How Many Dermapen Sessions Will You Need?

The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, their severity and how your skin responds to treatment.

A course of approximately three to six sessions may be considered for some concerns, with appointments commonly spaced several weeks apart. However, this is not suitable for everyone, and your clinician will recommend an individual schedule following assessment.

Some patients may notice an improvement in skin brightness or texture relatively soon, while changes associated with collagen production develop more gradually over subsequent weeks.

Maintenance treatment may be considered depending on your goals and response.

Who Is Suitable for Dermapen Microneedling?

Dermapen microneedling may be suitable for adults who want to improve selected concerns involving skin texture, fine lines or acne scarring.

However, it is not appropriate for everyone. Your clinician needs to assess your skin and medical history before recommending treatment. Active skin infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, impaired wound healing and some medications or medical conditions may affect suitability.

Tell your clinician about any current skin problems, cold sores, allergies, medications, previous treatments or history of pigmentation changes before proceeding. Do not undergo treatment on irritated or infected skin without appropriate professional advice.

Your consultation will help establish whether microneedling is a suitable choice or whether an alternative treatment may better meet your needs.
