Dermapen

Dermapen is a treatment method that supports skin renewal and repair by creating controlled micro-channels on the skin using fine micro-needles. Associate Professor Tuğba Falay Gür explains the details of Dermapen treatment, its benefits, and the process, helping patients achieve healthier, younger, and smoother skin.

What is Dermapen?

Dermapen is a device equipped with automatic needle movements that performs microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy. This device creates micro-channels on the upper layers of the skin using fine needles. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production. Dermapen treatment is effective in addressing various aesthetic issues on the face, neck, décolletage, and other skin areas.

Purposes and Goals

The primary goal of Dermapen treatment is to accelerate the skin’s renewal process and address various skin concerns. Key objectives include:

Reducing Wrinkles: Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Tightening: Enhancing skin firmness and elasticity by boosting collagen and elastin production.
Improving Acne Scars: Reducing the visibility of scars and blemishes caused by acne.
Enhancing Skin Tone and Texture: Correcting pigmentation irregularities and improving skin smoothness.
Minimizing Pores: Reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Reducing Hair Loss: Strengthening hair follicles to control hair loss and promote hair growth.

How Dermapen Works

Dermapen treatment involves creating micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin using fine needles. These micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural healing process and boost collagen and elastin production. The treatment creates mild micro-damage to the skin, prompting it to renew itself and achieve a healthier structure.

Treatment Process

The typical steps of Dermapen treatment include:

Assessment: A specialist evaluates the skin type, existing skin issues, and treatment needs.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied if necessary to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
Dermapen Application: The Dermapen device is moved over the skin at specific angles and speeds to create micro-channels. Patients may feel slight pricking or discomfort during the process.
Cooling and Relaxation: Cooling methods may be used during and after treatment to soothe the skin.
Post-Treatment Care: Special care instructions, such as using moisturizers and sun protection, are provided to support skin healing.

Natural and Aesthetic Results: Promotes the skin’s natural renewal process for a youthful and aesthetic appearance.
