra-fine needles to puncture hundreds of tiny vertical holes (microchannels) in the skin. In this way, the skin is awakened to produce new cells and collagen. This causes the skin to renew itself, making it look more even, fresh and radiant. Moreover, we can get necessary nutrients into the skin more easily through the holes.
Repairing the skin by making wounds, how is that possible?
At first glance, you would think that pricking the skin does not exactly go hand in hand with its healing. And yet it does. It is precisely because microwounds are made with the Dermapen that the skin’s natural healing response is triggered.
It goes like this: the micro-needling treatment releases substances that stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is essential for keeping the skin taut. Since our body begins to produce less collagen itself from the age of 25, the Dermapen can lend a hand in this area.
Applying Vitamin preparations or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the skin further stimulates the skin’s healing process. Microneedling also activates blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This keeps the skin looking young and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
What applications is the Dermapen suitable for?
The common thread in how the Dermapen works is that this treatment puts the skin to work to repair itself. This leads to excellent results for the skin:
- Youthful, fresher skin with softer texture
- Even and smooth appearance
- Even complexion through repulsion of pigmentation spots
- Less wrinkles and fine lines
- Repair of scars (including those caused by acne)
- Reduction of enlarged skin pores
- Treatment of stretch marks (striae)
