Reap the Benefits of Dermapen Skin Needling
D – Dermapen Skin Needling
“A-Z The building blocks to become the best version of yourself”
If you’re wanting to maintain your skin’s youthful-looking elasticity, collagen is key. While our bodies produce lots of it when we’re young, our supply gradually starts to deplete with age. Fortunately, you can encourage your skin to produce more of it and one of the most effective methods is via a Dermapen treatment. This very popular, minimal downtime treatment is safe for all skin types and colours and offered at Skin Renewal in Paarl.
The Dermapen difference
A Dermapen is a handheld electric device that uses multiple needles of an adjustable length to pierce the skin vertically. While a traditional roller’s needles go in at an angle, the Dermapen’s needles’ straight in-and-out method greatly reduces the risk of tearing the skin. This encourages new collagen growth in a way that’s much less uncomfortable and a lot more effective.
If you’re concerned about enlarged pores as well as fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, neck and décolleté, a series of Dermapen treatments could be the ideal solution. They could also help minimise the appearance of scars, including those caused by acne.
How does it work?
When your skin encounters a “wound”, this triggers a natural reparative process that involves the creation of fresh, healthy collagen. A Dermapen treatment replicates this process, but in a way that’s much more controlled. Also, because a numbing cream is applied beforehand, it’s not painful in the least.
After the treatment, you might look as though you’ve got a moderate sunburn. This improves within 24 to 48 hours. Your therapist can also apply a breathable, healing makeup like Lycogel immediately afterwards to help minimise any redness. You can then return to your normal daily activities straight after the treatment and wear your own make-up the very next day.
Reap the rewards
As a Dermapen treatment encourages collagen formation, you wouldn’t see the results right away. It would take about two to three months for your fresh, new collagen to bloom. Also, the results are cumulative, so you’d require at least three or four sessions to truly benefit.
At Skin Renewal, we believe in tackling skincare concerns with a multipronged approach, using multiple treatments that enhance each other’s effects. This is why we often combine Dermapen with other non-invasive procedures. We’ve found that, when it comes to treating acne scars, deeper wrinkles and for general skin rejuvenation, we get great results from alternating Dermapen sessions with a combination of carboxytherapy and Laser Genesis rejuvenation treatments.
