Service Description
Dermapen is a micro-needling treatment that is performed by using multiple tiny needles to create micro-channels deep in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. By creating microchannels, selected active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and growth factors are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin where it can perform different tasks, depending on the purpose of the treatment. What to Expect: Topical Numbing Cream can be applied 15-30 minutes before treatment Sensation: Slight prickling sensation Discomfort Level: Minimal discomfort Side Effects: Immediately after treatment a mild sunburn effect will be experienced (redness and swelling) which can last 1-3 days. During the healing process the skin can feel dry and flaky due to the skin barrier being disrupted Caution: Can trigger cold sores.
