Skin Enhancement

Dermapen is a popular brand of microneedling device that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and effectively rejuvenate the skin. While people use the term Dermapen interchangeably with microneedling, Dermapen® is actually a trademarked brand that makes microneedles. If you’re leading a hectic and busy life with little to no time for daily skincare routines, clinical skincare treatments might be the best option for you. One of the most common requirements for all of us is to make our skin a bit more firmer and smoother. A little younger is stretching it too far but it is actually possible. With so many skincare treatments out there promising to erase fine lines, fade acne scars, and give you that glow, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Ideally, you want to look for less invasive techniques that would make you feel comfortable throughout the process. If there’s one treatment that has been making serious waves in the beauty world, it’s microneedling—and more specifically, Dermapen microneedling. Before it gets any more confusing, we’ve put together a guide for you to understand what Dermapen is. Is the hype real though? How does it differ from traditional microneedling, is it safe, and how often should you do Dermapen to get the best results? Let’s break it all down so you can decide if Dermapen is the right skincare upgrade for you! What is Dermapen? So before you learn about Dermapen treatment, it would be better to know a bit about microneedling. It’s a process of using microneedles to create micro-injuries in the skin, specifically to the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer).  Wait, what? Injuries? Don’t stress yourself with the word “injury”, the stress is on the word “micro” here. These so-called “micro injuries” are practically bland that you probably won’t feel anything. But what it does do is it triggers the body’s innate ability to repair itself. And repair calls for the new and shiny cells! In the process, the body boosts the production of collagen and elastin, which consequently makes your skin better than it already is. How Does Microneedling Work? Collagen is like the building block of your skin. It’s the most abundant protein in your body that keeps your skin firm, plump, and youthful. It provides structure, strength, and elasticity to your skin, helping to prevent sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines.  As you age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to looser skin and visible signs of aging. You might want to stimulate the production of collagen. There are protein supplements and collagen powders you can take, but what you might want is a process that’s a bit more invasive. And that’s where microneedling comes in. When you’re allowing microneedles to make small holes into your skins, it kickstarts the growth of fibroblast cells that will stimulate the production of collagen. Now, overproduction here is not a bad thing as you need it for your skin. When those trenchant yet delicate needles make unnoticeable piercing into your skin, it’s secretly witnessing a massive increase in the collagen production. What more do you want to make your skin smoother, firmer, and youthful? For obvious reasons, microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy and it’s a very effective method among non-surgical treatments to help you eliminate acne scars, stretch marks and pores. So you know microneedling involves the use of sophisticated devices called microneedles to create small holes into the skin. There are several brands of microneedles available in the market like Dr. Pen, SkinPen, DermaRoller, and CosmoPen, but Dermapen® is perhaps the most prominent brand due to its state of the art technology, unique design, and ease of use. Is Microneedling and Dermapen the Same? Are Jacuzzi and hot tubs the same? Exactly our point. Just like Jacuzzi is a brand that makes hot tubs and bath tubs, Dermapen® a brand, arguably the most popular, that makes microneedles. It’s so popular that cosmetic professionals even use the term Dermapen microneedling. Traditional microneedling like derma rollers uses a rolling mechanism with fixed needles, which can sometimes tug at the skin unevenly. Dermapen, on the other hand, is motorized, which means it delivers precise, controlled micro-injuries without dragging or pulling your skin.
