Dermapen treatments are popular and innovative anti-aging and scar correction procedures designed to rejuvenate the skin making it look smoother and more youthful. Currently the world’s most advanced skin needling technology, in comparison to other skin rejuvenating procedures Dermapen is relatively non-invasive, painless, and inexpensive, giving you fresh and fabulous new-looking skin.

As the name suggests, the Dermapen is a small, pen-like tool which delivers multiple tiny punctures to the skin. While it’s small in stature the Dermapen is big on results, proving to be an effective treatment for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, treating acne scars, improving skin texture, minimising pores, and providing an overall rejuvenation of the skin.

But don’t worry if you are needle-phobic, you won’t need to see the microscopic needles contained within the Dermapen – and they’re so tiny.

The Dermapen device uses many vibrating, fine needles that create multiple micro-channels in the skin. Suitable for all skin types, the Dermapen works at a precise needle depth, rapidly penetrating the skin to produce tiny micro punctures. This technique stimulates the skin’s natural healing process to produce the two proteins needed for supple, smooth, and youthful skin – collagen and elastin.

While we sometimes endure pain for the sake of beauty (hmm, waxing springs to mind!) the good news is that Dermapen anti-ageing treatments cause minimal pain procedures. Numbing cream may be used for many skin treatments but the vibrating effect of the Dermapen interrupts the pain receptors in the skin which means numbing cream isn’t necessary. How clever is that! In fact, Clear Skincare Clinic clients find the Dermapen micro-needling process quite comfortable.

That is partly because the Dermapen isn’t rolled or dragged across the skin like a dermal roller, so the tiny punctures are cleaner, more direct, and less painful without that dragging or tearing sensation of the needles rolling across the skin.

The Dermapen treatment is a natural, mechanical process which works effectively without the use of chemicals.

The side effects post-treatment are minor and may include slight swelling and discomfort, redness or minor flaking of the skin. Slight bruising is possible in people with sensitive skin prone to bruising easily.

We all heal at different rates, but generally, you should see the effectiveness of the Dermapen beginning to work as your skin starts to heal within four to seven days post-treatment. Within four to six weeks you are ready for your next session where the positive results will become cumulative.

In the weeks post-treatment, Puravida Beauty clients report a glam new look with noticeably smoother, younger-looking, rejuvenated skin.

Skin needling stimulates the production of collagen, it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as improves skin sagging and refines pores. Acne scarring will benefit from micro needling, as will your overall skin texture Skin needling is a derma roller procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Micro needling is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores.

Due to its amazing technology, unlike other Meso Needling pens the Dermapen does not require skin numbing prior to treatments. When you have a Dermapen treatment, your experience will likely be less painful (if you feel any pain at all). Because the needles are not angled and enter the skin at a perfect 90-degree angle, there is no pain associated with the rolling action of the dermal roller.

Treatments can be repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results. We recommend starting with 3 treatments. For scar reduction an average of 3 to 6 treatments are recommended. Results can be seen from one to eight weeks after treatment. Typically, you will see results after your first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4-6 treatments.

Dermapen Skin Needling is safe for all skin types. Skin needling does not contain any harsh chemicals or ingredients that skin may react to, rather is stimulating the skin’s natural healing process through collagen induction therapy which is both safe and effective for every skin type.

Directly after a treatment your skin will appear flushed, with slight redness and possible mild swelling in treated skin areas. Depending on the intensity of the treatment you may experience light flaking. Majority of the redness should subside within 24 hours and skin will be totally headed within 2-5 days. This amazing treatment has virtually no downtime.

Maximise your Dermapen Skin Needling results by combining an RF Radio Frequency treatment. This combination simultaneously treats the skin’s surface as well as the deeper layers of the skin to tighten skin and improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin elasticity, thinning skin, and facial acne scarring. We use Radio Frequency and Dermapen Skin Needling to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and generate new skin cells. As a result, the skin’s texture is improved, skin layer are repaired and tissues are lifted and strengthened. If your skin is scarred, wrinkled, sagging or pigmented, RF and Dermapen Skin Needling may be the perfect treatment for you.

Skin needling or micro needling and radio frequency are both treatments that are normally performed individually to induce new collagen to improve the skin. We recommend combining both together in a single treatment to synergise their effects on the skin. Skin needling is used to create thousands of micro-injuries to the skin. This mechanically induces the production of new collagen in the skin by creating a small injury to the skin that the skin repairs by producing more collagen.

Radio frequency RF treatments generate heat in the skin to produce new collagen. Research has shown that heating the skin can cause collagen fibers to shrink and tighten immediately. When heated to 40 degrees the body’s wound healing process is stimulated to further generate more collagen and elastin.

While the years and the elements take a toll on our skin and we naturally produce less collagen as we age, Dermapen treatments are a chemical-free way to roll back the clock. As the fine needles stimulate the Dermapen stimulates the epidermal layers of the skin where collagen and elastin are produced, the Dermapen is a more penetrative treatment for treating scarring, fine lines and wrinkles than skincare creams which treat the outer layers of the skin. It is less invasive and far more affordable than other types of scar revision treatments, and the recovery time is brief – because who wants to hide for days on end?

One of the additional perks of the Dermapen treatment is that your renewed skin is better able to absorb the nutrients from your skincare products, so serums, eye creams, moisturisers and masks are working more efficiently and become more cost-effective.

When you consider that anti-ageing, scar-correcting Dermapen treatments result in multiple benefits and visible improvements to a number of skin conditions for a fraction of the cost of some alternatives, it is definitely worth it.
