Dermapen

See for yourself how safe the DERMAPEN treatment is

DERMAPEN is the most technologically advanced device for fractional microneedling of the skin. Thanks to the pulsating needle system which facilitates the delivery of active substances into the epidermis and the dermis, it offers unparalleled stimulation of fibroblasts to the production of collagen and elastin.


The procedures involving DERMAPEN can be carried out all over the case, neck, cleavage, stomach, thighs, buttocks or head skin. DERMAPEN boosts the regenerative processes of the skin in a natural way. This offers excellent results for patients with flaccid and thin skin where it stimulates the natural processes of new collagen formation. Already after the first procedure the skin is more flexible, firmer and better toned, and after a series of applications, the smaller wrinkles become less visible.


The function of automatic needling included in the DERMAPEN additionally improves the effectiveness of the treatment by increasing the extent to which the active substances pass into the skin, at the same time by minimizing the pain and discomfort.



WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE LOOK LIKE?

The procedure with DERMAPEN lasts for about 30-45 minutes. The skin is anaesthetised using a cream then disinfected thoroughly. The device offers a unique possibility to adjust the depth of the needle penetration depending on the area, indication and the skin thickness. The microneedling ranges between .5mm to 2.5mm in depth, adjustable even during the procedure. This way, after covering the skin with the appropriate mixture of vitamins and peptides, the doctor performs several passes with the Dermapen to cover the skin as thoroughly as possible.

During the procedure, the skin becomes uniformly red, some local bleeding can occur.

Despite a deep penetration of up to 2.5mm bruises and haematomas do not occur. Directly after the procedure the patient feels heat and a slight stinging sensation. We recommend using the IPLase mask which, thanks to its properties of healing acceleration, will ease the reddening and the swelling without inhibiting the inflammation state. The IPLase mask additionally contains the activators of thermal shock proteins which make the skin cool down naturally and eases the skin irritated by the procedure.

The next day the skin may be pink and tense as if after a slight sunburn.

After 3-4 days there may be slight peeling of the skin.

After 5-7 days you can enjoy the full effects of the DERMAPEN therapy.
