New independently verified review from Whatclinic.com for Dermapen treatment received at Hemel Cosmetic Clinic

How much does it Cost?

£200 per treatment session.

What is it used to treat?

The Dermapen is used for improving fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck and décolletage, to address and reduce the appearance of surgical, acne or trauma scars anywhere on the body. It can also be used to treat other scarring such as stretch marks. In some cases it is also used to address pigmentation problems.

It is suitable for all skin types.

How long does it last?

Noticeable results will be seen after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will begin to become apparent after 4 to 6 treatments, which being space 4 – 6 weeks apart, means after approximately 4 or 5 months. Your skin should continue to improve over the next 6 – 12 months following completion of the treatment programme, in combination with topical aftercare products. Maintenance or top-up treatments may be recommended to continue long-lasting results.

Side effects & risks

Treatment with the Dermapen is generally described as more tolerable than a manual dermaroller treatment due to the speed of the needles.

If the treatment is being performed at a very shallow needle depth then it is considered to be painless. Treatments whereby the needles enter the skin at a depth of over 0.5mm may require a topical local anaesthetic cream to be applied before the procedure. This of course will significantly improve your comfort during treatment, making it virtually pain free.

Erythema or facial redness will be noticeable immediately after treatment and will last for 12 to 48 hours. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.

You may apply a breathable camouflage make-up product, such as Lycogel® after treatment as this will seal the skin and cover any redness if you need to return immediately to work or other activities where you wish to disguise having had treatment.

Your practitioner may provide you with skincare products to apply following treatment and in the weeks between your planned treatment sessions.
