Microneedling with the Dermapen 4™ is an advanced skin renewal treatment that harnesses the body's natural healing response. The device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering a cascade of repair processes that produce new collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother, more even skin - without surgery and with minimal downtime.

About the treatment

The Dermapen 4™ is the latest generation of automated microneedling technology. Its precision-engineered needle cartridges deliver consistent depth and speed, allowing us to treat a wide range of concerns - from fine lines and wrinkles to deep acne scars and stretch marks - safely and effectively.

During treatment, we apply specialised serums that are drawn into the micro-channels, dramatically increasing their absorption and effectiveness. This combination of mechanical stimulation and active ingredient delivery produces results that neither approach could achieve alone.

Microneedling is suitable for virtually all skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage and body. Treatment protocols are tailored to your specific concern, with the number and frequency of sessions adjusted for optimal results.

How it works
  1. 01

    Skin preparation

    The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied. We allow 20–30 minutes for the numbing to take full effect.

  2. 02

    Microneedling treatment

    The Dermapen 4™ is passed over the skin in a systematic pattern. Needle depth and speed are adjusted for each area and concern. Specialised serums are applied during the process.

  3. 03

    Soothing and recovery

    A calming serum or mask is applied immediately after treatment to reduce redness and support the skin's recovery process.

  4. 04

    Post-treatment guidance

    We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule your next session based on your treatment protocol.

Frequently asked questions
Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most patients feel only mild pressure or a slight prickling sensation. Discomfort is generally very manageable.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on your concern. General skin rejuvenation typically requires 3–6 sessions, while deeper scars may need 4–8 treatments. We create a personalised plan after assessing your skin.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling works particularly well in combination with Skin Perfusion protocols and mesotherapy. We can recommend a combined approach tailored to your goals.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness for 12–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day or the following day.

Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions, with a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when performed correctly.
