How It Works

What is Dermapen?

Dermapen is a micro-needling procedure that stimulates the skin’s healing processes and triggers collagen production. It is perfect for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, acne scars, stretch marks, and for general skin rejuvenation. Dermapen applicator has very fine needles attached to its top that gently puncture the treated area and cause micro-injuries. Once the new and healthy collagen and elastin have built up, they smooth and tighten the skin, fill in the wrinkles, and improve the appearance of acne scars. It is a safe and minimally invasive treatment that doesn’t require a long downtime.

How does it work?

The Dermapen micro-needling pen consists of individually sealed and disposable sterile needle cartridges. During the treatment, the therapist moves the device up and down across the patient’s skin. The needles create 1,300 micropunctures per second, and these microchannels stimulate the skin’s healing processes and trigger collagen production. By stimulating collagen production, Dermapen triggers the body’s ability to repair and regrow new skin cells to answer the micro-damage caused by micro-needles.

Dermapen treatment is precisely controlled so it doesn’t cause any damage to the surface layer of the skin. It stimulates collagen production by activating the three phases of CIT. The first phase starts when the body releases its growth factors, which cause epidermal growth, fibroblast, and matrix creation. The second phase starts with the production of collagen and elastin. The third phase represents the result of the Dermapen treatment in Dubai – the skin tissue gets remodeled, and the skin becomes firmer.

What Can Dermapen Treatment Address?

Dermapen treatment can be performed both on the face and the body. It is suitable for men and women who wish to improve the appearance of their skin in a minimally invasive way and without a long recovery.

Dermapen can treat different skin problems

Dermapen treatment for the face can improve:

  • Acne scars – after a couple of treatment sessions the patient can notice dramatic results. Depressed acne scars become less visible as the new skin cells fill them up. Eventually, the skin’s surface becomes more evenly textured.
  • Hyperpigmentation – the treatment can dramatically improve dark spots and patchy areas. With microchannels created in the skin, the cells return to normal production. After the treatment, the skin is dry and peels off the dark spots. Once the peeling is finished, the new collagen starts to produce and creates a new skin layer. The new skin is brighter, and the skin tone is evener.
  • Dark circles under the eyes – Once Dermapen causes micro-injuries in this area, the skin becomes thicker, and dark circles become less noticeable. The collagen makes the skin on this delicate area firmer. The treatment also improves blood circulation, greatly reducing the appearance of dark circles.
  • Wrinkles and fine lines – Once the collagen and elastin have built up, the skin gets firmer and thicker. New skin cells fill up wrinkles and fine lines. The skin texture is more elastic and firmer. The treatment greatly reduces these signs of aging.
  • Dull and tired-looking skin – Dull and tired-looking skin experiences revitalization as the treatment promotes natural regeneration, leading to a more radiant, refreshed complexion.
  • Surgical and trauma scars – Surgical and trauma scars also respond well to the treatment, as collagen production helps smooth the skin and minimize the appearance of scars over time.
  • Enlarged pores – Enlarged pores become less noticeable as the Dermapen treatment works to refine the skin’s texture, leading to a more even, polished surface.

Dermapen for the body can improve:

  • Stretch marks – The treatment can eliminate stretch marks forever. The micro-injuries it causes to the skin help it heal itself with collagen and elastin production. As the new skin cells grow, they replace the skin damaged by stretch marks. The whole treated area of the skin becomes firmer and more elastic.
  • Mildly loose skin on the stomach (especially after weight loss) – Mildly loose skin on the stomach, especially after significant weight loss, can benefit from Dermapen as it boosts collagen production in the treated area. This leads to a firmer, tighter appearance as the skin regains elasticity, creating a smoother, more toned look.
  • Surgical and other scars – Surgical and other scars respond well to the treatment, with the micro-injuries encouraging the skin’s natural healing process. Over time, collagen rebuilds the damaged tissue.
  • Hair loss – Dermapen treatment can activate dead hair follicles to start growing hair again. This happens because of the micro-injuries that are created on the scalp. The treatment also improves blood circulation, which is responsible for nutrients that reach dead follicles and regenerate them. Once the collagen is produced on the scalp, thicker and healthier hair grows again.

Related Procedures

In addition to Dermapen, several advanced treatments can further enhance skin rejuvenation and address a variety of aesthetic concerns. Here are some of the related procedures available at Lucia Clinic:

    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    • WHO SHOULD AVOID DERMAPEN DUBAI TREATMENT?

      Although this treatment is safe for all skin types, some patients shouldn’t undergo it especially if they have some autoimmune diseases or bleeding disorders. Also, the treatment should be avoided if the patient has active acne or other inflammations. Pregnant or breastfeeding ladies are not good candidates for Dermapen either.

    • WHAT DOES THE DERMAPEN TREATMENT INVOLVE?

      When the patient arrives at Lucia Clinic, first he/she is consulted with Lucia’s skin therapist, who examines the patient’s skin concerns and decides if this treatment is suitable for him/her. The patient also talks about previous medical history or if he/she is currently taking any medications. Then, the therapist creates a customized treatment plan that will specifically address the patient’s skin issues and also meet the patient’s expectations.

      The treatment plan includes the number of treatment sessions that will bring the best results. Also, the therapist will choose the length of Dermapen micro-needles according to the patient’s skin type and skin concerns. For example, the therapist can use from 0.13 to 0.25 mm needle length to improve the absorption of skincare products. For acne scars, on the other hand, the therapist will use a 1.5-2 mm needle length in order to penetrate deeper into the skin layers.

      The needle length is manually changed and can be adjusted according to which area is being treated.

      Before the treatment starts, the patient's skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied if necessary. Then the therapist applies the Dermapen applicator over the patient’s skin and punctures it. Once the whole treatment area is covered the treatment is finished. The patient can receive a specially chosen serum that will address his/her skin issues and further boost the results. Finally, a high SPF is applied to the patient’s treated area to protect the skin.

      The treatment usually lasts from 20 to 30 minutes, but it may last longer if the treated area is larger.

    • IS DERMAPEN TREATMENT PAINFUL?

      During the treatment, the patient may feels light discomfort when the micro-needles puncture the skin. It is usually compared to scratching, but the needles puncture the skin so fast that it is only mildly unpleasant. However, a topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to ease the discomfort. The patient may also take simple painkiller medications if he/she is worried about the discomfort.

      Once the micro-needles have punctured the skin, the patient will have pinpoint bleeding sites that stop right away.

    • WHAT ARE THE DERMAPEN TREATMENT SIDE EFFECTS AND DOWNTIME?

      Immediately after the treatment, the patient’s skin is red and feels like it was sunburnt. This sensitivity should stop after 24 hours. Mild swelling might happen also as well as moderate skin peeling 2 days post-treatment. The patient can use mild makeup to cover the redness and bleeding point and resume the daily activities. However, every patient has different skin, so some might need a day or two to fully recover.

      The treatment makes the skin really sensitive because the microchannels are opened. So it is important to avoid any products that would irritate the skin. Also, the patient should avoid direct sun exposure or use a high SPF. While the skin is recovering, the patient should use only mild makeup and gentle skincare products. It is not recommended to perform strenuous exercises or visit saunas and steam rooms because the skin is swollen after the treatment and can get irritated even more because of the heat or sweat.

    • HOW MANY DERMAPEN DUBAI TREATMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED?

      It all depends on the skin concerns and expected results. Usually, 4 to 8 sessions are required. Each session should be 4 to 6 weeks spaced out.

    • WHAT ARE THE DERMAPEN DUBAI TREATMENT BENEFITS?

      Dermapen Dubai treatment is one of the safest procedures for skin rejuvenation. It doesn’t require a long recovery and it is perfect for patients who shy away from more invasive treatments.

      It removes acne scars and other skin imperfections like wrinkles, dark or sun spots and others. It improves overall skin texture and tone, minimizes pores and eliminates stretch marks. It can also stimulate hair growth.

      The treatment doesn’t cause unnecessary damage to the skin because it doesn’t involve using heat or chemicals. That’s why the skin is able to heal really quickly.

      Dermapen micro-needling treatment triggers the growth of new and healthy skin cells which replace the damaged ones. Also, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which make the skin firmer and more youthful-looking.

    • How much does Dermapen cost in Dubai?

      The cost of Dermapen treatment in Dubai varies depending on factors such as the number of sessions required and the areas being treated. At Lucia Clinic, we customize each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of our clients, which impacts the overall pricing. For an accurate cost estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation where our experts can assess your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan along with detailed pricing information.

    • Can Dermapen go wrong?

      While Dermapen is generally a safe and effective treatment, it can lead to complications if not performed correctly or if aftercare instructions are not followed. Potential risks include infection, prolonged redness, or irritation, particularly if the skin is not properly cleaned before the procedure or if you have sensitive skin. In rare cases, improper technique or unsuitable skin conditions, such as active acne or infections, could lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation. To minimize risks, it's important to have the treatment done by qualified professionals in a sterile environment.

    • Is Dermapen better than microneedling?

      Dermapen is a type of microneedling, but it offers some advantages over traditional microneedling methods. Dermapen uses a motorized, pen-like device that allows for greater precision and control over the depth of needle penetration. This makes it more effective for treating specific skin concerns like acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores. It also reduces discomfort and healing time compared to older microneedling techniques. Additionally, Dermapen's adjustable settings make it suitable for different skin types and areas of the face and body.
