Microneedling has become one of the leading skin care techniques worldwide. Thanks to the revolutionary Dermapen technology, it is now possible to stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin and effectively tighten it without surgical intervention.
The Dermapen procedure can be compared to high-quality laser treatments, with side effects limited to mild redness that disappears within 1–2 days.
In our clinic, we use only sterile, disposable Dermapen tips, ensuring a high level of safety and hygiene during the procedure.
Microneedling: A Bridge Between Cosmetology and Aesthetic Surgery
Microneedling combines high-quality active substances with micro-needle techniques, promoting intensive collagen synthesis and strengthening connective tissues. The procedure improves blood circulation, giving the skin a fresh and youthful appearance.
The choice of active substances and the depth of penetration (from 0.5 to 3 mm) depend on the skin’s condition and the specific issue being treated.
The result is a rapid and lasting improvement in skin condition. With regular use, the depth and prominence of scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks decrease. The skin restores its vitality, firmness, freshness, and tightness, becoming more radiant and youthful.
Effective Medical Microneedling with Dermapen 4 MD
In our practice, we use various devices for medical microneedling, selected based on the skin’s condition, treatment goals, and target area. Most commonly, we use Dermapen 4 MD—the most innovative and powerful microneedling system in the world today. Developed and manufactured in Australia, Dermapen 4 MD was initially designed for medical use and is now the international gold standard for precise and effective skin procedures.
What Makes Dermapen 4 MD Special?
-
Deep Penetration Up to 3 mm: Adjustable penetration depth allows effective treatment of not only the face, neck, and décolleté but also body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms, especially in cases of stretch marks, scars, or sagging skin.
-
Maximum Precision: Up to 16 needles and up to 1,920 punctures per second create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating natural renewal and collagen and elastin formation.
-
Targeted Results: Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, improvement of scar condition (e.g., from acne or surgeries), lightening of pigmentation, reduction of rosacea symptoms, pore narrowing, and enhancement of skin texture.
-
Hyperpigmented Skin / Pigmentation Spots: Effective treatment for uneven skin tone and dark spots.en.ruli.com+1Dermatology Associates+1
-
Safety and Hygiene: Use of disposable needle tips and a closed system ensures a high degree of safety. Even sensitive skin benefits from this gentle yet effective method.
-
Short Recovery Time: After the procedure, the skin usually only turns slightly red and recovers within 1–2 days without a prolonged recovery period.
Medical microneedling with Dermapen 4 MD is a highly effective procedure for skin rejuvenation, tightening, and renewal—gently, purposefully, and with the latest technologies.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
For optimal results, it is recommended to undergo 4–6 treatments with an interval of about 4 weeks, depending on the indications. After that, regular maintenance treatments can be performed to maintain the results.
The Difference Between Cosmetic and Medical Microneedling
Cosmetic microneedling is ideal for those seeking a gentle improvement in skin condition. It is particularly effective for refining skin texture, smoothing out fine lines, and reducing mild acne scars. The procedure is less intensive and does not require anesthesia, making it suitable for superficial skin concerns.
Medical microneedling, on the other hand, is designed to address deeper skin issues such as pronounced acne scars, deep wrinkles, and stretch marks. This procedure is performed by a dermatologist, licensed naturopath, or other qualified medical professional. Due to the greater needle penetration depth, it has a more intensive effect on the skin. Although this treatment is more expensive and requires a longer recovery period, it delivers more lasting and noticeable results. The use of special sterile serums during the procedure significantly enhances its effectiveness.
Medical microneedling is carried out exclusively by trained medical professionals. Because of the deeper needle penetration, the procedure can cause some discomfort, which is why a numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize pain. Depending on the area treated and the intensity of the session, the procedure lasts between 30 and 90 minutes.
Side effects after medical microneedling tend to be more pronounced than with the cosmetic version. Redness, swelling, bruising, and in some cases, scabbing may occur. These symptoms can last from one to seven days. Since the treatment affects deeper layers of the skin, the recovery period is generally longer.
One of the key differences of medical microneedling is the use of special sterile serums containing highly concentrated active ingredients. These are delivered directly into the skin through microchannels, significantly boosting the effectiveness of the treatment.
