Micro-needling - Collagen Induction
Dermapen Medical Grade Therapy, Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy
Skin Needling with Dermapen® 4 is an effective, non-surgical treatment that addresses a myriad of skin issues which improves texture, ranging from fine lines, scarring, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores and acne by stimulating collagen production. Combining needling and electroporation to effectively deliver a tailored serum much deeper into the dermis than needling alone. This process effectively promotes natural collagen and elastin production which helps skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenating. It is used to improve skin texture, keep the skin smooth and free from blemishes over time.
How does it work?
In Beyond Skin, we use the Dermapen® 4 that uses multiple needles to vertically pierce the skin with patent-pending AOVNTM (Automatic Oscillating Vertical Needling) technology. When moved across the skin, the Dermapen® 4 creates millions of fine channels in the skin. The channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients, allowing for treatment delivery deep into the skin. Vitamins and amino acids are the building blocks for collagen production; during the treatment a combination of Hyaluronic acid, multi-vitamins and amino acids are infused to boost collagen production for firmer, healthier looking skin.
It also simulates trauma, which the body responds to by launching a natural healing process. When our skin is damaged, it produces collagen tissue, which is stronger, and firmer than before. Over a course of treatments collagen fibers are strengthened and the skin becomes stronger, smoother, and firmer, with improved texture.
Unlike traditional skin needling rollers, Dermapen® 4 causes less trauma and causes minimal epidermal (skin) damage, therefore reducing pain and discomfort, and making it a safer, more effective treatment. Dermapen® 4’s disposable single-use cartridges eliminate risk of cross- contamination, while the adjustable depths allow for a treatment tailored to your individual needs. Dermapen® 4 is so advanced, that it is even suitable and safe to use in delicate and hard to reach areas such as around the eyes and lips and on the nose.
