The Dermapen™ is a revolutionary micro-needling device which aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate skin. It can remove acne scarring and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, the appearance of pores and stretch marks.
Treatments available from 1192
The Dermapen™ works by puncturing the skin with 11 micro-needles through a spring-loaded automated function. As the Dermapen™ is moved over the stretch marks, this stimulates healthy collagen and elastin production which works to repair the scarring and encourages the skin to repair and regrow through normal physiological processes. You may experience slight discomfort during the treatment, but you can receive a numbing cream beforehand to reduce this. After the treatment, erythema (redness) of the skin can appear for a few hours up to a day. This will usually heal quickly.
