What Is Dermapen?
Dermapen is a modern form of micro-needling technology that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process. By creating controlled micro-injuries, it activates collagen and elastin production, helping repair and rejuvenate damaged tissues. Dermapen is especially used on the face, neck, and hands, and thanks to its fine-tip design, it can also be safely applied to sensitive areas such as the inner arms and neck folds. It is suitable for all skin types.
How Does Dermapen Work?
During the Dermapen procedure, vibrating micro-needles open multiple microchannels in the skin. These channels trigger the body’s healing mechanisms while allowing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, mesotherapy solutions, PRP, or CGF to penetrate deeply. As a result, the skin regenerates faster, healthier, and with improved texture.
Areas of Use
Dermapen treatment is highly effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:
Acne and acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Sunspots and pigmentation
Stretch marks
Skin renewal and rejuvenation
Scars caused by trauma or surgery
By enhancing collagen production, it contributes to skin restructuring and long-term rejuvenation.
How Is Dermapen Applied?
The skin is first cleansed and disinfected.
Selected solutions such as hyaluronic acid, mesotherapy serums, PRP, or CGF are applied to the target area.
Using the automatic vibrating needling technique, microchannels are opened to ensure deeper absorption of these substances and maximize their therapeutic effects.
Number of Sessions and Frequency
A typical Dermapen session lasts about one hour. Depending on the severity of the skin problem, 2 to 6 sessions may be recommended, with each session performed one month apart. Additional treatments can be repeated when necessary.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Before starting, an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The process is generally easy and comfortable. At the end of the treatment, a soothing mask is applied to calm the skin.
When Are Results Visible?
The first improvements begin to appear within 6 weeks, while the maximum effect is typically seen after 3 months.
Aftercare Recommendations
Mild redness or burning may occur but usually fades within 6 hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after treatment.
Refrain from intense exercise, hot showers, saunas, Turkish baths, or solariums for 2 days.
Use a water-based moisturizer and avoid makeup for the first 24 hours.
Side Effects of Dermapen
Dermapen treatment is considered safe and effective, with no significant side effects when performed correctly.

Dermapen is not suitable for individuals who:
Have had Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), isotretinoin, or Vitamin A treatments within the last month
