Dermapen skin needling also known as microneedling is increasingly being accepted as one of the most innovative rejuvenation therapies available today for keeping your skin looking young and treating various skin problems.

It’s very natural that as we age production of the fibroblast cells that stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin diminishes, which will result in sagging of the skin, appearing of wrinkles, fine lines and loose skin.

It is very important to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin for healthier and younger looking skin and this can be done with the Dermapen skin needling treatment.

Dermapen skin needling will create micro-injuries which will ultimately trigger the growth of fibroblast cells that stimulate the production of collagen resulting in plumper and smoother-looking skin.

Basically, the Dermapen skin needling helps the skin to repair itself after it has encountered any physical damage such as cuts, scars or pigmentation. When an injury occurs, your skin will destroy the old, damaged tissue that causes acne scarring and wrinkles and will replace it with freshly produced collagen. This treatment is compatible for all skin types and tones, and is especially helpful for people who are facing problems such as acne scarring, wrinkling, fine lines, dilated pores and pigmentation.

You might know that Dermapen skin needling treats the full face for skin rejuvenation but it’s not restricted only to the face; it can also treat other areas of the body such as the abdomen, legs, arms, and hands. It can safely treat all forms of scarring such as acne or surgery scars, abdominal scars, stretch marks, burn contracture scars and also loose body skin.

Microneedling treatment can provide drastic results improving the appearances of the scars. The micro needles of the device create new collagen and elastin to be generated and deposited called collagenesis, however the added benefit of new capillary growth is also a result which can improve blood supply to the area which helps create healthier existing skin as well as provide a healthy foundation for the new skin. Microneedling keeps the epidermis integrity full intact while treating the area which quickens healing time and causes less pain.

The challenge of a surgical scar lies within the matrix of all the forms or categories of the scars involving hypertrophic and keloid scars and pigmentation flaws. These scars thicken over time. The device’s unique vertical stamping and depth control up to 2.5mm makes treating scars superior to other methods or rollering. With surgical steel integrity, the robust nature of the automated needle tip (16 needles total and sized at thirty-three gauge) penetrate difficult scar tissue, dramatically improving appearance, texture, elasticity, size and mobility.

Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and prescription retinoids. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies exist to support these claims. Microneedling uses the bodies’ natural solution for unsightly stretch marks. New collagen growth and stimulation is more effective for reducing and fading stretch marks. Microneedling does this through Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).

Microneedling device allows for appropriate treatment needle depth to activate the cascade of fibroblast and growth hormone to generate more skin, collagen and elastin for smooth and healthy coloured skin. The skin of the epidermis effectively thickens and becomes noticeably smoother therefore evening stretch marks is the result.

Microneedling promotes a process of new skin growth through the science of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). The most effective way to stimulate or “Induce” new skin is by micro-needling with the vertical stamping method. This new stimulation can be done quickly and easily while keeping the epidermis intact and down-time to a minimum.
