Dermapen Procedures (Micro Needle)
Dermapen is an effective micro-needling system that aims to create a younger, healthier and smoother skin surface by activating the skin’s self-renewal and repair mechanisms. This treatment offers solutions to many aesthetic problems, from signs of aging to acne scars, enlarged pores to skin blemishes, by triggering the skin’s natural collagen production. It is a safe rejuvenation method that restructures the skin by taking advantage of the body’s own healing power instead of injecting a foreign substance into the skin from the outside.
The working principle of the treatment is based on creating thousands of microscopic channels on the surface of the skin in a controlled manner. This process, which is applied with a pen-like device with very thin and sterile needles at the tip, is perceived by the skin as a signal for healing. The body initiates an intensive regeneration process in the area to repair these micro-channels, and in this process, the production of collagen and elastin fibers that provide the firmness and elasticity of the skin increases significantly. At the same time, these channels opened during the procedure allow valuable serums such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and growth factors to penetrate much deeper than normal, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Thanks to this controlled regeneration process, a multifaceted improvement is observed in the skin. With increased collagen production, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is softened, the firmness and elasticity of the skin increases. A significant reduction in the depth of sunken scars and other scars, especially after acne, is achieved. It helps to tighten enlarged pores and make the skin texture smoother. It also offers effective results in eliminating pigmentation problems such as skin tone irregularities and sun spots. This application is successfully used not only on the face but also on the body to alleviate the appearance of stretch marks (striae).
The application process begins with the physician creating a personalized treatment protocol after skin analysis. Before the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and an anesthetic cream is applied to the application area for a comfortable experience. Then, special serums selected according to the needs of the skin are applied to the skin and the Dermapen device is moved over the skin surface. After the procedure, a calming mask can be applied to soothe the skin. In order for the treatment to provide permanent and most effective results, it should be planned as a cure rather than a single session. Generally, in parallel with the skin’s self-renewal cycle, a treatment plan of 3 to 6 sessions at 4-week intervals provides the most ideal results.
The feeling of pain, which is one of the issues that our patients are most curious about, is at a minimum level thanks to the anesthetic cream applied before the procedure. Pinkness and a slight tenderness on the skin after the procedure, which resembles sunburn, is normal; this condition usually disappears completely spontaneously within 24 to 48 hours. Although the revitalization of the skin is noticeable after the first session, the actual healing and restructuring effect achieved through increased collagen production becomes more pronounced after the second and third sessions, and this effect continues for months even after the course is over. It is an extremely hygienic and safe application thanks to the use of disposable and sterile needle tips for each patient.
