Microneedling (Dermapen)

Dermapen microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and acne scarring. A serum is driven into the skin during treatment for added effect, and the clinic offers an exosome add-on for a stronger regenerative boost. A short course gives the best results for scarring and uneven texture, and treatment can extend to the neck, décolletage and hands.

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 injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, which is associated with 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 treatment to penetrate more effectively. At Klinika dr Stachura 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 24–48 hours, after which skin tends to look 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 used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands. For best results — particularly with scarring — a course of around three sessions spaced about four weeks apart is recommended. The clinic offers an exosome (ASCE+) add-on that layers regenerative signalling factors onto the treatment, and can step up to radiofrequency microneedling for patients who also want skin tightening. Strict sun protection afterwards is essential. Microneedling is avoided over active acne or infection and during pregnancy; the clinician confirms suitability at consultation.
