Dermapen, micro-needling is a popular treatment that uses multiple tiny, vertical needles to create micro-channels deep in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. These microchannels are able to carry topical ingredients like peptides, growth factors or hyaluronic acid deep into the dermis. The latest DermaPen device is the DermaPen 4 which Dr Andre Kepler & Dr Timothy Perks recommend to their patients in their practice.

• Topical Numbing Cream: Yes, applied 15 minutes prior to treatment to minimize discomfort.
• Sensation: Slight prickling sensation
• Discomfort Level: No pain, minimal discomfort due to numbing cream
• Side Effects: Skin barrier temporarily disrupted some dryness and tightness. Redness and inflammation – lasts 1-2 days depending on the depth of micro-needling.
• Caution: Can trigger cold sores.

• Do not use oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents or cool the skin after your treatment as this may reduce the efficacy of the treatment.
• Use a mild cleanser and hydrating products as the skin will be dry.
• Do not gym or do heat-inducing exercise immediately after treatment.
• Some flaking and peeling can occur, do not use harsh scrubs or exfoliants to speed up the process.
• Once the microchannels are closed use a good post-peel skin barrier repair cream (supplied by your Therapist) to support the barrier as it normalizes.
• Resume active ingredients like retinol or AHAs between 5-7 days post-treatment once the skin has settled.
• Use a melanin-inhibiting product 4 weeks prior to your Dermapen treatment if you are prone to pigmentation.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after the peel and use a high factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen if you need to be outdoors.
