DERMAPEN MICRONEEDLING
Medical micro-needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles causing microtrauma to the skin. The purpose of this is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer and more toned skin. It is the gold standard treatment for acne scarring and large pores. A topical local anaesthetic cream can be applied to make the treatment more comfortable.
Microneedling can significantly increase collagen and elastin production by 400% after 6 months of treatment. Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing response, which involves the production of collagen and elastin. The micro injuries promote the release of growth factors that further enhance collagen and elastin synthesis, leading to long-term improvement in the skin texture, improving fine lines and wrinkles.

ACNE SCARRING
Dermapen microneedling helps fade acne scars by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which boosts collagen and elastin production. This gradually smooths out uneven texture and softens indented scars, leading to clearer, more even-looking skin over time.
OTHER BENEFITS
Aside from treating acne scars, Dermapen microneedling can improve fine lines, large pores, pigmentation, and overall skin texture. It’s a great all-round treatment for brighter, firmer, and healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.
ADD ON EXOSOMES
By adding Exosomes on to your microneedling treatment these can have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, helping calm irritate skin and protect against environmental damage. Exosomes are incredibly well tolerated, making them an excellent choice as an add on treatment to microneedling, delivering growth factors to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin and promoting overall good skin health.
