It is one of the most sought after treatments by men and women in the Miami area. Dermapen is a device that has a disposable cartridge with 12, 36 or 42 microneedles at its tip. These tiny needles make multiple punctures, creating microchannels to allow the penetration of active ingredients. The cocktail of ingredients will depend on each need and skin condition.

In turn, the fractional delivery of the needles stimulates fibroblasts, resulting in the release of Collagen and elastin.

What does microneedling do? The micro-punctures cause your cells to activate the natural healing process to create smoother, more rejuvenated skin. Your skin will produce new collagen and elastin, compounds that give skin its elasticity and resilience, as well as new capillaries to improve circulation. The process is minimally invasive and does not damage the top layer of the skin. Best of all, you don't subject your skin to harsh chemical peels or burning lasers.

Who is a candidate? Microneedling is effective for a variety of different skin problems, including:

• Acne scars.
• Skin laxity.
• Deep hydration.
• Fine lines of expression.
• Photo aging.
• Improves Sun Damage.
• It improves skin texture.
• Revitalizes tired and dull skin.
• Helps fight free radicals.
• Reduces hyperpigmentation.
• Immediate luminosity.
• Firms the skin.
• Immediate facial rejuvenation.
• Minimizes wrinkles.
• Reduces the appearance of pores.
• Reveals smoother, younger-looking skin.

Microneedling can also improve the appearance of scars and increase the texture, color, and tone of your skin. Depending on the active ingredients, you can also relax the facial muscles, for example with the substitute ingredient for Botox, our famous “Argireline”, which is non-invasive and completely safe. It is a treatment suitable for all skin types.

What assets are penetrated through the microchannels? It will always depend on the objective of the treatment. The specialist is the one who will determine the ingredients or the cocktails. They may include:

• Hyaluronic acid.
• Collagen.
• Elastin.
• Eyeseryl.
• Organic silicon.
• Vitamin C.
• Argireline.
• ADN.
• DNA
• Stem cells.
• Growth factors.

Is microneedling treatment painful? The type of treatment that the professional chooses for you determines the number of needles and the depth of their penetration. The needles are quite small and most people tolerate the procedures well, but if you have very sensitive skin, we will use a topical anesthetic cream before the treatment.

After the procedure, expect to have some redness, which resolves in just a couple of hours. The effects are seen immediately, but the most complete part of the treatment becomes evident in approximately a week.

How many sessions do I need? That will depend on each particular case. What is suggested to see lasting results is at least 3 sessions and no more than 6 sessions per year.
