Dermapen is a microneedling treatment, that is, controlled stimulation of the skin using fine punctures. The goal is not “damage for the sake of damage”, but triggering the repair processes that can support an improvement in texture, tension and the appearance of scars.
What happens in the skin?
Microneedling creates micro-channels and stimulates the natural repair response. In dermatological literature it is described as a method used, among others, for post-acne scars, photoageing and uneven skin structure. The effect is not immediate, because remodelling the skin takes time.
Who is Dermapen for?
- for people with uneven skin texture
- with post-acne scars and minor irregularities
- with a loss of firmness and the first signs of ageing
- when the skin needs stimulation, not just a superficial refresh
When do we not start with microneedling?
Active inflammation, a fresh tan, skin infections, certain medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, a tendency to keloids and recent medical procedures require caution. In such situations we do not qualify anyone online, but discuss safety during a consultation.
Dermapen, PRX-T33 or exosomes?
At Studio AP, microneedling can be performed in various protocols, including microneedling with PRX-T33 or microneedling with exosomes. The choice depends on the skin, the goal of the therapy and how well the skin barrier is prepared for regeneration.
Regeneration after the treatment
After microneedling the skin may be reddened, tender and more reactive. For the first few days we usually focus on regeneration, SPF protection and giving up acids, retinoids and intense rubbing of the skin.
The best results come from a plan, not a single impulse. If you want to check whether Dermapen is right for you, start with a consultation and a skin assessment.
Frequently asked questions
How many Dermapen treatments are needed?
Usually a course with intervals for recovery, because skin remodelling is gradual. The number of treatments is set after assessing the skin and the goal.
What does the skin look like after microneedling?
It may be red and tender for a few days. During that time the focus is on recovery, SPF and pausing acids and retinoids.
Does microneedling remove wrinkles and scars?
It does not remove them completely. It can improve texture, firmness and the appearance of scars. The result depends on the skin, the course and aftercare.
