Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions
Medical Microneedling is a popular treatment to improve skin. To provide you with best results, we use the most advanced needle cartridge innovation currently on the market. This device is called Dermapen 4®. It smoothly and gently glides over the skin creating millions of fine channels inside your skin. Because we apply high quality nutrients during microneedling, they can simultaneously glide into the deeper layers of skin. This will nourish your skin from deep within and, at the same time, stimulate skin cells to produce collagen. More collagen will give your skin a lifting effect and make skin look radiant and healthy. Blemishes, dark spots and freckles will fade.
Microneedling treatment with Dermapen 4 is up to 104% faster compared to other microneedling devices. Because of this, it can carry 80% more nutrients into the deeper layers of the skin. When it glides across the skin it automatically vibrates. This vibration calms pain nerves in your skin and makes the procedure a lot more comfortable. Most people do not have any pain.
Dermapen 4 was also specifically designed to treat acne scarring or other scars, which is unique compared to other devices. Also, the device is very safe and the risk to cause or transmit infections is extremely low.
Microneedling has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed in the world. This is due to the fact that it is highly effective and improves skin quite dramatically, at the same time it is inexpensive, simple and fast, no downtime is required. You are a good candidate for the procedure if you wish to improve signs of ageing and sun damaged skin, acne and acne scarring. It is also a good treatment option for melasma (brown spots on your face that are caused by hormonal changes).
We recommend three treatments one month apart if you never had this treatment before. You can repeat treatments up to every six months or once per year to maintain your results. If you wish to enhance your appearance before a big event, we would recommend you to have microneedling approximately 4 weeks before that.
Dermapen4 is a simple and effective treatment that usually lasts 30 minutes. Your skin will be cleansed thoroughly before the treatment, and we will perform a skin check to make sure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. We apply a numbing pain to reduce any level of discomfort during this procedure. The procedure will be finished with indulge ultra relaxing face mask from our high end DP range containing valuable ingredients to nourish your skin from within.
No. We will apply a highly efficient numbing cream before the treatment to reduce any discomfort. On top of that, the Dermapen 4 device gently vibrates while it glides on top of you skin. This calms the pain nerves in your skin and makes it a lot more comfortable. Most people report a tingling feeling when the procedure is performed. This usually only lasts for a few minutes and will be relieved by our ultra relaxing, cooling face mask that we apply after each treatment. Please let us know immediately in the rare event that this procedure becomes too uncomfortable.
Your face may feel a bit warm or slightly sunburnt for a few hours. Some people prefer to sleep with their heads elevated at 45 degrees the night after the treatment to reduce mild swelling and discomfort. It is important to avoid sun exposure for a few days after the procedure and please always apply sunscreen.
In the hands of a qualified medical professional microneedling with Dermapen 4 is exceptionally safe. A few years ago there was a scare in the US, and there were two people that very likely aquired HIV through micro needling. Due to this Dermapen 4 established very strict guidelines and protocols to prevent infections and transmissions that we have fully implemented at SATIN and follow strictly.
