Microneedling – Dermapen® 4

Collagen‑stimulating treatment to refine texture, minimise pores, soften fine lines and improve the look of acne scars. Optional LED or exosomes for enhanced comfort and glow. Dermapen® 4 creates precise micro‑channels that prompt a controlled healing response and new collagen. We vary needle depth by area and concern (e.g., shallower for glow, deeper for selected scars) and keep downtime low with gentle aftercare.

Best for

  • Texture refinement and enlarged pores
  • Fine lines and early crepeyness
  • Acne scarring (boxcar/rolling; selected ice‑pick with adjuncts)
  • Tone and overall brightness

What to expect

  1. Consultation – photos, history (incl. acne/HSV), and area mapping.
  2. Numbing – topical anaesthetic for comfort.
  3. Treatment – calibrated passes with depth adjusted per area.
  4. Aftercare – soothing layer, SPF and clear guidance.
  5. Course – often 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart (single ‘glow’ sessions also popular).

Safety & suitability

  • Suitable across all skin tones with tailored depths and aftercare.
  • Not suitable with active acne flares, eczema/psoriasis flares, open lesions, active cold sores, or if pregnant/breastfeeding.
  • Recent isotretinoin use may defer treatment — assessed case‑by‑case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?
A course of 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart is common for texture and pores. Scars may benefit from additional sessions or combination therapy.
Is microneedling painful?
Topical anaesthetic keeps you comfortable. You will feel vibration and a scratching sensation; most patients tolerate it well.
When will I see results?
Skin can look fresher within days. Collagen changes build progressively over 4–8+ weeks after each session.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, with tailored depths and aftercare. We avoid overly aggressive settings and may stage treatment to minimise PIH risk.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid hot yoga/sauna, strenuous exercise and alcohol on the day. Pause retinoids, AHAs/BHAs and exfoliants for 48–72 hours unless advised otherwise. Daily SPF is essential.
Should I add LED or exosomes?
They’re optional but popular. LED helps calm and reduce redness; exosomes can support comfort and glow. We’ll advise what’s best for your skin.
