Dermapen 4 Microneedling
The Dermapen 4 microneedling device is the latest in skin-needling technology that works to rejuvenate the skin and decrease pore size with minimal downtime. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production in the deep dermal layer of the skin to encourage a youthful and healthy skin complexion. Dermapen 4 is the only microneedling device with a dedicated scar setting and protocols for the revision of all scar types including acne scarring.
How does it work?
Skin needling works by using micro needles to create controlled micro-trauma to the skins surface. The purpose of creating these micro-injuries to the skin is to trigger the skins natural healing response and to stimulate the skin to produce collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin will repair itself by destroying the old, damaged tissues and replacing it with freshly produced collagen. This will result in firmer and smoother skin, a reduction in pore size and pigmentation. In addition to this, your skin needling can be complemented with the application of DP Dermaceutical active skin care to encourage superior results and additional benefits.

Aftercare
Immediately after the skin needling treatment, you are able to return to normal daily activities, but avoid immediate exercise, sun exposure and alcohol consumption. You will experience gentle redness and warmth on the skin which can last 2 – 7 days. You should keep your face free of make-up that day. The redness can be minimised with a concealer or mineral make up the following day.
It is important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by CosmediKate to ensure the best results.
