Dermapen + Glowpeel — Microneedling with Chemical Peel

The Dermapen + Glowpeel protocol at Follow Clinic combines Dermapen microneedling with Hyalual chemical peels in a single session to address surface skin imperfections — uneven tone, enlarged pores, texture, mild acne scarring, and sun damage. Priced at 3,900 Kč (face) and 7,000 Kč (back), this dual-action treatment enhances penetration of the peel's active ingredients through the micro-channels created by the needling, while simultaneously stimulating collagen production. Results are visible from the first session; a course of 2–4 sessions delivers optimal improvement. Maximum 2 courses per year are recommended.

The Dermapen + Glowpeel treatment at Follow Clinic is a combination protocol that pairs the mechanical action of microneedling (via Dermapen) with the chemical exfoliation and remodelling activity of Hyalual-brand peels, applied sequentially in a single session for synergistic benefit. Dermapen is a motorized microneedling device with an adjustable needle depth (0.5–2.5 mm depending on the treatment area) and stamp rate — it creates hundreds of thousands of micro-channels per session, triggering a controlled wound-healing cascade that upregulates collagen I and III, elastin, and growth factors. These microchannels simultaneously serve as pathways for enhanced penetration of the chemical peel actives applied immediately after. Follow Clinic uses the Hyalual peel range, which includes the Clarifying Peel (designed for oily, problematic, acne-prone skin — contains salicylic acid, lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid) and the Advanced Resurfacing Peel (designed for aging, textural irregularities, and uneven tone — contains TCA, lactic acid, and stabilized HA). The treating clinician selects the appropriate Hyalual peel formula based on the client's skin type and concern. The combination approach is more effective than either modality alone: the peel's exfoliant and remodelling actives penetrate significantly deeper via the microneedling channels, while the microneedling collagen stimulus is preserved. The protocol deliberately divides the treatment into multiple moderate sessions rather than a single aggressive application, reducing downtime and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Results are typically visible from the first session as improved skin clarity and hydration; the full course of 2–4 sessions (spaced 3–4 weeks apart) delivers cumulative improvement in texture, tone, and pore appearance. Maximum 2 courses per year is recommended to allow full collagen remodelling between courses. Post-treatment, the skin may appear pink for 24–48 hours, with mild peeling or flaking over days 3–5. No makeup should be applied on the treatment day; sun protection SPF 50 is essential for 2 weeks post-treatment. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active rosacea or eczema in the treatment zone, use of retinoids within 5 days, and allergy to any peel ingredients.
