The Dermapen is a micro-needling technique developed in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine. It is effective in slowing skin aging and visibly improving the quality of the skin.  

Minimally invasive, this treatment involves subcutaneous injections using micro-needles to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.  

This procedure is particularly indicated to correct the skin’s wrinkled appearance, dull complexion, enlarged pores, acne scars, and even stretch marks.

Practical information

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

This procedure makes it possible in particular to address:
* The first signs of skin aging: reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, of pigmentation, combating loss of firmness and enlarged pores
* Acne scars: stimulated, fibroblasts gradually replace scar tissue
* Stretch marks

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

The Dermapen is equipped with a sterile, single-use head that contains 12 to 36 micro-needles. Depending on the selected head model and the desired depth of action (from 0.25 to 3 mm), the treatment will be painless or slightly uncomfortable, and in that case, the application of a numbing cream is possible.

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

Emerging wrinkles are smoothed out, and the face looks visibly younger. In the months following the session, the skin’s structure continues to improve. It is also effective to use microneedling for acne, to erase its scars. Dermapen is also indicated for the treatment of stretch marks.

Dermapen procedure

Dermapen skin treatment is performed without surgery and without anesthesia

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

Depending on the patient’s age, imperfections to correct, and the characteristics of their skin, several sessions may be scheduled.
