• Rejuvenation: 4-6 treatments 4-6 weeks apart
• Acne scarring: 6 treatments 6 weeks apart
• Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments 4-6 weeks apart

For optimal results we recommend a period of effective active treatment creams such as Vitamin A, C or Resveratrol & Procyanidin to allow the skin’s strength to build-up (especially for thin or delicate skin areas). Continue to use these recommended solutions after the treatments for a period of 6 weeks.

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart). Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatment and when combined with the recommended post treatment care.

There are two types of Dermapen treatments. The first type calls for the use of an aesthetic cream to numb the area 15-40 minutes before the treatment, to allow for a deeper, more aggressive Dermapen treatment. The second type involves using Dermapen at a shallower depth, eliminating the need to pre-treat the skin with an aesthetic cream. Depending on the patient’s skin and the type of treatment provided, the skin may appear red and irritated for a few days. Specially formulated creams can be used before and after a Dermapen treatment to minimise this effect.

Generally no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Application of Lycogel, a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work.

• Day 1: Erythema and redness, the severity of which will depend upon the aggressiveness of the performed treatment.
• Day 2: Red or pink hue similar to moderate sunburn may persist. There may be some noticeable swelling on the second day
• Day 3: Skin may still retain a pink hue, or return to normal colour. Swelling subsides.

A course of 4-8 treatments of Dermapen per year, on average. As Dermapen results are essentially permanent; it is not like a treatment where it must be ongoing.

It’s recommended to leave at least 4 days after filler injections so that any post treatment bruising from the fillers can settle. Or have your Dermapen treatment 1-2 days before having fillers injected.

Clients who have had Botox treatments should ideally wait 2 weeks either side of having Dermapen treatment.

Injections are not a part of Dermapen treatment, so allergic reactions and side-effects are unlikely to occur. The procedure is minimally invasive, which means that there is virtually no downtime and the healing process is quick. Aftercare is also very simple and can be fully administered at home.

Side effects experienced with Dermapen will usually subside within 48 hours. They include erythema, stinging, itching and tightness of the skin.

Generally yes and it can be a good combination of treatments. You can alternate the treatments every 3 weeks. For example you can have Dermapen treatment first, then 3 weeks later a skin peel treatment, then after 3 weeks of the skin peel you can have your next Dermapen treatment.
