Treatment Explained
Dermapen for body
Dermapen is a cutting-edge microneedling procedure that surpasses the traditional handheld dermaroller by delivering more precise, effective, and comfortable results.
Using the Dermapen device, which glides effortlessly over the skin, treatments for the face and body target and treat various skin concerns. The cluster of ultrafine needles significantly enhances skin tone and texture.
This technique creates micro-level, controlled trauma to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of new collagen fibres. Additionally, the treatment incorporates specially formulated serums enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants to boost the skin’s regenerative capabilities.
We offer Dermapen for body treatment in Harley Street and Colindale, London. You’ll have your treatment at one of our luxurious, award-winning aesthetic clinics, led by Dr Kaywaan Khan.

body benefits
Dermapen microneedling can be used on both the face and body to improve skin firmness, smoothness, and vitality. Its rejuvenating benefits include:
-
Promotes skin renewal
Dermapen microneedling creates controlled micro-level trauma, encouraging the skin to regenerate by producing new skin cells, collagen and elastin fibres.
-
Skin tone and texture improvements
By instigating the skin’s natural healing and regenerative processes, Dermapen microneedling leads to noticeable improvements in overall skin tone and texture.
-
Scar and stretch mark reduction
This treatment is especially effective for atrophic and surgical scars, as it penetrates and helps break down scar tissue. It delivers significant results for reducing scarring and stretch marks.
-
Dermapen vs. dermaroller
Dermapen is an advanced handheld device designed to replace the traditional dermal roller. While both tools stimulate skin renewal and improve texture, Dermapen has unique advantages:
- Safety: Equipped with surgical-grade disposable needles adjustable to various depths for tailored treatments.
- Precision: Uses a vertical stamping motion instead of a rolling action, reducing discomfort and enhancing treatment consistency.
- Efficiency: Creates tiny micro-injuries that heal quickly with less downtime, enabling deeper penetration into the dermal layer for optimal results.

Dermapen reviews

Emma Sinclair
I had stretch marks on my stomach after pregnancy, and nothing seemed to help. A friend recommended Dermapen microneedling at Hannah London, and I decided to give it a try. After just a few sessions, I noticed a dramatic difference! My skin is smoother, firmer, and the marks have faded significantly. The treatment itself was surprisingly comfortable, and the team made me feel completely at ease. Highly recommend!
Daniel Foster
I’ve struggled with acne scars on my back for years, and I was skeptical about trying Dermapen. But I’m so glad I did! After three sessions, my scars are much less visible, and my skin looks and feels healthier. The clinic is beautiful, and the staff are incredibly professional. Dr. Kaywaan and his team really take the time to understand your concerns and tailor the treatment to your needs.
Priya Desai
I opted for a Lanluma biostimulator treatment at Hannah London with one of their experienced practitioners. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the professionalism and care provided. The practitioner explained how Lanluma would work to enhance my skin’s volume and smoothness. The procedure was painless and the results exceeded my expectations – my skin feels revitalized and looks more youthful. If you’re considering biostimulators, I highly recommend the skilled team at Hannah London!
James Carter
I had Dermapen microneedling on my arms to help with rough texture and minor scarring. I wasn’t expecting such a noticeable improvement, but after just one session, my skin felt softer and looked more even. The treatment itself was painless, and the recovery was super quick. This clinic is the definition of luxury, every detail is perfect.
Amira Williams
I had deep stretch marks on my thighs that always made me self-conscious. After a few Dermapen treatments, they have faded significantly, and my skin looks so much healthier! The team explained everything clearly, and the aftercare advice really helped speed up the healing process. I love that the results continue to improve over time. Thank you, Hannah London!
The science behind
Dermapen body treatment
The Dermapen handheld device features a detachable, sterile cartridge tip containing stainless steel microneedles.
- Stamping motion: During treatment, the microneedles perform a precise, automated stamping action that creates controlled, micro-punctures in the skin. This stimulates the production of healthy new skin cells, as well as collagen and elastin.
- Hygienic: Each Dermapen tip is sterilised, individually packaged, and safely discarded after a single use, ensuring maximum patient safety.
- Customisable needle depth: The microneedling depth is adjustable during the procedure, allowing treatments to be tailored to individual patient need.
Dermapen treatment steps [please check these steps are the same for body treatment]
- A sterile Dermapen needle cartridge is securely attached to the device. The skin is cleansed, and a bespoke blended serum is applied to prepare the skin for treatment.
- The Dermapen device is used to perform the microneedling treatment, stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes.
- After the procedure, a hydrating mask is applied to the treated area, followed by cold gel pads to soothe and gently massage the skin.
- The treatment concludes with the application of a vitamin-enriched repair cream to further enhance skin texture and support recovery.

Avoid products with retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or other active ingredients for at least 3-5 days post-treatment. These can irritate sensitive, healing skin.

Three days following treatment there shouldn’t be any evidence that the procedure has taken place.

What are the benefits of Dermapen treatment?
Improvement in overall skin tone and texture
Reduction in the appearance of scar tissue and stretch marks
Promotion of collagen and elastinDermapen treatment does not harm the dermal layers of the skin. It breaks up scar tissue, increases collagen and elastin, and encourages new blood vessels to supply the area and accelerate healing.
Stretch marks and scars are caused by the dermis being torn. Dermapen triggers the body’s wound healing response to renew the skin cells in the treated area.
