Dermapen 4™ is the breakthrough of the decade, utilising the most advanced needle cartridge—this glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin, causing our body’s natural response to trigger a natural process of repair.
Dermapen 4™ is the most advanced microneedling device available and ours is one of the very few centres in the country that have this latest technology.
Dermapen microneedling treatment is recommended for:
- Acne Scars
- Scars on face or body due to trauma or burns etc
- Pigmentation
- Skin ageing like fine lines, wrinkles
- Open pores
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Vampire facial
- In combination with Prp for hair loss
It is a comfortable, practically painless procedure. However, we do apply numbing cream to make your experience even more smooth.
Here is a ready reckoner:
- Rejuvenation: 3-6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
- Acne scarring: 4-6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
- Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
- Pigmentation: 4-6 treatments, 2-4 weeks apart
You will see results after at least 3 sessions. However you will begin to notice a difference even after one session, usually. The results keep on improving over the next year.
Yes, we do advise certain basic topical treatments to complement and enhance the results.
Being a non-invasive rejuvenation procedure, side effects are rare. But, yes, there is mild redness or some swelling for the following 2-3 days so if you are planning on an event then keep a gap of 5-7 days, at least.
We recommend performing the microneedling session on the face prior to the injectable (fillers/botox) treatment. However, if you wish you can keep a gap of two days between the two treatments. This can be discussed with our doctors during consultation.
