Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is one of the best treatments for skin rejuvenation. The treatment is performed using the Dermapen, a device with very fine needles, that creates micro-openings in the upper layers of the skin. This allows active ingredients to be better absorbed into the skin. In the days following the treatment, the skin will activate collagen and elastin production to close the micro-openings, resulting in a healthier, firmer, and younger-looking skin.
The collagen produced during this treatment remains in our skin for about 2 years and is then naturally broken down by skin processes. For this reason, it is important to repeat this treatment 3 to 4 times a year.
Who is Microneedling suitable for?
- For aging skin with fine lines, wrinkles, and/or sagging
- For oily skin with enlarged pores
- For skin with pigmentation spots and/or sun damage
- For skin with scars such as acne scars
- For skin with a lot of irritation, redness, and/or rosacea
- For dull and/or thickened skin
Depending on your personal needs and those of your skin, we choose one of our 5 serums with a high concentration of active ingredients. This way, we can tailor the treatment precisely to your wishes! Regardless of which serum we choose, during this treatment, we work on overall skin improvement and rejuvenation!
Is the treatment sensitive?
The treatment with the DermaPlusPen is sensitive but not painful. Generally, clients experience a tingling to mildly uncomfortable sensation. The needle used in Microneedling does not cause permanent damage to the skin.
After the treatment
After the treatment, the skin will close the micro-openings with collagen, and the skin is "closed" again after 24 hours. The skin should be left alone for the first 24 hours, as it may feel somewhat sensitive or red during this time. In the weeks following the treatment, the skin will work hard to produce new collagen in the areas where it is needed. This process takes about 28 days, so the second treatment can only take place after 28 days. After a treatment, there are some important points to keep in mind, which must be followed for optimal results.
Aftercare
- Try to touch the skin as little as possible to avoid bacteria from hands.
- For 24 hours,do notuse skincare products or makeup.
- Avoid the following for 48 hours:
- Exercising
- Sauna
- Swimming
- Taking a bath (showering is allowed after 6 hours)
- Sun and/or tanning beds (throughout the entire duration of the treatment course, which is why we do not offer this treatment in the summer)
- Drink at least 2 liters of water within 24 hours after the treatment
Recommended Products
Using the right products at home is essential to achieve optimal results. After the treatment, it is important to continue supporting collagen production with these products. The vitamin complex serum is perfect for this, as it supports the skin in collagen production. Other products are determined in consultation with the beauty specialist to best suit the skin.
Course or Single Treatment
Of course, it is possible to undergo a single microneedling treatment, which is often done preventively. But if the skin is already sagging or there are other skin problems, multiple treatments are needed for optimal results. Often, 4 to 6 treatments are sufficient, which take place once a month. After this, you can support the skin by undergoing a treatment every 3 to 4 months.
