Dermapen 4 is a microneedling procedure that is used to enhance skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, improve enlarged pores, even skin texture and target acne scars.
The treatment forms microscopic channels in the skin, which are controlled. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing process and promote collagen synthesis. This can help to enhance the firmness, texture, and structure of the skin over time.
The Dermapen 4 treatment is designed at MedLinks based on the skin concern, treatment area, skin thickness and individual treatment goals.
Dermapen 4 is an automated microneedling device which uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin.
The needles penetrate the skin up and down at a predetermined depth. The dermatologist can adjust this depth as per the area of treatment and the concern being treated.
Dermapen 4 is not a laser or radiofrequency heat-based procedure. It's primarily due to mechanical microneedling and the body's natural healing process.
The action of Dermapen 4 microneedling is known as collagen induction therapy. The needles cause micro wounds in the skin. This begins a natural wound healing process.
Skin repair cells such as fibroblasts are activated and begin to produce collagen, elastin and other structural proteins.
Collagen is responsible for the strength and support of the skin. The skin may slowly become firmer, smoother and even. This takes time, and the primary results are typically slow to show up.
Collagen and elastin in the deeper layer of skin (dermis) contribute to skin firmness.
Collagen levels begin to decline as we get older. The skin can become thinner, less elastic and start to develop fine lines and mild laxity.
Dermapen 4 is a skin repair stimulator that induces controlled repair in the skin. This collagen production can help to provide more structural support and make slightly loose skin tighter.
Generally, Dermapen 4 is more appropriate for slight laxity. If the sagging is moderate or severe, other treatment or a combination treatment may be needed.
Dermapen 4 can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns by stimulating collagen production and supporting the skin’s natural repair process, including but not limited to:
Collagen stimulation can help strengthen the skin’s underlying support structure, making mildly loose skin appear firmer, smoother, and better supported over time.
New collagen can help strengthen the skin’s support structure, making superficial fine lines appear softer, and the skin look smoother over time.
Microneedling promotes controlled tissue renewal and collagen remodelling, which can help rough or uneven skin appear smoother and more refined over time.
Dermapen 4 is not pore-reducing, but enhanced collagen support around the pores may make them seem less visible.
Dermapen 4 can stimulate collagen in scarred tissue to help improve selected depressed acne scars. If the scar is deep or "tethered," more treatments may be needed.
The primary Dermapen 4 benefits are:
Improved skin firmness
Increased collagen production
Smoother skin texture
Softer fine lines
Minimised appearance of large pores
Improved acne scars (selected)
Adjustable treatment depth
Minimal damage to surrounding skin
The results will differ from person to person and depend on the condition of the skin and the treatment plan.
The dermatologist will first assess the skin and determine if it is appropriate for Dermapen 4 treatment.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment to reduce surface impurities, and a topical numbing cream may be applied when needed to improve comfort during the procedure.
The Dermapen 4 device is then dragged over the area to be treated. The fine needles repeatedly penetrate the skin at a predetermined depth.
The depth can be different in different regions due to the different thickness of the skin in various parts of the body.
The skin may be red and warm, tight or sensitive after treatment. There may also be some swelling. These effects are typically a normal healing process.
After the skin has healed, some improvement in skin texture may be observed. When it comes to firmness, fine lines and scars, changes tend to occur more slowly, as collagen takes time to create and re-form. It may take several weeks for improvement to occur after treatment.
Results depend on:
Age
Skin condition
Treatment depth
Concern being treated
Number of sessions
Individual healing response
No one knows the exact number of Dermapen 4 sessions required for each patient. Some people with mild texture changes might require a different treatment approach than a person with acne scars or skin laxity.
If there is a need for more collagen remodelling, multiple sessions may be recommended. The dermatologist determines the number of treatments and treatment interval based on the examination of the skin and its response to treatment.
Most side effects of Dermapen 4 treatment are temporary and usually settle as the skin heals after the procedure.
Common effects are:
Redness
Mild swelling
Skin sensitivity
Tightness
Dryness
Mild peeling
Pinpoint bleeding
Temporary tenderness
Rarer side effects can include infection, pigmentation changes, irritation for a longer period of time or a recurrence of cold sores. These risks can be minimised with proper treatment depth, hygiene and aftercare.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for Dermapen 4. Treatment may be delayed or avoided if you have:
Active skin infection
Active cold sores
Open wounds
Severe inflammatory acne
Poor wound healing
Certain bleeding disorders
A predisposition to get abnormal scars
Active inflammatory skin diseases
Before treatment, let your dermatologist know about any medications, allergies, previous treatments, or medical problems you may have.
Before treatment:
Reduce overexposure to the sun.
Do not use strong exfoliating products as advised.
Discuss medications and supplements with the dermatologist.
Say anything about having had cold sores in the past.
Tell the group what treatments have been done to the skin before.
Wait until the irritation or infection is over.
Never discontinue any medication without a doctor's orders.
The cost of Dermapen 4 can vary depending on the treatment area, skin concern and number of sessions required. The Dermapen 4 treatment cost can be discussed after the dermatologist assesses the skin and recommends an appropriate treatment plan.
