What is Dermapen Skin Needling?

Dermapen Skin Needling is a cutting-edge treatment that induces controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating a cascade of healing responses. These micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin production, essential for smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. This procedure is highly effective for all skin types, particularly acne scars, enlarged pores, and moderate to severe wrinkles.

Why Choose Dermapen?

Targeting Common Skin Concerns

Dermapen Skin Needling is versatile, addressing a wide range of skin issues, including:

Optimising Treatment for Acne Scars and Wrinkles

At Skin Renewal, we utilise Dermapen to tackle more challenging skin issues, such as deep acne scars, ingrained wrinkles, and enlarged pores. However, it's important to note that Dermapen is not recommended for keloid scars or active inflammatory conditions.

Enhance Results with Combination Treatments

Dermapen Skin Needling can be combined with other non-invasive treatments such as Laser Genesis™, dermal fillers and superficial peels for those looking to maximise their skin rejuvenation efforts. These combined approaches address various signs of ageing, including dull complexion, pigmentation, and sagging skin, providing superior and long-lasting results.

Experience the Benefits of Dermapen Skin Needling

Dermapen Skin Needling is most effective when started early, offering a proactive approach to skin rejuvenation. Whether you're targeting fine lines, scars, or overall skin texture, this advanced treatment delivers visible improvements within days, with the best results continuing to develop over several months.

Take the first step toward smoother, firmer skin with Dermapen Skin Needling. Contact Skin Renewal today to schedule your consultation and discover how this innovative treatment can help you achieve your skincare goals.

frequently asked
questions

Are Dermapen skin needling treatments available at all Skin Renewal branches?
How many Dermapen treatments do you need?

The number of Dermapen sessions you need depends on your skin concerns and desired results. Typically, 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Additional sessions may be necessary for deeper scars or more severe wrinkles.

Can Dermapen remove dark spots?

Yes, Dermapen can help reduce the appearance of dark spots by promoting skin cell turnover and collagen production. Over time, this process helps lighten hyperpigmentation and improve overall skin tone. However, multiple sessions may be needed for best results.

How many days after Dermapen can I wash my face?

You can gently wash your face 24 hours after a Dermapen treatment. To protect the treated skin as it heals, use a mild cleanser and avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants.

How often should you Dermapen your face?

Dermapen treatments can be performed every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin's healing process and the severity of your skin concerns. Regular treatments within this timeframe can help maintain optimal results.

Does Dermapen tighten skin?

Yes, Dermapen effectively tightens the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin, especially when used consistently over several sessions.

Is Dermapen treatment painful?

Dermapen treatment is generally well-tolerated and involves minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort. You may feel a slight prickling sensation during the treatment.

Can I exfoliate my face after Dermapen?

You should avoid exfoliating your face for at least 1 -2 weeks after a Dermapen treatment. Your skin will be sensitive, and exfoliating can irritate the treated area and disrupt the healing process.

So far it has been an interesting experience doing the dermapen alternating with the peel/laser genesis. Carmen has been quite gentle with me explaining to me the process and what I should expect, of which I really do appreciate.

It has been a journey to get here! I arrived with active acne that was treated through a series of peels. Now that my skin has stabilized, I was left with acne scarring, which is being treated with Dermapen. After the first session I could already see the results, so today I am back for my second!

Dr Dominique, at the Skin Renewal Claremont branch, was unbelievable professional and very friendly during my dermapen treatment. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and very happy to answer all my questions thoroughly. Cindy, my therapist, was an absolute delight - she is beautiful, gentle and also highly professional in her approach. Overall my experience with both Cindy & Dr Dominique was brilliant and surpassed all of my expectation.

My terapeut verduidelik fantasties en gee ongelooflike facials! Die behandelings tot dusver is ek baie tevrede mee en my vel lyk beter as in baie jare. Die pigmentasie is besig om weg te gaan en my vel tekstuur is sag en sonder enige "break outs" wat ek selde, indien ooit, nou meer kry. Ek is baie tevrede met die kwaliteit en diens, baie dankie Skin Renewal Stellenbosch.
