Dermapen4 Skin Needling

Skin needling is a process of pricking the skin’s surface with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein made naturally in the body and plays an essential role in the skin structure. Yet, natural collagen production diminishes with age. Skin Needling treatments stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and skin-plumping elastin, while inducing a wound-healing response, bringing back that more youthful appearance. Skin has a self-rejuvenating function that is capable of significantly reducing blemishes caused by acne, trauma, pigmentation and a range of other ailments. Micro-Needling activates this process by causing tiny punctures across the treated area. As skin heals, it produces collagen which forms a new layer of fresh tissue, creating a more youthful appearance on the surface and fighting antibodies beneath.

Dermapen technology has significant benefits over dermal-rolling and Fractional laser treatments, due to the minimal trauma inflicted upon skin. This allows skin to spend more effort fighting the ailment itself, rather than collateral damage inflicted during the procedure itself.  We stand by the Dermapen 4 micro-needling system for all of our skin needling treatments and skin rejuvenation. 

Treat Skin Concerns with Dermapen Skin Needling

Skin needling treatments induce a wound healing response in the skin, making them effective at skin rejuvenation and reducing and dealing with a wide range of skin concerns on the face and body.

Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Skin Elasticity

Minimise those crow’s feet, laugh lines, frown lines, drooping, and creased skin concerns with micro-needling. As fine lines and wrinkles are often caused by reduced collagen and elastin levels, skin needling treatments can initiate the skin to produce these plumping proteins at higher, more youthful rates again. The result is smoother, firmer, tauter skin for a more youthful appearance.

An additional benefit of skin needling is the improvement of microchannels that allow topical treatments to penetrate the skin more easily. Talk to us about combining topical skin treatments with skin needling during your free consultation.

Under-Eye Circles

Minimise that tired, malnourished look from dark under-eye circles with skin needling. The skin around the eyes is thin, and when excess blood pools in the area, it becomes easily visible, causing dark circles. Micro-needling promotes the skin to heal thicker, filling the circles under your eyes and reducing the dark appearance.

Elastin production is also improved, improving sagging skin, smoothing lines, further reducing that tired look so that you look more rested and fresh-faced.

Scarring and Stretch Marks

Scarring is caused by trauma to the skin. The sad fact is that many of us have scars from acne, injuries or surgeries. While they tell a part of our story, we don’t need to keep them for life. Skin needling can speed up the scar healing process, helping you move forward without the physical reminders.

Skin needling can help minimise:

• Acne scars – reducing pigmentation and smoothing indentations

• Surgical scarring – the Dermapen 4 penetrates up to 3 mm to target deep layers of scarring from surgical cuts

• Burn contracture – damage from burnt skin contracting and splitting, causing a matrix of scarring that benefits from increased collagen and elastin production

• Stretch marks/striae – matrix scarring from skin separating that benefits from increased collagen and elastin production

Just like the skin needling benefits for other skin concerns, micro-needling induces a wound-healing process that promotes collagen and elastin production. These proteins can aid in smoothing the scar’s surface and reducing discolouration more quickly.

Pigmentation, Sun and Age Spots

Skin pigmentation is not uncommon across men and women of all ages. The uneven production of melanin results in spots and marks on the skin and may have many causes, including sun exposure, some medications, and aging.

Skin needling benefits the appearance of:

• Melasma

• Hypopigmentation Vitiligo

• Seborrheic dermatitis

• Alopecia

• Hyperpigmentation

Micro-needling is a safe, cost-effective and non-invasive way of reducing skin discolouration, talk to us about your options during your free initial consultation.

  

Rosacea

Rosacea is a common condition, affecting both men and women with redness and visible blood vessels in the face. Skin needling treatments can assist in the healing of rosacea. By inducing a wound healing process, blood flow in the area is improved, allowing the blood vessels to contract.

Skin needling also promotes collagen and elastin production, supporting more robust blood vessels with better elasticity and firmer, more toned skin, reducing veins’ visibility.

Congested Skin & Enlarged Pores

Acne, blemishes and enlarged pores can be hard to cope with, and you may even think you’re stuck with them forever. Yet, skin needling can be very effective at minimising these skin issues on the face, chest, back and other areas.

The Dermapen 4 stimulates collagen production, which plumps the skin and makes pores appear smaller. Smaller pores may be less prone to getting clogged with sebum and dirt, contributing to acne and blackheads. While one treatment offers benefits, regular skin needling sessions can positively impact overall skin tone, shrink pores’ appearance, and reduce breakouts and acne pigmentation.
