Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that creates multiple microscopic wounds over the treatment area to stimulate collagen production and promote healthier-looking skin. Several conditions respond well to microneedling. These include the treatment of:
- Acne and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild skin laxity
Incredibly safe and effective for all skin types and tones, microneedling can produce results for several months. However, the actual duration depends on factors unique to the patient, including age at the time of treatment, the condition being treated, lifestyle choices, and similar considerations.
Microneedling can be done with a roller device or a more advanced pen. Both options are relatively non-invasive, with most patients able to resume work and normal activities immediately after treatment. However, while both devices can produce noticeable results, microneedling pens offer greater precision and depth and create more desirable outcomes.
Because microneedling relies on collagen production, full results can take up to six weeks to materialize. During this time, advising patients to take proper care of their skin may help to improve final results.
Darmapen
Dermapen is an advanced microneedling device that utilizes proprietary technology to penetrate the skin at precise depths. This automated microneedling device is equipped with disposable tips, helping ensure they are sterile and safe without autoclaving. It is safer and more effective than traditional roller options, some of which are available for home use.
Microneedling rollers offer one depth. By comparison, Dermapen can penetrate at multiple depths, allowing treatment to be customized to meet the patient’s exact needs. Moreover, due to its design, Dermapen can treat areas that are hard to reach by roller, such as the upper lip, nose, and space underneath the eyes.
Dermapen is commonly used to address issues on the face and neck. It can also be used on the chest, back, legs, and other areas with skin laxity or stretch marks. However, patients may require more than one treatment to achieve optimal results.
Less invasive and painful than roller options, Dermapen also reduces risks of infection and bleeding. As a result, it makes a fantastic addition to aesthetic medicine and med spa practices, even where other microneedling devices are available.
