Dermapen Skin Needling

Skin needling $269 per treatment for full face OR purchase in a package deal of 3 treatments for $597 ($199 each)

Dermapen 3™ utilises multiple needles to vertically pierce the skin, in doing so Dermapen ™ 3 glides over the skin creating millions of micro punctures. Buy creating these micro punctures in the skin, the body naturally responds by launching processes to repair physical damage. The result is an increased production of collagen, elastin and the body will repair any malformation of cells in the area (e.g. Pigmentation, redness, scar tissue).

Unlike anti-ageing injectables (Botox and fillers) by having skin needling treatments, we are repairing problems within the skin and stimulating a natural process that will therefore provide longer more permanent changes to the skin. As fillers and Botox are foreign to the body, they are usually metabolised by the body within a matter of months.

When comparing Dermapen skin needling treatments to fractional laser treatments there is a similar result, but Dermapen is found to have less side effects and downtime.

When compared to traditional dermal rollers, Dermapen causes less epidermal damage, reducing levels of pain and discomfort. As a result, Dermapen is a more effective micro needling treatment that will provide better results in the skin.

Can areas of the body be treated?

Yes! We perform skin needling on the neck, decolletage, hands, stomach and a variety of areas . We can treat areas of the body affected by scarring, pigmentation, ageing, keratosis pillars, hypo pigmentation and much more.

How long should it take before I see results?

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart). The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended post-treatment care.

Is there any downtime after treatments?

Generally no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Application of a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work.

Is the treatment painful?

For minimum treatment depths, it is uncomfortable but relatively painless. Treatments using depths over 0.5 mm can be more discomforting around the bonier areas especially. Older protocols will recommend using a topical anesthetic, this is no longer recommended. As having a topical anesthetic, vaso-constricts the vessels and causes a different response in the skin, so therefore can cause more harm to the skin during treatment.
