Dermapen is the name for the most popular microneedling device in London. Microneedling is the process of making tiny punctures in the skin in order to ‘trick’ the body into thinking that it is injured. Injured skin heals very effectively, with the new skin being younger, healthier and rich in collagen and elastin.
There’s more than one benefit to the microneedling treatment at our London clinics. Microneedling allows us to gently infuse essential skin ingredients through the tiny channels created in the skin. This is called Mesotherapy – it makes the absorption of these products much more effective than applying skin creams topically, where absorption is often very minimal.
At Simply Clinics, we also offer advanced skin needling techniques by combining microneedling with additional add-on treatments in order to further enhance the results.These include microdermabrasion, chemical peels and radiofrequency. At Simply Clinics, we use the Dermapen® approved DP4 device.
We are now offering Microneedling on the hands as an ‘add-on’ to our service.
FAQ
A.Dermapen uses AOVN technology to puncture the skin using sterile surgical grade needles that smoothly glide over, creating thousands of tiny channels in the skin as it goes. These small channels are perceived as trauma by the skin but are not visible to the naked eye. This triggers the skins’ repair processes and activation of skin cells such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts and growth factors. Following this, the production of new collagen that renews and repairs the skin layer is encouraged. The development of these tiny channels also allows us to deliver specially formulated skin products to help treat your specific skin care concerns.
A.We offer multiple add-on options to our Dermapen Microneedling treatment. These include Mandelic Peel, Microdermabrasion, Radiofrequency Skin Tightening or Mesotherapy with Retinol, Bright Light or Anti Oxidant Cocktail.
A.It depends on the condition being treated, however, for most skin concerns you will notice a difference after just one treatment. The benefits are often seen within the first two weeks, however, the treatment stimulates the skin rejuvenation process which continues maturing for several months.
A.Treatment of the face/neck takes 30-45 minutes and sessions are usually spaced four-five weeks apart, depending on the conditions being treated and the health of your skin. Pigmentation can be treated every two weeks.
A.Yes, the collagen and elastin stimulated in this treatment continues to mature for up to two years after your treatment. However, your skin will continue to age with time and therefore it is important that you maintain treatments every 3-6 months to keep the skin healthy.
Q.
Is it safe?
