ABOUT DERMAPEN® MICRONEEDLING
Dermapen® skin needling is one of the most innovative rejuvenation therapies available today for treating various skin issues.
It is very natural that as we age the production of the fibroblast cells that stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin diminishes. This results in sagging skin, fine lines, and uneven skintone/texture.
Dermapen® skin needling creates micro-injuries which trigger your skin’s self repair mechanisms. This increases the production of new collagen, also called collagen induction therapy, revealing smoother, firmer and younger looking skin over time.
An added bonus: Microneedling creates 1000’s of tiny ‘channels’ in the skin. These channels are the perfect delivery system to deposit key ingredients (such as growth factors or serums) deep into the dermis for foundational transformation.
