What is Micro Needling (Derma Pen)?

Derma Pen Micro Needling is most commonly used on the face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles but can also be used to treat common skin problems such as stretch marks and scars on different areas of the body. Let’s take a look at some of the possible reasons to get a derma pen treatment:

To reduce the appearance of a scar: After the skin heals a wound and forms a scar, the body acts as though the area has been returned to normal. Derma pen micro needling can puncture the scar tissue and stimulate the skin to replace the damaged skin with new, unscarred skin.

To reduce the appearance of stretch marks: Like scarring, the body does not treat stretch marks as something that needs to be healed. Derma pen micro needling over stretch marks can initiate healing and promote the growth of new skin.

To minimise fine lines and wrinkles: The elastin and collagen induction caused by wounding the skin with a derma-pen causes skin to tighten and thicken, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Derma pen micro needling can therefore be considered an anti-aging treatment.

Micro needling has become a very popular treatment as it helps address wrinkles, open pores, acne scarring pigmentation, loose skin and stretch marks. Micro needling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep skin looking youthful, firm, smooth and radiant.
