Microneedling with the Dermaroller and Dermapen

A dermaroller is a small rolling contraption covered with tiny needles, which penetrate the deeper areas of the skin. When rolled over target areas such as your cheeks, neck and forehead, the minuscule injuries perpetrated by the roller induce the formation of new elastin and collagen fibres – the structural proteins that keep your skin fresh, tight and youthful. As your skin slowly responds to the treatment, its texture and firmness is improved. Ultimately, there is a reduction of fine lines, open pores, wrinkles, and discolouration.

We also offer microneedling treatments with the revolutionary Dermapen, which functions in much the same way. Shaped like a pen – as its name suggests – the Dermapen features sterililsed needle tips made up of 12 smaller needles, enabling precise application. When rolled over the skin, the technique stimulates the skin’s own natural ability for repair. designed to stimulate the skin’s own natural ability to heal itself.

Both treatments can also be used for tackling cellulite and stretch marks as they rebuild collagen fibres below your skin.

Results are gradual and are cumulative, meaning you will require repeat treatments in order to achieve an optimal outcome. The appropriate course for you will be discussed with you during your initial, no-obligation consultation.

There is minimal to zero downtime.

Microneedling with the Dermaroller and Dermapen may sound painful, but discomfort is actually minimal. The sensations you’ll feel will depend on the length of the needle and the area of treatment. Generally, you will experience a warming sensation as the needles are rolled across the skin. In some ways, the treatment could even be described as a specific kind of collagen-inducing “massage”. Your practitioner will be happy to explain more.

Repeat sessions with the Dermaroller and Dermapen will be required to achieve an optimal outcome and maintain results, and this will depend on your own situation, needs and goals. A personal plan will be discussed with you during your initial consultation and reviews. Often Microneedling is combined with other rejuvenation treatments in order to optimise results and hit your goals quicker.
