Technologies used for cosmetic treatments have come a long way in the last few decades, and there are a lot of great solutions available for looking younger in no time, and with no downtime!

Each patient is different, so remember that some treatments work better for different people.

One trend that is gaining ground is the use of treatments that aid the body’s natural responses for anti-aging.

This has the benefit of ongoing rejuvenation, as well as using fewer foreign substances in the body, which makes many patients feel at ease.

One of these treatments, Dermapen^®, is a great choice for reducing and even eliminating lines and wrinkles.

What is Dermapen^®?

With aging, skin begins to lose collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkling. Award-winning Dermapen^®is a microneedling device that causes tiny injuries to the skin, in order to activate natural healing responses in the body, including collagen production.

A trained provider uses a sterilized, disposable needle tip that stamps into the skin, causing minimal damage, pain, and bleeding. The provider can customize the needle length for each area of the skin, making the procedure highly flexible.

What are the Results?

Results take several weeks to become apparent, but this is because it takes the body a while to start producing more collagen. After about a month, patients can expect to see improvement in both dynamic (caused by repetitive movements) and static lines and wrinkles, as well as overall thickening of the skin.

While the results take longer to appear than for treatments like dermal fillers, the effects tend to last longer, for up to two years. The price also compares favorably to that of fillers.

What are the Risks?

It is a very safe procedure, offering consistent and low-risk results. The injury to the skin is minor, and downtime is usually limited to a few hours after the procedure. Following these treatments, the patient may suffer from temporary erythema (red bumps on the skin), and the skin may feel tight, similar to the sensation following a sunburn.

Unlike fillers, there is no risk for allergic reaction, and the procedure does not require skin testing.
