What is Dermapen™?

Dermapen™ is the original and best skin needling device that promotes scar less healing and natural collagen reproduction, similar to fractional laser treatments, IPL, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels, but without the side effects and downtime.

Dermapen™ treatment is safer and more effective in piercing the skin than traditional skin needling rollers, because of its unique vertical needling technology. Dermapen™ has a superior effect on collagen and elastin rejuvenation as it allows active ingredients to be supplied to the deeper layers of the skin.

How does the Dermapen treatment work?

Dermapen™ uses 12 surgical grade micro needles that deliver effortless and effective skin needling. The exclusive needle system is nickel and titanium free in an individual spring loaded cartridge which allows for procedure depth versatility to customise every treatment area and concern. Dermapens™ unique spring loaded cartridge uses electrically charged automation to revolutionise skin needling procedures.

The oscillating stamp like pen (with AOVN™ technology) harmoniously vibrates and glides over the skin providing the most efficient control, safety and comfort as possible. With 12 needles in each tip and a motor which is capable of 180 Hz, the Dermapen™ produces around 1300 micro channels per second.

With the process of angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels) this enables new nutrients to be delivered to the hair follicle to stimulate and sustain hair growth.

What is Alopecia?

Alopecia is the partial or complete absence of hair from areas of the body where it normally grows. There are different types of Alopecia, which are:

Type	Classification	Characteristics
Telegon Effluvium	Mild	An increase of hair follicles in telogen phase creating thinning & hair loss
Androgenic Alopecia	Mild to severe	Increased dihydrotestosterone levels create shorter hair growth cycles creating baldness around the temples & crown
Tractional Alopecia	Mild	Localised hair loss occurs due to trauma from hair elastics, clips & millinery
Cictricial Alopecia	Moderate to severe	The hair follicle becomes destroyed and is replaced by scar tissue preventing hair growth
Alopecia Areata / Alopecia Universalis	Moderate to severe	A genetically acquired auto-immune disorder where anagen follicles are attacked suppressing normalised hair growth
Alopecia Totalis	Severe	The complete loss of all head hair. The pathogenesis is believed to be auto-immune

Are Dermapen treatments painful?

Most clients who have had derma roller and Dermapen felt that the treatment was more comfortable with Dermapen and less downtime.

The treatment is very comfortable and requires no topical anesthetics, unlike the derma roller, or other skin preparation. The skin surface can also be cooled after the treatment to ensure additional treatment safety. Patients will experience limited downtime.

When can I expect to see results from Dermapen treatments?

The treatment course guide is 8-10 treatments at 4-8 week intervals. Follow-up refresher treatments as required. Schedule a FREE CONSULTATION to establish your personalised treatment plan.

Is Dermapen safe, and are there any side effects?

Dermapen is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types. There are generally no side effects with the treatment, although some people may experience some short-term reddening immediately after their treatment, but this subsides quickly.
