Dermapen™
Microneedling
DONOTUSE
- Botox
- Filler
Number of sessions for best results
Depending on issue, 3 – 8 treatments 2 – 8 weeks apart
When can results be expected
One of the many advantages associated with this treatment is that patients usually see some signs of improvement within a week, with more dramatic results developing over the next three or four weeks
Duration of Results
Your results will last anywhere from three to five months, and many patients schedule follow-up treatments twice a year to maintain their results.
Recovery
With Dermapen, there is no downtime. However, due to the nature of the procedure, it is best to avoid it before a big event to let your skin calm. For around 12-48 hours after the procedure, the treated skin will remain red and should be left free of make-up for as long as possible to help it heal as it should.
Risks & Complications
Skin damage is a risk that commonly occurs with microneedling devices. The damage may include bleeding, bruising, redness, tightness, itching and peeling, and these typically go away without any treatment after a few days or weeks.
Anaesthesia
Of all the microneedling devices in the world, the Dermapen 4™ is far less painful.
We don’t even recommend numbing the area beforehand because it’s so comfortable. Our correct DermapenWorld™ Protocols and aftercare are designed to soothe and camouflage any visible redness or sensation of heat. We call it a “lunchtime procedure” as you’re able to carry on with your daily routine immediately afterwards.
Procedure Time
A full-face can be treated in as little as 10 minutes.

Micro Needling After Care
Questions?
The principle behind skin needling (microneedling) has been around for thousands of years. The microfine needles create a virtually painless “controlled injury”. When the body goes to fix that injury, it creates new collagen and elastin within the skin. It’s an effective and natural rejuvenation that offers results within a couple of treatments. It’s safe for all skin types and colours.
Why Dermapen™?
Dermapen offers the latest, most innovative, and most awarded microneedling system in the world.
Benefits of Dermapen Treatments™
Scars
Chemical Peel Risks
Every procedure involves a certain amount of risk, and it is important that you understand the risks involved.
An individual’s choice to undergo a procedure is based on the comparison of the risk to potential benefit.
Although most patients do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of them with Dr Inge to make sure you understand the risks, potential complications and consequences of chemical peels.

Micro Needling After Care
Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions – Micro Needling
What are Dermapen™ treatments?
Is the treatment painful?
How should I prepare my skin for a Dermapen™ treatment?
For optimal results, an appropriate homecare regime of Dp Dermaceuticals™ should be determined by your clinician to encourage the skin to prepare, strengthen and fortify (especially for thin or delicate skin areas). Continue to use Dp Dermaceuticals™ for a period of 2-3 weeks before and after the Dermapen™ treatments.
The Dp Dermaceuticals™ range is suitable for ongoing homecare, a medical grade dermaceutical with powerful “actives” for anti-aging and corrective skincare.
The range features a cleanser, exfoliant, moisturiser, treatment creams, 3D Sculpted masks, medicated breathable camouflage with SPF – Cover Recover™ is designed as an everyday anti ageing makeup and immediate post-treatment coverage recovery balm.
Is there any downtime after treatments?
Generally no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Application of Dp Dermaceuticals™ Cover Recover™ will seal and heal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work.
Can Dermapen Treatments™ tear or scratch the skin?
No. Dermapen™’s unique vertical needles provide fractional rejuvenation that does not compromise the integrity of the skin. The Advanced Oscillation Vertical Needle™ Technology moves so quickly that the Dermapen effortlessly glides across the skin.
Can you have a Dermapen™ microneedling procedure if you have an open wound?
The Dermapen™ device is designed to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate skin. We don’t recommend using it on an open wound. Wait for the area to heal and then proceed.
How can Dermapen™ successfully treat so many different skin concerns?
The process also involves needling in potent actives from our targeted skincare range Dp Dermaceuticals™. It’s the only skincare range that is DermapenWorld™ approved and which has been specifically designed to be safely infused into the skin. The high quality and abundant bio-compatible actives included in Dp Dermaceuticals are designed to be delivered deeper into the skin. We’ve created a range that can be mixed and matched depending on your skin concerns for superior results.
How many treatments are recommended for rejuvenation, acne scarring and stretch marks? (General guide)
- Rejuvenation*: 3-6 treatments 6-8 weeks apart
- Acne scarring: 4-6 treatments 6-8 weeks apart
- Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments 6-8 weeks apart
- Pigmentation: 4-6 treatments 2-4 weeks apart
*Superficial treatments maybe recommended at 4 weekly intervals
How soon after filler/muscle relaxant injections can I have a Dermapen™ treatment?
While there is no clinical evidence that Dermapen™ treatments counteract with any particular injectables, it is important to let your clinician know if you have had an injectable treatment, or are planning one in the near future. Your clinician will be able to advise you on when to schedule your treatment appropriately.
How long should it take before I see results?
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 3 to 6 treatments (spaced 2-8 weeks apart). The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended post-treatment care.
Are Dermapen Treatments™ safe during pregnancy?
If you’re pregnant or lactating, we recommend seeking medical permission first.
How often should I have microneedling for my skin concern?
Do Dermapen Treatments™ lighten the appearance of dark circles under eyes?
Yes! Dermapen Treatments™ work very well for dark circles under the eyes in two ways.
- The treatment helps build skin thickness and quality. Therefore, thin transparent skin that causes dark circles is improved.
- If the dark circles are caused by pigmentation, your clinician may use Dp Dermaceuticals HYLA ACTIVE™ and BRITE LITE™ as the Meso-Glide medium for great results.
Do Dermapen Treatments™ improve the appearance of scars?
Does Dermapen™ improve the appearance of veins?
While Dermapen™ can provide a visual reduction in some telangiectasia, the treatments are not designed to treat or target veins.
