The skin, our largest organ, loses what keeps it youthful—hyaluronic acid and collagen—over the years. Fortunately, it’s also the organ that can be rejuvenated and restored.

While:

• Mesotherapy nourishes the skin deeply from within
• Chemical peels smooth the skin’s surface

There are techniques applicable at different skin depths, one of which is microneedling.

Dermapen and dermaroller are fundamental microneedling methods, and we will explain both in detail.

What is Dermapen?

Dermapen is a more intensive microneedling method, used by therapists or medical doctors depending on needle length, to correct and heal certain skin conditions.

What needle lengths are used with Dermapen?

The point-like skin damage caused by microneedling/Dermapen techniques varies depending on the needle length:

• 0.25 mm – Short needles: For home use. They create superficial and mild epidermal damage, making the application of serums and ampoules more effective.
• 0.5 mm – Medium needles: For professional cosmetic treatments, primarily in needle-free mesotherapy. These needles cause sufficient epidermal damage to allow mesotherapy cocktails to penetrate deeper skin layers, ensuring maximum effectiveness. For the final part of the treatment, a needle-free mesotherapy device (radiofrequency or ultrasound) is also used.
• More than 0.5 mm – Long needles: These fall under medical treatments as they damage deeper skin layers, providing true deep microneedling.

How does a Dermapen treatment work?

The needles of the Dermapen device create small, pinpoint injuries in the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). This leads to the development of new blood vessels and better skin circulation, a process known as “neoangiogenesis.”

Additionally, it stimulates the migration of fibroblasts, leading to the production of collagen by creating planned, minute skin damage. This means reduced scar and wrinkle depth, pore tightening, and skin lifting effects.

Can Dermapen be combined with other treatments?

Yes, microneedling works well on its own but shows even better results when combined with mesotherapy or chemical peels. The correct choice of peel and expert treatment lead to perfect results, while a poor combination can cause permanent damage.

What skin conditions can Dermapen improve?

Dermapen can reduce or eliminate many undesirable skin conditions, whether used alone or in combination with other methods. It can treat dehydrated, sagging, and wrinkled skin, melasma, acne scars, enlarged pores, old scars, and stretch marks. Expert application is crucial due to its broad applicability.

How often should the treatment be done?

The frequency of treatments depends on needle length, combination with other treatments, and the skin condition being treated. It can range from weekly sessions to breaks of two to three weeks.

Does the treatment hurt, and how long is the recovery?

The use of a local anesthetic minimizes discomfort, even with the longest needles. Recovery time varies from a few hours to several days, depending on the treatment’s invasiveness. This is always thoroughly discussed beforehand.

What is Dermaroller?

Dermaroller treatments are extremely popular worldwide. They are effective, lasting, and nearly painless solutions for removing scars, enlarged pores, and signs of aging.

How does Dermaroller work?

Dermaroller treatments create mechanical micro-damage to the skin, stimulating regeneration and tightening of the face, neck, and décolleté. They also form pores that allow mesotherapy products to penetrate the appropriate skin layers. Therefore, Dermaroller and mesotherapy are often combined in corrective and anti-aging packages.

“Pixel Peel” – The Synergistic Effect of Two Treatments

Years of experience have shown that combining Dermaroller with chemical peels yields excellent results in treating scars and rejuvenating the skin. The special “Pixel Peel” treatment combines these two methods for a synergistic effect, promoting more efficient skin regeneration.
