Dermapen (Microneedling), What Is It And When To Use IT

Procedure preparations

Dermapen (microneedling) is a minimally invasive skin procedure that is used to trigger the healing process of the skin by producing more collagen and elastin (a protein that helps the tissue and organs in the body stretch). Therefore, the skin stays stiff and smooth, which makes it look younger.
Dermapen (microneedling) is done in the following cases: enlarged pores, loose and wrinkled skin, when there are fine lines, stretch marks, skin discoloration, and in the case of mild scars, especially the ones from burns or acne. Adding to that, dermapen (microneedling) can be used in other conditions, like alopecia and excessive sweating.
