We are proud to announce the arrival of a new skin therapy system called the Dermapen!
The Dermapen is a multifunctional, microneedling tool which helps to alleviate and reduce many skin conditions, including:
-
Acne scars and wound healing
-
Improve wrinkles and fine lines
-
Minimize pore size
-
Improve stretch marks
-
Treat alopecia or hair loss
-
Improve skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenation
Compared to traditional dermal needling devices, the Dermapen minimizes epidermal damage which means less pain and bleeding. Dermapen is very easy to maneuver which allows us to follow the contours of the face. Additionally, since the Dermapen uses a vertical delivery system, the needles penetrate scar tissues without the risk of bending. Dermapen treatments have shorter treatment times, are they are less painful and have no side effects. Dermapen treatments vary in depth depending upon skin condition for which the device is being used. Light treatments are a great way to treat mild acne scarring and improve fine lines and skin texture, where deeper needling treatments may be necessary to improve more significant acne scarring, keloid scarring or stretch marks.
Micro Needling
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate your skin. Using a tiny, pen-like device with fine needles our esthetician will create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. This promotes active skin renewal, encouraging the body to firm and tighten the skin. Other amazing results include a reduction in scars (especially acne scars), pore size, and stretch marks. Microneedling is similar to fractional lasers and radio-frequency devices, but much more comfortable. Heat from lasers can be uncomfortable for some, and can potentially flare up conditions like melasma, rosacea, and can cause uneven darkening in skin of color.
