How Versatile Dermapen 4 Microneedling Is

As early as the 1900s in Germany, microneedling was first used commercially to treat acne and scarring. Then, in 1905, dermatologist Ernst Kromayer developed and used the first known microneedle with an electric motor to treat scars, birthmarks, and hyperpigmentation.

The device and technique were later improved in 1995 by Dr. Andre Camirand. He pioneered the development of a needle-covered roller that is rolled across the skin, creating tiny pinpricks. Then, just a year later, Dr. Desmond Fernandes used hypodermic needles with a small needle stamp to treat scars and wrinkles and induce collagenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen production. 

DermapenWorld first used automated technology in 2010 and has gone through changes and improvements since then. Dermapen 4 microneedling is their recent innovation, featuring increased speed and power with 16 microscopic needles. It can create 1920 holes per second, with a needle depth that can be adjusted depending on the skin issue to be treated.

How Dermapen 4 works

As previously mentioned, Dermapen 4 has 16 microscopic needles that pierce the skin vertically. The device quickly creates millions of fine fractional channels that can carry up to 80% more nutrients deeper into the skin. The micro-injuries also trigger a natural repair response that ignites collagen and elastin. 

The increased production of these essential skin proteins helps treat a number of issues, giving the skin a more rejuvenated appearance. It is also good to know that Dermapen 4 can treat hard-to-reach areas such as around the eyes and nose, as well as larger areas like the neck and decolletage, as well as stomach and legs for stretch marks.

So, what makes Dermapen 4 different? 

The inflicted micro-trauma caused by the Dermapen device allows the skin to spend more time in fighting ailments. This helps create a healthier appearance on the skin’s surface, improving its overall quality. 

• Has dedicated scar settings and protocols for revision of scars – This applies to both deep and atrophic scars. Dermapen 4 can help improve different types of scars, including burn, post-acne, surgical, contracture, and striae scars. It can also be used on old and new stretch marks. 
• Repairs the surface layer of the skin – This is through the increased production of collagen and elastin. It contributes to a host of benefits including improved lines and wrinkles, reduced pore size, and toned complexion, as well as tightening of the skin. 
• Promotes optimized cell function – The Dermapen 4 device does this without the risk of heat injury and hypopigmentation. This makes it an ideal procedure for those who have a predisposition to hyperpigmentation. 
• Features AOVN4 technology – This helps ensure that patients are at ease and more comfortable. Dermapen 4 is a virtually pain-free procedure, so there is no need for a topical anesthetic. 

What concerns can Dermapen 4 treat? 

Dermapen 4 is effective for addressing a number of skin concerns, providing skin renewal in different areas of the body. You can turn to this microneedling procedure for: 

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage
• Loose skin 
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation 
• Skin rejuvenation

Results can be seen after just the first session. Significant results, however, will appear after 3 to 6 sessions, scheduled 2 to 8 weeks apart. Your skin’s condition, furthermore, will continue over 6 to 12 months after a few sessions. Just make sure to follow the post-treatment care instructions. 

How to elevate or enhance your Dermapen procedures?

Dermapen 4 is a good standalone procedure, but there are treatments and product add-ons that can further elevate or enhance its results. At Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, we have several procedures that pair well with Dermapen 4 microneedling. 

Meso-Glide or MG-Collection serums – This combines Dermapen 4 with MG serums, which are special formulations designed for skin needling. They have sterile active ingredients and skin technologies that can tackle or address different skin conditions.

• MG-HA35 – restores, refreshes, and enhances the skin’s appearance
• MG-HA35+ – hydrates the skin and improves visible signs of aging
• MG-BL – brightens and lightens uneven skin tone
• MG-CLR – clears skin and addresses problematic skin concerns
• MG-R.A.S – helps reverse signs of aging and scars

Meso-Peel – This is a combination of Dermapen 4 microneedling and Über Peels, chemical peel formulations specifically developed to improve skin needling treatments. Über Peels can tackle different skin issues all at once, eliminating the need for complicated solutions. At Cutis, we use the Über Pro Peel, which helps promote cellular turnover while addressing several skin concerns, such as:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Problematic skin
• Signs of aging

Benefits of Über Pro Peel include: 

• Evens coloring and lightens pigmentation
• Refreshes/resurfaces the top layer of the skin
• Reduces lines and wrinkles
• Provides a softer, smoother skin appearance

Meso-Tox – This combines Dermapen 4 and a superficial injection of botulinum toxin type A (like the brand Botox), along with Meso-Glide or MG Collection serums. The active ingredients in the neurotoxin and serums are infused into the skin’s top layers. This can improve dullness and signs of aging for a more rejuvenated appearance. 

Benefits include: 

• Reduced pore size
• Less oil or sebum production
• Improved wrinkle appearance
• Tightened skin
• “Glass” like glowing skin

Dermapen 4 microneedling also pairs well with other non-surgical aesthetic procedures. This makes Dermapen 4 a versatile treatment, ideal for improving your overall skin tone and quality.
