Dermapen Needle Mesotherapy (Microneedling)

Dermapen fractional needle mesotherapy creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and acne scarring. Active serums are driven into the skin during the same treatment for added effect. At Dr Luch the price varies with the area and the serum chosen, and a short course gives the best results for scarring and overall skin quality.

Microneedling with the Dermapen device uses a cluster of fine needles oscillating at high speed to create thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin. These tiny, controlled stimuli trigger the body's natural repair response, prompting fresh collagen and elastin production that firms the skin and refines its surface over the following weeks. The micro-channels also allow active serums applied during the treatment — the 'mesotherapy' part — to penetrate far more effectively, which is why the clinic prices the treatment according to the serum and area. At Dr Luch the skin is cleansed and a numbing cream applied before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the area. Expect redness similar to mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours, after which skin looks fresher and, over a few weeks, smoother and more even. It is well suited to uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and mild-to-moderate acne scarring, and can be focused on the face or specific areas. For best results — particularly with scarring — a short course of sessions spaced about four weeks apart is recommended, with diligent sun protection afterwards. Microneedling is avoided over active acne or infection and in pregnancy; the physician or cosmetologist confirms suitability and selects an appropriate serum at consultation.
