Is there an age group that best suits Dermapen treatments?

Age is not a barrier to treatment, seeking out a Dermapen treatment comes down to a clients specific skin concerns, like acne for example, or wrinkles, pigmentation, scarring, visible capillaries, thin skin density, and/or simply the goal to pre-emptively ward off the tell-tale signs of ageing or to reverse the visible effects of ageing.

How does skin benefit from Dermapen?

The fabulous thing about skin needling, when done correctly, is it uses the body’s own repair mechanisms to reconstruct the damaged and ageing infra-structures of the skin and its deeper layers. Boosting collagen and keeping the skin elasticity for that younger, even, pump skin tone. It is the treatment of choice for warding off all signs of ageing as it is not a treatment that lasts just a couple of skin turnovers, or dissolves over time but rather it facilitates a cascade of ongoing skin renewal and improvement in the structural components. It stops age being a depleting process.

What things does someone considering the treatment need to know?

The Dermapen 4, is a standout device compared to others on the market. But the true results come from the technique, the products that are infused during the process, the preparation of the skin prior to treatment and subsequent home care, to facilitate the continued cascades created with the treatment. A thorough skin health assessment and a complete program is essential. A one off treatment without preparation will not give the desired results.

True needling is not this brutal, deep and high speed process, requiring numbing cream and days of discomfort. In fact it is the opposite. Cameo has fained award winning results without the clients feeling more than a light sunburn heat for 24 hours. The day after, it’s their normal prescribed skincare routine and makeup. There is no downtime, except a day or so of skin dryness a few days after treatment.

Dermapen has become a popular “lunchtime procedure” as you can go on with your daily activities as per you normal. Sweating needs to be avoided, so it’s a night off the gym. Sun exposure is the only high risk factor and should be avoided for 3 weeks, therefore a good zinc based sunscreen must be applied daily.

Typically, you can expect improvements in the skin’s appearance and texture after just one session. More than one treatment session is just adding to the improvement of the skin. After only 8-12 weeks, you’ll start to notice the lasting and more significant results. Your skin continues to improve for up to 12 months, particularly if you follow the recommended post-treatment care.
