Dermapen™ at Hannah London

DermaPen is an advanced medical micro – needling procedure that overcomes the handheld roller micro-needling tool. The handheld device with an attached micro-needling pen glides smoothly over the skin of your face and body and uses a cluster of fine needles to target and treat the likes of acne, acne scarring, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and more.

The Dermapen is able to reach deeper into the dermal layers of the skin, targeting skin concerns such as acne, acne scarring, dark spots, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and more, making it an effective and non-invasive option for a Non-Surgical Facial Treatment. Additionally, the Dermapen treatment can also help improve visual signs of aging, where you will also see wrinkles, facial scarring, pigmentation, and sun damage decreasing.

The automated movement of the DermaPen minimizes pain and discomfort and promotes even absorption of topical serums and acids, thereby improving overall results.

Our advanced & award-winning Hannah London aesthetic medispa provides you with the best, professional, and advanced DermaPen treatment and chemical peel services in London.

This Medispa is led by a highly trained, skilled, and qualified team with medical directors administering and overseeing our advanced aesthetic clinic treatments. To learn more about popular treatments DermaPen, you can find more information in the Frequently Asked Questions section below.

How does DermaPen Micro-Needling Work?

The Dermapen handheld device has a detachable sterile needle cartridge tip that contains micro stainless steel needles. When active during the procedure the spring-loaded needles in the tip perform a unique automated stamping motion, making tiny micro-punctures in the skin, which results in stimulation of fresh and healthy collagen production and elastin in the skin.

These DermaPen tips come sterilized in individual packaging that can be easily loaded into the handheld device therefore each client gets a brand new tip. After the treatment, the tip is safely disposed of.

The Dermapen’s needle or the depths of treatment can be adjusted during the course of the procedure time and can be easily customized for specific treatments such as pore treatment, to a client‘s needs.

What are the steps of a DermaPen treatment?

Before the Dermapen treatment is begun, a cocktail of anti-aging serum is blended together.

  1. The sterile DermaPen needling cartridge is attached to the Dermapen handpiece.
  2. The face is cleansed to prepare it for the derma pen treatment. The serum is applied to the face. Then the treatment begins.
  3. After the micro-needling with the handpiece is completed, a hydrating facial mask is applied. Following with cold gel pads to soothe and massage the face.
  4. The treatment is completed with a vitamin-rich repair cream that can further help to improve the appearance of skin laxity.

Difference between DermaPen and DermaRoller Tool

Dermapen is the brand name for a handheld device that replaces the traditional roller or Dermal roller. Instead of a wheel covered with microneedles, the Dermapen is a handheld device designed to address all the issues with the traditional derma roller.

Both micro-needling pen and traditional roller are forms of micro-needling used to stimulate the production of new collagen by needling the skin, and also addressing specific concerns like pore treatment.. The Dermapen is equipped with surgical grade disposable needles for the patient’s safety, that can be adjusted to different depths so that the treatment is not too deep in sensitive areas, and tailored to individual needs.

During the treatment, Dermapen’s micro needles vertically stamp the skin of the epidermis which penetrates all skin types, textures, and pigments without the risk of damaging the top layer (epidermal layer) of the skin. The stamping action of Dermapen vertical needles is not only effective in minimizing pain and blood, but also offers a safe and consistent treatment method that better rejuvenates the skin. The stamping motion of a Dermapen also causes less trauma to the epidermis by making smaller holes than the holes made by a dermaroller treatment, resulting in less discomfort and less downtime, also allowing maximum penetration to the dermal layer, further supporting skins natural collagen and elastin production.

On the other side, the rolling micro-needling tool creates uneven incisions of the needles on, that can create damaging incisions in the skin leading to high pain, bleeding, and longer recovery time. Unlike the Dermapen, roller micro-needling is unable to get into the nooks and crannies of the face.

DermaPen is an effective treatment and is an ideal option for using on all of the facial contours; as disposable needles are used to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination,

DermaPen Microneedling is great for treating atrophic and surgical scars because of its ability to effectively penetrate and break down scar tissue. The precise technique results in increased collagen and elastin in the treated area, to give you smoother skin that looks refreshed, restored, and youthful.

However, we understand that everyone has a different pain threshold, therefore if needed a topical anaesthetic gel or a numbing cream can be applied beforehand to reduce any discomfort.

It’s also worth noting that the level of discomfort may vary depending on the extent of the treatment, more extensive treatments may cause more discomfort.

The Dermapen treatment is a very safe treatment.

HOW MANY DERMAPEN MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Your aesthetician will discuss your individual treatment needs and goals with you at your Dermapen consultation, including the expected number of treatments and treatment intervals depending on your type of skin or concerns, and the course of treatment will give you the best results.

HOW MANY PROCEDURES OF DERMAPEN MICRO-NEEDLING UNTIL I SEE VISIBLE RESULTS?

The number of Dermapen Micro-Needle treatments needed to see visible results can vary depending on the individual and the specific concern being addressed.

However, it is generally recommended to have a course of 3-6 treatments for optimal results. However, one-off treatment session can also show some improvement for certain skin concerns like fine lines, acne scarring and pigmentation. You will be able to see visible results of skin rejuvenation after just 6-8 weeks and will continue to improve every time. Your Dermapen aesthetician will be able to provide a bespoke treatment plan to best suit your needs.

CAN DERMAPEN BE USED ON ANY SKIN TYPE OR COLOUR?

Yes, Dermapen micro-needling can safely be used on all skin types and colours. Having the microneedling treatment won’t cause any inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your aesthetician will discuss this further with you, including any skin conditions you may have.

IS DERMAPEN SUITABLE FOR ACNE SCARS?

Yes. Dermapen micro-needling is an effective acne scar treatment. DermaPen has been used for several years to reduce acne scars. By microneedling, micropunctures are made in the skin, which breaks up fibrous tissues, stimulating the growth of new, healthier tissues. The needling depth can be adjusted according to the severity of the scarring, for example, a deeper treatment may be recommended for more severe acne scarring on specific areas of the face.

CAN DERMAPEN REPAIR SURGERY SCARS?

Yes. Dermapen has been proven to be effective as an acne scars treatment, as well as burn scars, injury scars, and surgical scars.

HOW SHOULD I PREP BEFORE MY DERMAPEN TREATMENT?

On the day of the Dermapen procedure, we ask you to avoid makeup and skincare products with active ingredients, so that the treated area is kept clean and dry for the treatment.

For best results, we recommend our clients to not apply any regenerative products that contain retinol or alpha-hydroxy acids on the skin, 3 days before the treatment.

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SKIN POST-TREATMENT?

It is crucial to protect your skin post-treatment by applying a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 for 14 days following the Dermapen treatment. However, do not apply chemical sunscreen hours after treatment or on the same day as the Dermapen treatment. Instead, it is recommended to use physical sunscreen. Additionally, avoid wetting your face for at least 6 hours post-treatment, and refrain from using any regenerative skincare products for 5-7 days post-treatment.

Sun exposure and tanning should also be avoided during the treatment period to reduce the risk of side effects. If you have sun damage, we recommend seeking advice from our aesthetician for a Sun damage treatment plan. Your Dermapen aesthetician will discuss your post-treatment skincare in more detail.

CAN I GET OTHER FACIAL TREATMENTS WITH DERMAPEN?

As Dermapen is a very specific treatment, it’s all about the timing. We also offer chemical Peels that can be do together with your DermaPen treatment. Additionally, Dermapen can also be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments to achieve optimal results. Your aesthetician will discuss your options and care with you.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DERMAPEN?

Dermapen is a very effective way

  • to remove acne scars or any imperfections in the skin due to blemishes
  • to improve the overall skin tone and texture
  • to minimize pores in the skin
  • to reduce superficial wrinkles
  • to reduce the appearance of stretch marks
  • to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin.
  • skincare products perform better after treatment too as they are able to better absorb into and nourish your skin.

Dermapen does not harm the dermal layers of the skin. This device breaks up scar tissue, increases collagen and elastin production, and encourages new blood vessels to supply the area. Because DermaPen does not damage the epidermis, healing time is accelerated.

Skin rejuvenation using Dermapen DermaPen can be used to address fine lines and wrinkles caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, and lack of hydration, by stimulating the growth of new, healthy collagen.

In addition to skin rejuvenation due to improved microcirculation, DermaPen treatments also give the skin a brighter look by thickening the dermis and boosting collagen and elastin production.

DermaPen minimizes pore size. The two main culprits contributing to the appearance of enlarged pores are congested skin and decreased skin elasticity. As DermaPen stimulates collagen and elastin to firm skin, pore appearance is reduced and skin is decongested.

DermaPen for Stretch MarksStretch marks are caused by the dermis being torn; DermaPen’s tiny punctures trigger the body’s wound healing response. As a result, this encourages the body to renew the skin cells in the treatment area.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY DERMAPEN MICRO-NEEDLING CONSULTATION?

Hannah London Clinic offers the Dermapen London treatment combined with the chemical peel London at our Harley Street and Colindale Clinics.

HOW LONG DO I NEED TO WAIT BETWEEN DERMAPEN APPOINTMENTS?

Micro-needling is usually done every 4-6 weeks. Most patients initially start with 4-6 treatments in order to achieve the greatest clinical effectiveness. In an anti-aging regimen, most patients repeat micro-needling every 12 to 16 weeks between treatments.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE-EFFECTS AFTER RECEIVING A DERMAPEN?

Depending on the skin and the intensity of the treatment to target certain areas, you may experience pinpoint bleeding only during the treatment.

You may also find your skin to be temporary red in appearance. This is completely normal and can last between a couple of hours to 24 hours post-treatment depending on the treatment intensity. In addition, skin may also be tight, warm and dry. 3 days after treatment there shouldn’t be any evidence or side-effects that the treatment has taken place, only beautiful skin revealed.
