Dermapen is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. Using microneedling technology, it stimulates collagen and elastin to address acne scars, fine lines, dark spots, large pores and overall skin texture — all without surgery or significant downtime.
How Dermapen microneedling works
The Dermapen device contains 12 ultrafine needles that create controlled micro-channels at depths of 0.5mm to 2.5mm depending on the area treated. These micro-injuries activate the skin's natural healing process, producing fresh type I and III collagen, improving texture, firmness and luminosity from within.
Conditions Dermapen treats effectively
Atrophic acne scars (the type left after cystic acne), recent stretch marks, fine lines on forehead, eyes and around the mouth, large pores, mild laxity, melasma and dark spots (combined with depigmenting actives), and scalp hair loss (when used for alopecia).
How many sessions you need
For general texture improvement: 3–4 sessions every 4 weeks. For acne scars: 4–6 sessions. For stretch marks: 6–8 sessions. Results progressively appear from week 4 of the first session and continue improving for up to 6 months as new collagen forms.
Aftercare protocol
First 24 hours: skin appears red like mild sunburn. Apply only the recommended hydrating serum and SPF 50+. Avoid makeup for 48 hours, intense exercise for 24 hours, sauna and pools for 72 hours, and direct sun for one week. Mild peeling on days 3–5 is normal and indicates new skin renewal.
