Dermapen Microneedling for Acne & Acne Scarring

Dermapen is a technique which uses the principle of ‘microneedling’ – creating tiny little injuries to the skin with multiple tiny pin pricks. 

The Dermapen device delivers precisely controlled microneedling to penetrate the surface of the skin with a series of tiny marks. The needling is shallow enough to cause very little visible injury, yet the series of tiny little injuries work to kick-start the skin’s healing mechanisms. In addition, the needling creates a series of channels to the skin’s mid layer so that serums or lotions can reach the deeper layers of the skin, which would not normally be possible.

Dermapen for Acne and Acne Scarring

  • Promotes healing
  • Leaves skin healthier and more radiant
  • Stimulates production of collagen and elastin within the skin, making it smoother, firmer and thicker over time

Skin looks fresher within 6 weeks but will continue to improve for 6-12 months.
