The Dermapen 4™ needling only takes 8-12 mins, however this is a deluxe treatment so the appointment time allocates 60 mins.

We ask that you arrive with no makeup (please do not apply any type of eye makeup before arriving). 

After your skin is cleansed and sterilised, a cocktail of specially chosen meso-infusions of active serums to target your main skin concerns are mixed and applied to the skin during your treatment to intensify the results.

A one-use only sterile cartridge is opened and attached to the Dermapen 4™ device. After your micro-needling (which takes about 8/12 mins depending on which areas we are treating) a copper peptide and triple-weighted hyaluronic acid sterile cloth mask is applied to the skin and cooling cry-balls are massaged over the top.

The Dermalux NIR light is then applied for 20 mins. Your skin is finished with a specially chosen healing cream and a medical-grade concealing sunscreen which will make the skin feel calm and cool.

 The face and neck is included in your treatment time and cost. 

Your first treatment will include an in-depth consultation so we can discuss your individual skins needs and design a treatment plan which will best help your skin goals.

There’s simply no comparison to the Dermapen 4™; it’s the most advanced microneedling device available and the original vertical microneedling device. As the first and only digital device in the world, it combines bluetooth, dual power to offer the fastest micro-needling treatment on the planet, with no fluid back flow, no cross- contamination or drag and is CE marked and FDA approved.

Dermapen can improve skin texture, rosacea, and sun damage, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and result in a smoother, more radiant complexion with increased collagen production. It is a fantastic all rounder treatment with clinically proven results.

Results can be seen as soon as 2 weeks after the first treatment and continued improvement up to 12 months post treatment. The best, and more progressive results are achieved as follows:

• Pigmentation - 4-6 treatments at 2-4 weeks apart
• Rejuvenation - 3-6 treatments at 6-8 weeks apart
• Scarring - 4-6 treatments at 2-4 weeks apart

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

While it is not the most relaxing of treatments, some discomfort may happen depending on how deep we choose to go (depending on the type of skin issue we are trying to improve). It must be said that this is the most comfortable automated, micro needling device on the market. It’s incredibly fast and the spring-loaded needle cartridge means the “needling part’ of the treatment is over before you know it. I will always try to ensure you are relaxed and can instantly adjust the needle depth if you are experiencing anything uncomfortable. 

Topical aesthetic is neither required or recommended by Dermapen™, firstly, because the width of the 16 micro-needles is tiny (0.1mm) along with the oscillation speed. 

Secondly, the 90 degree angle they enter the skin and the fact that we can change the depth on different parts of the face (eg more gentle around the eyes) means that it’s a much more comfortable micro-needling device compared to any other (the old-style DermaRollers entered the skin at 45 degree angles, which was very uncomfortable). 

Thirdly, applying topical anaesthetic cream actually interferes with the collagen induction mechanisms, meaning your results would be greatly reduced.

Generally there is no downtime, but you may experience facial redness/inflammation for 12-48 hours after the treatment and then dry/tightness/Petechiae 48/72 hours. 

Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. We recommend you follow our post-care instructions (given to you at the time of booking your treatment) which includes applying sunscreen for a minimum of 10 days post needling. We apply a soothing, medical grade, concealing sunscreen on your skin so you can return to work straight after your service.

After your Dermapen 4™ avoid  in-salon/clinic aesthetic services such as laser/ IPL/radio frequency/peels/Dermal fillers for at least 4-6 weeks  and do not use any AHA, Tret/Retinods or topical medications in the treatment area (unless recommended by your Doctor with their knowledge of this treatment) for at least 2 weeks. 

Do not colour your hair/lash/brows for a min of 2 weeks and avoid spray tanning (self-tan) products for 10 days.

Here’s a timeline guide as to how your skin might be post-Dermapen.
