The Treatment
Dermapen Microneedling
Microneedling uses very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting it to rebuild stronger, smoother tissue. Dermapen delivers this in a precise, even way under clinical control.
Texture, scarring and pore appearance respond best to treatments that remodel the skin from within. Microneedling offers a measured, repeatable way to do that without ablating the surface.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
The depth and density of the needles are set to the area and concern. The skin perceives a controlled micro-injury and responds by laying down new collagen and elastin over the weeks that follow.
Why it matters
Texture, scarring and pore appearance respond best to treatments that remodel the skin from within. Microneedling offers a measured, repeatable way to do that without ablating the surface.
