Dermapen
Dermapen comes from the words dermatology and pen. It is a facial treatment that uses a small pen-like device (dermapen) to perform a micro-needling procedure that is able to effectively treat skin problems, such as aging, fine lines, stretch marks, and acne scars.
Dermapen works by inserting segmented microneedles into the skin. This causes micro-injuries to the outer and inner layers of the skin. As a result, the body is triggered to produce a natural healing response that causes the skin to rejuvenate itself. This treatment can make the skin firmer, brighter, and fresher.
Purpose of Dermapen
The main purpose of Dermapen is to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face. That is why Dermapen can also be considered an anti-aging treatment. However, this beauty treatment can also be used to treat common skin problems, such as stretch marks and scars in various areas of the body.
Here are some of the goals of Dermapen treatment:
-
Disguise fine lines and wrinkles
Dermapen creates micro-injuries in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing response. When collagen and elastin are stimulated through this healing response, the skin will appear fresh and firm, which will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Reduce scars (acne)
To reduce scars, Dermapen uses the same principle as it does to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. By triggering the body’s natural healing response, new cells are created and stimulated. This rejuvenates scar tissue, especially acne scars, and encourages them to heal with a smoother, more even appearance.
-
Shrinks large pores and evens out skin texture
Micro-needling is a great method for reducing overall pore size. As the thin micro-needles penetrate the skin, it activates healing production that creates a smoother, firmer appearance and reduces the signs of enlarged pores.
Benefits of Dermapen
Here are the benefits of Dermapen for skin beauty:
- Makes the face look youthful.
- Overcoming scars that can reduce appearance and self-confidence.
- Helps facial skin absorb products more efficiently, so that maximum benefits can be obtained from the skin care products.
When to Get Dermapen?
If you have skin problems, such as fine lines and wrinkles on your face, acne scars or wounds, stretch marks, or large pores, Dermapen could be one of the treatment options you should consider.
Dermapen Procedure
Similar to traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy, Dermapen micro-needling works by inserting fine needles into the top layer of the skin to promote healing. However, unlike acupuncture, which is useful for reducing pain, the goal of Dermapen micro-needling is to improve the appearance of the skin.
Dermapen has 12 small needles on the top of the tip. The pen is held vertically above the skin and once the pen is in the right position, a small motor is turned on inside the pen. After that the needles will penetrate the skin by moving back and forth quickly.
But don’t panic; Dermapen is designed in such a way that it is good for the skin. The procedure will not cause as much skin trauma as, for example, piercing your own skin with a regular needle. Dermapen needles are also specially designed so they can rotate slightly and effectively open the pores and pierce the top layer of the skin.
The method of piercing the skin with needles is important in this treatment, because that is what triggers skin rejuvenation. When the skin is injured, it will repair itself by producing collagen and elastin, which stimulate the growth of new skin. With this principle, Dermapen can increase the production of elastin and collagen which will make the skin look fresher and younger.
