The Dermapen is a microneedling technique developed in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine. It is effective in delaying skin aging and visibly improving skin quality. 

This minimally invasive treatment involves subcutaneous injections using micro-needles to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. 

This procedure is particularly suitable for correcting the crepey appearance of the skin, dull complexion, enlarged pores, acne scars or stretch marks.

Practical information

Using a Dermapen visibly improves skin quality (texture, suppleness, radiance).

This procedure is particularly effective in addressing:
* The first signs of skin aging: reducing wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation, and combating sagging and enlarged pores
* Acne scars: stimulated fibroblasts gradually replace scar tissue
* Stretch marks

In practice, the Dermapen is based on the principle of micropuncture. This technique consists of performing micro-injections under the skin using an electric pen equipped with various micro-needles. 

The Dermapen is equipped with a sterile, single-use head containing 12 to 36 microneedles. Depending on the head model chosen and the desired depth of penetration (from 0.25 to 3 mm), the treatment will be painless or slightly uncomfortable; in the latter case, an anesthetic cream can be applied.

The injections stimulate fibroblast cells, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin fibers, the two proteins that give skin firmness, elasticity, and suppleness. The benefits of Dermapen sessions can be seen quickly.

Emerging wrinkles are diminished, and the face appears visibly younger. In the months following the session, the skin's structure continues to improve. Microneedling is also effective for treating acne and reducing acne scars. The Dermapen is also indicated for treating stretch marks.

Procedure for the Dermapen intervention

Dermapen skin treatment is performed without surgery or anesthesia

After the session, the face may show redness that can last up to 48 hours

Depending on the patient's age, the imperfections to be corrected, and the characteristics of their skin, several sessions may be planned.
