Dermapen microneedling is a minimally invasive collagen-stimulation treatment designed to improve skin quality by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your skin’s natural repair response and supports fresher, smoother, more even-looking skin over time.
Best for: acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines, stretch marks (body), and overall skin rejuvenation.
What is Dermapen microneedling?
Dermapen is an advanced form of skin needling that uses a medical-grade microneedling device with a sterile, single-use needle cartridge. The device creates precise micro-channels at adjustable depths, tailored to your skin concerns and treatment area.
These micro-channels help:
- stimulate collagen and elastin production
- refine texture and pores
- soften the look of scarring
- support brighter, more even skin tone
- enhance the absorption of suitable post-treatment serums

FAQs
Dermapen is one of our go-to treatments because it’s versatile and results-focused. It’s commonly chosen for:
- Acne scarring + general scarring
- Enlarged pores + rough texture
- Pigmentation + sun damage
- Fine lines + loss of firmness
- Congestion + problematic skin
- Stretch marks (selected body areas)
You can often see an improvement in skin glow and texture after one session, but most skin concerns need a course for best results.
As a general guide:
- Texture / pores / glow: 3 sessions
- Pigmentation / sun damage: 3–6 sessions
- Acne scarring / deeper scarring: 4–8 sessions
Treatments are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin and the depth used.
Dermapen may not be recommended if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding (depending on area/products used)
- have an active cold sore outbreak (treatment area)
- have active skin infection, open wounds, or significant inflammation
- are prone to keloid scarring (case-by-case)
- are using certain prescription medications (we’ll screen this)
