Why Choose Microneedling?

Microneedling is not a new concept for stimulating and restoring collagen and elastin in the skin to tackle superficial skin ageing and other skin concerns.

But recent advances make the brand new microneedling pen I use in my clinic – Dermapen 4 – not only a more effective treatment but more comfortable for the patient too. This impressive device specifically pinpoints the correct skin layer to target. This means it has less collateral damage and downtime associated with it, compared to previous microneedling devices and techniques.

What can microneedling do for me?

A wide range of superficial ageing concerns can be successfully targeted by Dermapen 4. They include:

  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Open pores
  • Pigmentation
  • Uneven tone & texture
  • Dry & textured skin
  • Acne scarring
  • Rosacea

How does microneedling work?

The Dermapen 4 glides over the skin to create millions of tiny micro channels in a six-minute procedure.

The micro channels (or tiny ‘wounds’) enable a bespoke and condition-specific cocktail of clinically graded, powerful nutrients to be delivered deep into the skin.

These tiny micro channels not only facilitate the delivery of nutrients. They also stimulate skin to heal itself and regenerate. The treatment will restore the skin barrier function. (Depletion of the skin barrier is a main cause of skin disorders).

Is Dermapen suitable for everyone? Yes. This is a versatile treatment, suitable for sensitive skins and any skin type and colour. I am delighted to have been able to add it to the clinic menu at Laurie Arias.

The in-clinic procedure

A Dermapen 4 procedure treats the skin in 5 distinct steps:

  • Dermapen 4 glides over the skin, creating millions of tiny micro channels.
  • A bespoke and condition-specific cocktail of clinically graded, powerful nutrients are delivered deep into the skin.
  • A mild but powerful skin peel is applied, accelerating results because it too seeps through the micro channels into the correct dermal layer of skin.
  • A hyaluronic acid-impregnated mask is applied for 15 minutes to soothe and cool.
  • A powerful cocktail of vitamin topical cream, hyaluronic acid and a medical soothing cover-up.

The tailor-made products I use with Dermapen 4 are specifically designed and selected to address your own individual skin concerns. Hyaluronic acid is delivered into the skin layers for intense hydration. Collagen and elastin are stimulated, which will help with fine lines and wrinkles in general; whilst also improving skin texture.
