Microneedling is a new skin treatment getting popular these days. It is a minimally invasive therapy that prick needles into the skin, causing the creation of fresh collagen by ‘controlled injuring.’

The best part is you don't even have to go to a dermatologist for it since you can do it at home with a microneedling pen.

The benefits of using microneedling pen:

• It can treat wrinkles and fine lines

• It can treat crow’s feet

• It can help to repair damaged skin

• It helps in overall skin rejuvenation

• It improves acne and burns on the skin

• It can treat stretch marks

• It can tend to smoker’s lines around the lips

What is controlled injuring?

When the skin gets affected with a tiny wound, one that is caused by a minuscule needle, it hurries to react to the wound by generating new collagen and elastin. Collagen helps in rejuvenating the pores of your skin.

Once the signs of the aging hit in, our skin gets infected from the sun’s rays to developing fine lines and wrinkles. This diminishes the collagen content, and the skin starts to look saggy. The areas that have continuous muscle movements, the overlying skin suffers from fine lines that show up on the skin and starts to give it a dull appearance.

Advantages of Dermapen in place of Microneedling

Microneedling is sometimes performed at home using dermarollers but they often cannot inject deep into the skin.

Dermapen is suitable for facial contours as it uses disposable needles to stop the risk of cross-contamination. These needles come with adjustable depths so it could be suited to everyone’s needs.

The stamping that is done by the derma rollers causes less injury to the epidermis by making much smaller holes, which reduces discomfort and is done faster.

Dermapen is suitable for diseases like atrophic and surgical scars because it can efficiently dig deep into the scar tissue and break them down. This technique produces more collagen in the treated area, which in return gives the skin a smooth, soft, and restored feeling.

One can do microneedling at home, as there are many derma pens available online and tons of micro needling pen reviews that can help you pick the best one. Dr. Fay, a cosmetic doctor, once said that if you can use Dermapen in conjunction with right skin products as applied when microchannels to the dermis are open, putting maximum penetration to the dermal layer, giving much support to the growth of collagen and elastin.

How many treatments do you have to undergo?

The number of treatments you have to undergo mostly depends on your skin type, but generally, patients need around 3-6 treatments within several weeks, depending on the gravity of the treatment. Dr. Fay applies an anesthetic to relieve the patient from discomfort, and his patients undergo a ‘sunburned’ feeling and facial expression after the treatment.

Dermapen helps in Acne and Surgical Scars

Dermapen has microneedles that damage uneven scar tissues, produce new collagen and elastin and boost the growth of new capillaries to regulate blood supply. Dermapen are non-ablative, so they keep the integrity of the epidermis and quickens the recovery time.

The usage of Dermapen for fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles develop due to facial expressions after you reach a certain age. They can also occur due to sun damage, smoking, and poor hydration. All of this can be taken care of with Dermapen. It produces or stimulates new and healthy collagen that plumps out wrinkles and fine lines.

Skincare

Dermapen brings overall rejuvenation to your skin by repairing skin damage or by improving microcirculation in conjunction with collagen and elastin. Treatment by Dermapen thickens the dermis and improves the skin texture and skin tone, which gives a much glowing appearance.

How can Dermapen minimize pore size?

Your skin’s appearance gets hampered by getting enlarged pores from congested skin or diminished skin elasticity. In this scenario, your pores may be sagging. In this situation, you can use Dermapen to stimulate collagen and elastin, which will help to minimize your pores, keep your skin in good condition, and enhances your facial appearance.

Use Dermapen to repair stretch marks!

Stretch marks develop on your skin when there is tearing of the dermis. Using Dermapen will repair those damaged areas and boost the stimulation of fibroblasts.

Thus, we can conclude that using Dermapen instead of going for a microneedling session is safe and has its own benefits to working your way towards smoother, softer, healthy, and glowing skin.
