Dermapen Microneedling

Dermapen microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, supporting improvements in texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and acne scarring. At Med-Derm a serum can be driven into the skin during treatment for added effect. The procedure suits most skin types, and a short course spaced a few weeks apart tends to give the best results for scarring and uneven texture.

Microneedling with a 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 treatment to penetrate more effectively. At Med-Derm the skin is cleansed and 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 the skin looks fresher and, over a few weeks, smoother and more even. Microneedling is well suited to uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and mild-to-moderate acne scarring, and can be used on the face, neck and décolletage. For the best result — particularly with scarring — a course of around three sessions spaced about four weeks apart is recommended. Diligent sun protection afterwards is important while the skin renews. Microneedling is avoided over active acne or infection and in pregnancy; a clinician confirms suitability and the most appropriate depth and protocol for your skin at consultation.
