What is Dermapen?
To make the skin look younger and better, the application that enables the production of elastin and collagen by piercing it with small needles is called Dermapen. Dermapen, which in its simplest definition is a skin renewal procedure, is a dermo-cosmetic application with a history of around 20 years and is effective when performed in professional hands.
Why is Dermapen performed?
Dermapen is an application that is not only used to rejuvenate the skin, but also to innovate by restoring collagen to the skin that has been lost due to various factors. This application is used in the following cases as well:
– Age-related lines and wrinkles
– Dark spots on the skin due to hormonal, genetic or the use of certain medications
– Loss of skin elasticity due to age and environmental factors
– Scars from various injuries
– Acne on the skin due to environmental or hormonal causes
– Large and wide pore structure
How is Dermapen administered?
Dermapen is applied by applying a numbing cream or local anaesthetic and inserting tiny needles into the face using a micro-needle device. As this dermo-cosmetic treatment is also a medical procedure, it should be carried out by specialists in the field. Thanks to the needles, which are inserted with regular movements, the serums applied through the holes opened under the skin activate the production of elastin and collagen. The procedure lasts 15 to 30 minutes on average and is usually carried out in 3 to 6 sessions. Although the interval between sessions varies depending on the assessment to be made, it is usually between 2-6 weeks.
Who can have Dermapen?
Dermapen can be applied to all adult individuals except those with active skin diseases and infections, pregnant and breastfeeding women, those with blood clotting disorders and those receiving immunosuppressive treatment.
It can be used by everyone, regardless of skin type, men and women, who have skin problems (sagging, wrinkles, scars, acne, stretch marks, etc.) due to ageing, environmental factors or hormonal reasons.
What are the benefits of Dermapen?
As Dermapen is a procedure suitable for all skin types, it is a procedure that can benefit anyone who wants to regenerate and rejuvenate their skin. In addition, it has many benefits and some of them are as below:
– Removal of age lines and wrinkles
– Treatment of pores (enlargement and dilation of pores due to environmental or genetic factors, resulting in differences in skin appearance)
– Treating conditions such as sagging skin structure and loss of skin elasticity due to age and genetic factors
– Lightening of skin tone by acting on pigments
– Treatment of acne scars from the past (caused by reasons such as drug use, hormonal factors) and permanent scars on the skin after injury
– It is also possible to benefit from the use of Dermapen to give the skin a radiant, renewed and youthful appearance without the need for treatment.
How should care be after Dermapen?
As Dermapen is both a cosmetic and a medical procedure, there are a number of things you can do after the treatment to increase its effectiveness and speed up the healing process. Some of these are listed below:
– After the first 24 hours, gentle and mild facial cleansers should be used to clean the face for 72 hours.
– Hygiene is very important when touching the dermapenic area. This is because the pores are opened by the procedure and become microbe friendly. For this reason, hands should be washed when touching the application area.
– After dermapen application, exposure to the sun should be minimised and a high factor sunscreen should be used.
– There is no harm in using make-up materials after the first 24 hours of application.
