What is Dermapen Microneedling?
Dermapen microneedling is a sought-after skin renewal procedure that treats a wide range of conditions.
Unlike injectable treatments, Dermapen microneedling is an entirely natural process that stimulates the body’s own repair and renewal process to create collagen. Micro-fine needles are adjusted to different depths and speeds to create fractional puncture channels on the surface of the skin. These micro-channels carry your meso-glide (a serum that’s chosen to help correct your specific skin concern) deep into the skin, increasing its effectiveness and delivering healing nutrients.
The superior absorption of Meso-Glides combined with a natural boost in collagen and elastin results in plumper, younger-looking skin.
Facial needling with Dermapen helps get rid of unwanted lines and wrinkles and other blemishes, but you can also treat different parts of your body. Hands, neck and décolleté are all popular zones, but you can treat anywhere you feel needs a boost of collagen to repair thinning, sagging, sun-damaged or problematic skin.
There are multiple options available on the market, for both in salons and at-home microneedling. If you’re considering microneedling, make sure to keep reading to understand the differences, as not all products are created equal. Some microneedling devices may do more harm than good.
When done correctly and in a sterile environment, microneedling can have rapid and impressive results.

Dermapen Microneedling Side Effects
Compared to other rejuvenation procedures, the side effects of Dermapen microneedling are considered those of a “lunchtime procedure”.
A successful Dermapen treatment causes erythema, which is similar to the appearance and sensation of mild sunburn.
Petechiae are small red, brown or purple spots that may appear on more delicate or thin areas, especially around the eyes. This can take 2-3 days to dissolve. Expect some pinpoint bleeding, but it’s very minimal in most cases and should stop within minutes of treatment.
Some patients may experience minor itching or swelling in the treated areas.
These possible side effects can be easily soothed with Dp Dermaceuticals skincare products and any redness covered with Dp Dermaceuticals COVER RECOVER.
