Dermapen & medical needling<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Medical needling with the dermapen is a classic collagen induction therapy that stimulates the body’s own collagen production. This delays the formation of wrinkles and gradually and continuously plumps up existing wrinkles from within, reduces pores, improves the complexion, and firms the skin. In contrast, Botox paralyzes facial muscles, and because of the lack of muscle contraction, wrinkles cannot form, or existing wrinkles become smoother over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

About the Dermapen (Neopen)<\/h2>\n

The Dermapen is a motorized device equipped with very fine, sterile needles. These needles create thousands of tiny channels on the skin’s surface in a matter of seconds. This process, known as microneedling, triggers the body’s natural wound-healing process. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. The depth of the channels is adjustable, and the device’s speed makes this method virtually painless.<\/p>\n

The Dermapen is also available for purchase online for home use. The difference between home and medical microneedling lies in the needle length. In medical settings, needles up to 1.5 mm are used, and under anesthesia for deep scars, such as those resulting from burns, needles up to 3 mm are used. For home use, the needles are significantly shorter, typically around 0.2 mm. After some searching, longer needles are also available for purchase, but these should only be used by professionals \u2013 also to avoid the risk of infection. Longer needles allow access to deeper layers of the skin, thus better stimulating collagen production and regeneration. Deeper needles are particularly necessary in the forehead and cheek areas. Shorter needles, or special nano-needles, are used in the sensitive eye area. These are especially thin and short, delivering the therapeutic agent to the correct layer of skin to achieve maximum therapeutic effect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
