It works by utilising medical-grade micro needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. The purpose of creating micro-injuries is to trick the skin to produce collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin will repair itself by destroying the old, damaged tissues that cause acne scarring, wrinkles and pigmentation.

The Dermapen can be used on any part of the body and can even treat the delicate areas such as the neck, around the mouth, nose and eye bags.

It can treat many skin conditions such as:

• Acne scars
• Surgical scars (caesarean, tummy tuck and other post-surgical scars)
• Sun damage
• Skin pigmentation issues
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Large pores
• Uneven skin tone

Combining Microneedling with PRP Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a portion of the patient’s own blood. Micro-needling makes micro-injuries in the skin. The making of these micro-injuries activates normal wound healing in the layers of the skin. This wound healing leads to tightening and smoothing the texture of the skin. Also, the micro-injuries created by microneedling allows the PRP to deeply penetrate the dermis (a deeper layer of the skin). In the dermis, the PRP delivers growth factors and nutrients that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. During a micro-needling session, the provider will apply PRP directly to the skin after micro-needling.
