INSTANTLY RADIANT SKIN
SKIN NEEDLING
Skin needling utilises multiple needles to, vertically pierce the skin, with patent-pending AOVN” (Advanced Oscillating Vertical Needle) technology. Dermapen 3 glides over the skin creating millions of fine channels. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients, encouraging transdermal delivery of these nutrients deeper into the skin, to feed cells in the dermis and basal layer of the epidermis. Skin needling systematically creates micro-puncture in the skin and the body naturally responds by launching processes to repair the physical damage. The result is an increased production of normal woven collagen, similar to fractional laser treatments, but without the side effects and downtime. Skin needling treatments have also been found to be more effective and beneficial than most microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

How should I prepare my skin for a Dermapen Treatment?
Dermapen 3 systematically creates micro-punctures in the skin and the body naturally responds by launching processes to repair the physical damage. The result is an increased production of normal woven collagen, similar to fractional laser treatments, but without the side effects and downtime. Dermapen Treatments have also been found to be more effective and beneficial than most microdermabrasion and chemical peels. For optimal results, an appropriate regime of DP Dermaceuticals should be determined by your clinician, to encourage the skin to strengthen (especially for thin or delicate skin areas). Continue to use DP Dermaceuticals recommended by your clinician after the treatments for a period of 6 weeks. The DP Dermaceuticals range is suitable for ongoing homecare.
How long should it take before I see results?
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart). The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended post-treatment care.
Is the treatment painful?
For minimal needle depths, Dermapen™ Treatments are relatively painless. Treatments using depths over 0.5mm may require a topical anesthetic cream to be applied for 15-40 minutes before the procedure. This will render the treatments virtually pain-free.
Is there any downtime after treatments?
Generally no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Application of a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work.
How soon after filler/muscle relaxant injections can I have a Dermapen" Treatment?
While there is no clinical evidence that Dermapen Treatments counteract with any particular injectables, it is important to let your clinician know if you have had an injectable treatment, or are planning on having one done in the near future. Your clinician will be able to advise you on when to schedule your treatment appropriately.
