Dermapen
Dermapen can be used to make very precise corrections and alterations in order to treat a host of skin problems.
It is a great treatment for specifically targeting skin conditions in localised areas.
How does Dermapen work?
Dermapen is a microneedling device which is designed to easily penetrate the skin’s epidermis (outer layer). This encourages the skin to tap into its own natural healing abilities and paves the way for serums and skin healing products to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin.
What does Dermapen treat?
Dermapen is ideal for treating specific conditions such as acne and acne scarring, where it boosts the skin’s own healing mechanisms.
In addition, it can also be used to treat loss of volume in the skin, dull-looking skin, pigmentation, clogged up pores, and improve lines and wrinkles.
Even though there are a variety of microneedling devices which can be used to treat specific skin conditions, Dermapen is the smallest microneedling device, so is great for accurate and precise detail.
“Dermapen is an incredibly effective and versatile tool, useful in treating anything from minor acne scars and wounds to lines and spots on the skin associated with ageing.
“Those with skin of colour find themselves dealing with acne, skin wounds and discolouration more so than other women. Dermapen microneedling is highly effective at boosting the skin’s recovery and healing mechanisms – resulting in skin that looks younger, brighter and firmer.”
