Dermapen4™ Microneedling

Dermapen 4 Microneedling Benefits

Maximum Results.
Minimal Trauma.

Dermapen technology has significant benefits over dermal-rolling and fractional laser treatments, due to the minimal trauma to your skin. Dermapen microneedling gives skin the chance to spend more effort fighting the ailment itself, rather than any collateral damage caused by the procedure.

Boosts Collagen For Anti-Ageing

Dermapen microneedling procedures boost the body’s natural healing response to increase collagen and elastin production for reduced wrinkles and lines.

Reduces Pigmentation

Unlike some laser treatments, Dermapen microneedling removes the risk of heat injury and hypopigmentation risks, while promoting optimised cell function.

Visibly Reduces Enlarged Pores

Microneedling with Dermapen stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, plumping up and tightening the appearance of the enlarged pores.

Revises Scarring

Dermapen 4 is the only microneedling device with a dedicated scar setting and protocols for revision of all scar types including acne scarring.

Improves Problematic / Acne Skin

Dermapen Treatments visibly improve the appearance of problematic skin breakouts and black or whiteheads (comedones) and active acne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please click on the questions below for the answer.

What's the recommended treatment schedule?

As each skin is different, Claudia will discuss your personalised, best treatment plan in your Dermapen consultation.

However, this is how many sessions are generally required for best results with the following skin conditions:

  • Acne: 3 - 4 sessions | 2 - 3 weeks apart
  • Pigmentation: 3 - 6 sessions | 2 - 4 weeks apart
  • Ageing/Sun Damage: 4 -6 sessions | 5 - 8 weeks apart
  • Scarring: 4 - 5 sessions | 6 - 8  weeks apart

How long will it take for me to see results?

Typically, you will see results after your first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 4 to 6 treatments. 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 from your therapist.

Is the treatment painful?

No. Most clients find that Dermapen4™ treatments are relatively painless since extremely fine needles are used and they move very quickly. The process is minimally invasive and can be quite soothing.

Is there any downtime after treatments?

You may experience redness for 12 - 48 hours after the treatment, this will fade. Your skin may also feel a little dry initially but it will become smooth and radiant within a week.

Most people are able to head back to work or normal activities immediately after treatment.

It’s extremely important to avoid sun exposure and to minimise the use of active skincare products in the first 24 hours post-treatment.

You won’t need to cleanse or moisturise your skin for the next 12 hours or so, as products containing moisturising ingredients will have been applied as part of your treatment.

Your therapist will apply a protective lotion (DP Dermaceuticals ™Cover Recover) which will reduce this redness with a cooling effect, as well as providing a bit of coverage and sun protection.

Can anybody have Dermapen4™ treatments?

Yes! Due to their non-surgical, minimally invasive nature of these treatments, they are suitable for anybody.

How much does each session cost?

Due to each treatment plan requiring a different number of sessions and home care products, treatments are individually priced starting from $299 per session. However, should you commit to a treatment plan with several sessions, of course Claudia will calculate the best possible package rate for you.
