Skin Needling with Dermapen4

Skin Needling uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin under clinical supervision. These micro-injuries can support natural skin repair processes when used appropriately by a trained health professional.

  • Precision micro-injuries: The device makes very small, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries are intended to support the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

  • Stimulating skin activity: The procedure can help the skin’s natural processes, including collagen and elastin support, as assessed by a clinician.

  • Tailored to your skin: Needle depth, speed, and treatment areas are adjusted by a registered practitioner based on your skin type and clinical assessment.

Conditions Commonly Assessed

During a consultation, your clinician may discuss whether Dermapen skin needling could be appropriate as part of your overall care plan. In practice, microneedling can be used to support management of:

  • Uneven skin texture and minor scarring

  • Fine lines or early signs of skin ageing

  • Enlarged pores

  • Skin rejuvenation support following clinical assessment

Suitability and outcomes vary depending on your skin type, medical history, and individual goals.

Downtime & Post-Treatment Care

After a Dermapen skin needling session, your skin may experience temporary, mild reactions. These are normal and typically resolve within a few days.

    • Redness similar to mild sunburn

    • Slight swelling or warmth in treated areas

    • Minor sensitivity or tenderness

    • Occasional small pinpoint bleeding or bruising

    These effects usually subside within 24–72 hours, though individual recovery times can vary.

  • We will provide personalised guidance, which may include:

    • Avoiding direct sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen

    • Gentle cleansing with mild products to keep the skin clean

    • Moisturising to support skin recovery

    • Avoiding harsh skincare treatments (e.g., chemical peels or exfoliants) for several days

    • Following clinician instructions regarding topical products or serums applied post-treatment

    • Monitoring for unusual reactions and contacting the clinic if concerned
