Dermapen Microneedling

Fractional skin regeneration for visible quality improvement.

Dermapen Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that sits between classic facials and injectable procedures.

It is often described as a form of fractional mesotherapy,
designed to improve overall skin quality, stimulate regeneration, and effectively treat scars — especially post-acne scarring.

Controlled micro-injury for powerful repair

How Dermapen Microneedling works

Dermapen is a medical microneedling device equipped with a disposable sterile cartridge containing ultra-fine medical-grade needles. During the procedure:

This dual mechanism — mechanical stimulation + targeted mesotherapy — significantly enhances skin regeneration. Dermapen Microneedling is safe and effective for face, neck, décolleté, periorbital area, nose, lips, and even earlobes.

The mesotherapy cocktail is selected individually based on skin condition and treatment goals. Common combinations include formulas with amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and polynucleotides. Dermapen also combines exceptionally well with IPL, enhancing skin tone, brightness, and texture.

Microneedling essentials

Is there downtime after Dermapen?

Yes, mild downtime is expected. Redness immediately after the procedure is normal and a positive sign of increased circulation and skin activation. It typically subsides within 2–3 hours. Significant swelling is uncommon.

Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

No. We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to recover and prevent irritation.

Is the procedure painful?

The treatment is very well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and many patients find it so comfortable that they relax or even fall asleep.

Can Dermapen be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Dermapen works exceptionally well with Skin boosters, Injectable mesotherapy, Polynucleotides, IPL phototherapy. In many protocols, microneedling is performed first, followed by injectable treatments to significantly enhance results.

Is Dermapen suitable for acne scars?

Yes. Dermapen is one of the most effective treatments for post-acne scars, especially when combined with regenerative injectables as part of a comprehensive plan.
