SCARRING AND DERMAPEN MICRONEEDLING

Reduce The Appearance of Scaring

Many of us have encountered scarring on our skin throughout our life, whether it’s healing from surgeries, burns, skin conditions such as eczema or acne, or accidental injuries.

While some people don’t mind the look of them, it’s incredibly common to feel self-conscious about scarring, particularly when it is on the face or an exposed area.

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process and can be categorised into a few different categories:

Dark and light scars are superficial scars that generally heal quickly, within a few months.
Raised scars are often seen on “bendable” areas of the skin such as the knees and elbows – a result of stretching wound edges.
Keloid scars are thicker, raised scars which can become painful or itchy.
Indented Scars are the most common scar type and are most often seen on the face (including acne scars), these are caused when not enough scar tissue has formed and therefore the texture does not match up with the surrounding skin.

The Microneedling treatment encourages the production and distribution of new collagen that will work to build healthy, thicker, and firmer new skin in the scarred region, with smoother and more even tone

TREATING ACNE, PROBLEMATIC SKIN AND ACNE SCARS

Acne and breakouts can be incredibly frustrating, especially when we’re no longer teenagers and still suffering!

Both occasional breakouts as well as cystic acne can influence all skin types and all ages.

Dermapen Microneedling can be an effective way to treat acne and achieve clear, healthy skin.

What causes acne?

Acne can be caused by a combination of genetics, hormonal changes, health, stress, or environmental factors. The cause is all to do with oil chemistry – hormones stimulate excess sebum productions, meaning excess oil, dry skin, bacteria, and debris combined can become trapped in the pore, causing inflammation. The worst part is these breakouts can leave us with dark or textured scars.

How does a series of Dermapen sessions help to combat acne and acne scars?

If you’ve been trying all the gels, creams, and masks out there without much success, Dermapen Microneedling can be the ultimate way to reduce your congested skin and scarring, whether you’re 16 or 36!

The treatment regenerates the affected area by stimulating the production and distribution of collagen, which encourages the skin to heal itself. This is achieved when the 16 needle cartridge glides over the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound healing response. The result? An overall improvement in the appearance of problematic skin breakouts, as blackheads, whiteheads and cystic acne are reduced, as well as scarring from past acne.

The treatment stimulates the natural healing process in the skin, resulting in fresh, new collagen and elastin, and a rejuvenated and more youthful complexion.

To enhance this process, active solutions containing collagen, vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients are applied and penetrate the deeper layers of the skin through these tiny channels to maximise your skin results.

How does a Dermapen Microneedling treatment work?

With technological advancements we now have the advanced Dermapen4 device, with a dedicated Scar Treatment function to effectively assist in the treatment of most types of scarring on the face and body.

The treatment works by gliding a pen-like device over the skin, which delivers microscopic punctures (only a few millimetres deep) using very tiny needles. You won’t really feel this, as they’re moving incredibly fast in a vertical stamping motion.
