Dermapen 4 is a leading device used for microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy. Dermapen 4 features multiple fine needles that create micro injuries to the skin, to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This results in the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars and overall skin texture and tone.
Dermapen 4 is a pen-like device with multiple fine needles to create a controlled wound. The dermapen glides over the skin creating various micro channels on the skin that initiates your wound healing response leading to the production of collagen.
Dermapen 4 address concerns such as:
Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep our skin soft, smooth and supple. As we age, our bodies produce less of these key proteins, which leads to skin laxity and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Sun exposure, weight fluctuations and childbearing add concerns of their own, such as stretch marks and pigmented spots.
Microneedling triggers an increase in collagen and elastin production by stimulating the body’s healing response. When the Dermapen 4 is applied to the skin’s surface, it inserts small needles vertically into the layer below, creating minuscule wounds. The skin reacts by engaging its healing response. New collagen and elastin are generated to bolster the skin’s supportive structure and remodel the complexion.
An initial consultation with our practitioners at Kaya is essential to assess your skin with our VISIA machine to ensure suitability and design a treatment plan specific to your skin needs.
Prior to your first Dermapen treatment it is important you are prepping your skin with active ingredients at least 2-4 weeks prior to maximize results. The use of daily sun protection is also essential. It is recommended that prescription retinoids are ceased 5 days prior to treatment
