How Dermapen Micro-needling Works
In this blog, we take a look at how dermapen micro-needling works, ask who is suitable for the procedure, and answer frequently asked questions about the treatment.
Dermapen, commonly know as the “Microneedling Pen” is a medical specialty that involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals and vitamins directly in to the middle layer of skin leaving the skin with an immediate glow.
The dermapen micro-needling treatment is able to achieve skin which is tighter, brighter and refreshed. Dermapen is now favoured by cosmetic experts around the world, after having proved its efficiency and effectiveness, as well as flexibility in how it is used.
Micro Needling is derived from ancient acupuncture and mesotherapy. During the treatment the pen gently glides over the skin, tiny punctures are created within the epidermis and dermis that encourage the skin’s own natural healing response, leading to the production of collagen and elastin.
Disposable needles are used for each treatment to eliminate the risk of contamination and the the adjustable needle depths allow for treatment to be tailored to the specific needs of the individual. This portable device perfectly corrects face and body beauty imperfections. Vertical operation of 12 microneedles, automatically driven strictly to the specified depth, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis and multiplies effect of active components of beauty care products allowing significantly improve condition and appearance of skin and is ideal for younger patients who want to prevent wrinkles all together.
Benefits of Dermapen Treatments
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin diminishes, which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin. The Dermapen treatment promotes a process of new skin growth through the science of Collagen Induction Therapy and this is the most effective way to stimulate new skin safely and effectively.
Acne and Surgical Scars
This treatment improves the appearance of atrophic acne scars and surgical scars. The micro needles of the Dermapen help to naturally stimulate new collagen production in the area of the scar. The physical nature of skin needling breaks up fibrous and uneven scar tissue and stimulates the growth of new tissue which results in a smoother and more even skin surface all while slowing the onset of wrinkles. Also, there is the added benefit of new capillary growth which improves the blood supply to the area, providing a healthy foundation for the new skin.
Skin Rejuvenation
Micro needling treatments not only target specific imperfections but also provide an overall rejuvenation of the skin. The needling process improves micro-circulation in conjunction with collagen and elastin formation beneath the skin to thicken the dermis, reducing wrinkles. You will notice improved skin texture, more even skin tone and an overall brightness to your skin. Undergoing a series of Micro needling treatments will not only provide visible results to the entire appearance of your skin, but it will slow down the signs of aging.
Minimize Pores
Derma pen treatment will result in a more refined appearance of the pores. The Micro Needling treatments stimulate collagen and elastin which results in firming of the skin thereby reducing the appearance of large pores.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a form of scarring on the skin. They are caused by tearing of the dermis, and over time can diminish, but will not disappear completely. The Dermapen treatment offers a progressive and natural solution to stretch marks. The treatment stimulates healthy collagen and elastin production in the deeper skin layer to repair the damaged areas with the release of growth factors and stimulation of fibroblasts. Everyone will experience improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks with the Dermapen, but results are individual and depend on the severity, age and extent of the stretch marks. Early red stretch marks will show the most improvement.

What is micro-needling?
This procedure is minimally-invasive, non-surgical skin rejuvenating technique that uses the dermapen micro needling , an automated medical device that contains multiple fine needles, to create microchannels in the skin for increased stimulation of circulation and natural collagen production in the treated area. This newly created collagen provides the skin with additional support and helps to improve the overall health and quality of the skin. This dermapen micro needling treatment helps tighten skin, improve scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and aids the absorption of topical skin care products.
Benefits of Micro-needling:
Stimulates collagen production
Safe for most skin types
Treats fine lines
Improves skin texture
Reduces the appearance of large pores
Enhances the effects of topical skin care products
Stimulates circulation

How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatment sessions needed in order to achieve optimal results can vary from patient to patient depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals and the condition being treated. We typically recommend a series of three to six treatment sessions spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. Some patients may benefit from a single micro-needling treatment schedule once or twice a year to improve the health of the skin and enhance regular skincare regimen.
Common treatment areas:
Face
Neck
Décolleté
Abdomen
Arms
Hands
Legs

Some patients may experience some temporary side effects, including facial redness and tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects are typically mild and generally subside on its own within three to five days of a treatment session.
What is dermapen micro-needling?
Dermapen micro-needling uses a small dermatology treatment device (the dermapen), for a micro-needling procedure which has the capability to effectively address skin problems such as ageing, fine lines, stretch marks and acne scars.
The dermapen derives its name from the word ‘dermatology’ and a ‘pen’, which it resembles in appearance. The dermapen micro-needling treatment is able to achieve skin which is tighter, brighter and refreshed. Dermapen is now favoured by cosmetic experts around the world, after having proved its efficiency and effectiveness, as well as flexibility in how it is used.
In this blog, we take a look at how dermapen micro-needling works, ask who is suitable for the procedure, and answer frequently asked questions about the treatment.
How does dermapen micro-needling work?
Like traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy, dermapen micro-needling works by puncturing the top layer of skin to promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, the aim of micro-needling is to improve the appearance of skin, rather than reduce any pain.
A dermapen consists of 12 needles which are used to pierce the skin. The pen is held vertically over the skin and once the pen is in the right position, a small motor will be turned on inside the pen which causes the needles to penetrate the skin by moving back and forth rapidly. Due to their special design, the needles slightly rotate and effectively open up pores and puncture the top layer of skin.
It is important that the pen pierces the skin as this is what triggers skin rejuvenation. When an individual cuts or hurts themselves, the skin will repair itself by generating collagen and elastin, which stimulates growth. Applying this same principle to dermapen micro-needling, the skin will increase elastin and collagen production to treat the pierced skin. To a certain extent, micro-needling tricks the skin into healing itself, leaving the skin refreshed and rejuvenated.
What is dermapen micro-needling able to treat?
Dermapen micro-needling is most commonly used on the face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles but can also be used to treat common skin problems such as stretch marks and scars on different areas of the body. Let’s take a look at some of the possible reasons to get a dermapen treatment:
• To reduce the appearance of a scar: After the skin heals a wound and forms a scar, the body acts as though the area has been returned to normal. Dermapen micro-needling can puncture the scar tissue and stimulate the skin to replace the damaged skin with new, unscarred skin.
• To reduce the appearance of stretch marks: Like scarring, the body does not treat stretch marks as something that needs to be healed. Dermapen micro-needling over stretch marks can initiate healing and promote the growth of new skin.
• To minimise fine lines and wrinkles: The elastin and collagen induction, caused by wounding the skin with a dermapen causes skin to tighten and thicken, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermapen micro-needling can, therefore, be considered an anti-aging treatment.
What are the benefits of dermapen micro-needling?
Aside from its anti-aging and scar reducing benefits, dermapen micro-needling has many other benefits including:
• Minimizing enlarged pores
• Tightening the skin
• Treating hair loss problems such as alopecia
• Helps the skin to absorb products more efficiently, ensuring the most benefits can be received from skin care products
Who is an ideal candidate for dermapen micro-needling?
Dermapen micro-needling is a minimally invasive treatment and therefore is considered suitable for most people, providing they are in good general health. However, individuals on acne medication should consult with their GP to check the treatment is suitable for them. Pregnant women are similarly advised not to receive dermapen treatment.
Dermapen micro-needling has no severe side effects and is therefore suitable for individuals who wish to maintain their busy lifestyle. After the treatment, some mild bruising may occur and it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight for a week and wearing suncream is advised. After three days any bruises or redness should fade.

Safer and more effective in piercing the skin than traditional skin needling rollers
Has a superior effect on collagen and elastin rejuvenation
Multi-speed and adjustable needle depth
Highest effectiveness
Effectively treat hard-to-reach places

PRP + DermaPen Micro-needling is used for Collagen Induction Therapy
PRP is placed on top of the skin and DermaPen micro-needling rejuvenates and regenerates larger areas (fine wrinkles, under eye circles, forehead, hands, chest, and skin pigment problems). Micro-needling is a new way to make collagen. Dermapen disperses PRP into the Epidermis and Dermis which allows for a larger coverage area. PRP + DermaPen is unique, safe, and no other anti-aging procedure offers an entire face regenerative approach with ONE VISIT.
Ideal applications:
1. Entire face including Under Eye areas such as Dark Circles
PRP with Dermapen treats dark circles and pigment changes. Fillers and even expensive face lifts are less effective. The skin changes under the sensitive eye areas are due to thinning of collagen. It is dangerous to inject manufactured fillers in those areas. Adverse reactions such as blindness, bluish skin, lumps, sinus damage, and even brain infections may result.
2. Pigment and Skin Discoloration for Face and Entire Body
3. Scarring
4. All Over Glow
5. Chest and Neck Wrinkles, Pigment Changes, and Fine Wrinkles
The process called Collagen Induction Therapy is used to improve:
• Texture and tone
• Surface scarring
• Fine wrinkles
Not all micro-needling devices are equal. Some are dangerous and others are ineffective. Doctors still continue to use Eclipse Micropen. Eclipse Micropen was pulled off the market in 2016 after the concern of Eclipse damaging vessels and nerves. It’s not longer allows to be sold in the US!

Vampire Facial – PRP with Microneedling using Dermapen
The addition of PRP essentially supercharges the healing and collagen production process. After DermaPen has made microchannels, Dr. Anderson applies the PRP, which has been drawn from your own blood and centrifuged prior to the procedure. The combination of micro needling and PRP stimulates new collagen, increase blood flow, decrease scars, refine pores, decrease pigment irregularity, and give a healthy glow.
Face Lift – Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) PRP Dermal Fillers “Vampire Face Lift”
PRP cellular Fibrin Matrix with Growth Factors provides blood flow stimulators to the injured area and stem cells are injected into scar tissue to rebuild collagen, break down adhesions, and increase circulation to injured area which promotes healing.
Regenerate and restore! All natural, safer alternative to other fillers. The Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix “Vampire Facelift” technique is your body’s dermal filler rich with skin growth factors and stem cells.The PRP dermal filler is developed from the patient’s own blood on the day of the procedure and is injected IN THE SAME TECHNIQUE as manufactured fillers into the problem areas. The PRP filler repairs and regenerates skin laxity, wrinkles, uneven pigment, scars which manufactured fillers do not do. PRP contains growth factors for fibroblasts (skin), vascular endothelial (blood supply), epidermal (skin), and stem cells (tissue making cells). This stimulates skin to regenerate. PRP is from your own body, so rejection is almost nil. PRP has a smooth consistency, no lumpiness, no formulation of hard granulomas, no blue blobs on skin, no migration of hard substance on face, no blocking arteries and no causing of a stroke.
Traditional fillers can cause the following: lumps (common), Tyndall effect (blue discoloration skin), rejection, allergic reaction, blindness, migration of filler causing deformities, granulomas. The benefits of fillers last a few months. When there are problems with fillers, it may be irreversible.

Why do PRP Face Lift with Fibrin Matrix?
A PRP treatment for facelift is a good option for individuals who want to fill in wrinkles as well as sunken parts of the face or add volume without the use of artificial fillers. PRP facelift technology is known also as Selphyl. It is used for glabellar lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smile lines, forehead lines and vertical lip lines “smokers lines”.
Why Choose PRP FaceLift or PRP + DermaPen over Surgical Facelift?
Facelift Surgical $6,000-$15,000; PRP averages around $1000/procedure.
Surgery – Down Time 1-2 weeks. PRP can go to work same day.
Surgery Pain High. PRP Minimal.
Additional costs including surgery suite, anesthesia, overnight hospital stay, and a required driver are added costs and inconveniences in comparison to the minimally invasive PRP procedures.
Facelift surgical risks include infection, disfigurement, nerve damage, permanent hair loss, skin flap necrosis, parotid gland pseudocyst, significant pain, risk of rejection and other wound healing problems.
Surgical Facelife vs. PRP, What does it Treat?
Dark Circles – Surgical – NO! PRP – YES!
Skin Discoloration – Surgery Causes Scars – NO! PRP – YES!
Skin Discoloration Surgery – NO! PRP – YES!
Contraindications to Procedures
Heavy Smokers, alcoholics, people with poor nutrition may have limited benefit. Individuals with sepsis, platelet problems, chemotherapy (cancer), severe liver problems, HIV, and hepatitis are not a candidate. Dr. Anderson will determine whether or not it’s a safe therapy for an individual. It is thus extremely important that you fully disclose all of their medical conditions so she can make a safe recommendation regarding treatment.
How many Treatments?
PRP Increases collagen production, decreases pigment irregularity, decreases or eliminates dark circles, fills in wrinkles by producing collagen and increasing blood supply. Makes healthier tissue from inside out. Many people who opt to undergo PRP therapy may require between two and three treatments. The amount of treatments depend on the original damage to the tissue, area of treatment, and desired outcome. The results from a PRP procedure have a longer lasting effect and promote healing the safe and natural way. Individuals interested in getting multiple injections can do so safely and as often as needed.
