About the procedure
Dermapen uses small needles to create fine punctures in the skin. It may be considered for certain acne scars, uneven texture and signs of ageing. It is a medical procedure rather than a standard facial cleanse.
Your consultation
Assessment covers scar type, active inflammation, pigmentation tendency and recent treatments. The clinician explains whether microneedling is suitable and what degree of change may be realistic.
What to expect
- Assess the area and agree the treatment plan.
- Prepare the skin and apply the device at the selected settings.
- Explain recovery care and arrange review of the response.
Recovery and follow-up
Redness, sensitivity and dryness can follow treatment. Recovery varies with treatment intensity and the way your skin responds.
What to consider
One session cannot erase scars. Infection, pigmentation changes and other reactions are possible; any products used alongside the procedure need a separate discussion.
Common questions
Can I have it with active acne?
Inflammation and active lesions need assessment first. Microneedling is not a treatment for every acne-related concern.
When is the outcome assessed?
Changes develop over time. Your clinician schedules a review and considers whether further sessions are justified.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
