Discover the Miracle Solution to Acne, Pigmentation, Anti-Aging & Sun Damage: The Ultimate Guide to Dermapen Benefits

What is Dermapen, and How Does It Help with Acne, Pigmentation, Anti-Aging, and Sun Damage?

Dermapen therapy is a revolutionary system that combines a cutting-edge microneedling treatment with powerful skincare products.

If you want to improve the appearance of your skin, Dermapen skin treatments can target acne scarring, pigmentation problems (e.g. melasma), sun damage, and wrinkles.

But how does Dermapen work? What does the treatment involve? And what results can you expect to achieve?

In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Dermapen therapy before you try it.

How Dermapen Works and What it Treats

During treatment, a trained practitioner guides the Dermapen microneedling device over the skin in one or more target areas. Tiny needles protrude from the Dermapen’s tip and puncture the skin at a shallow depth, creating minute injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process.

A key part of the skin’s recovery relies on increased collagen and elastin production. These are essential elements of healthy skin. Collagen gives skin its structure, replaces dead skin cells, heals wounds, and maintains flexible tissues. Elastin, similarly, is a flexible protein that enables tissues to stretch and shrink back into place.

The human body produces less collagen and elastin as it ages, which is why skin becomes saggier and wrinkled. But by stimulating collagen and elastin production, the Dermapen microneedling system makes skin firmer, stronger, and more youthful.

The Dermapen microneedling device can treat a number of skin issues and conditions. It is an effective acne scarring treatment, and improves the appearance of melasma, sun damage, pigmentation imbalances, stretch marks, rosacea, and sagging skin. The Dermapen system can help you enhance your approach to skin care, anti-aging, wrinkles, and maintaining your overall appearance.

Dermapen therapy is more comfortable than less advanced microneedling treatments, which is a crucial factor to consider when trying this cosmetic solution for the first time. As it leads to less downtime, you can fit a Dermapen treatment into your routine easily.

In an expert’s hands, this acne scarring treatment microneedling device has the power to revitalize your skin with lasting results.

Benefits of Using a Dermapen on Acne Scars and Wrinkles

According to the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA), acne affects 5.6 million Canadians. More than 80% of those living with acne are aged between 12 and 24, but it can affect people far beyond that age range. The condition can lead to visible acne scarring on the face.

While acne scarring can be covered with makeup, Dermapen therapy is an effective acne scars treatment. A practitioner can use the Dermapen on the areas affected to stimulate elastic and collagen production. The skin will start to heal, and the acne scarring will become less visible after multiple sessions. You may need between three and six Dermapen therapy sessions to achieve rejuvenated skin with a smoother, clearer complexion.

As well as providing acne scars treatment, practitioners can use the Dermapen for wrinkles, too. By encouraging collagen production, the Dermapen system gradually firms and strengthens the skin. Wrinkles and fine less will become less noticeable, and you will have clearer, stronger skin.

Using anti-aging skin care products is a major part of the Derma therapy process. After your in-clinic treatment is finished, we’ll demonstrate how to use Dermapen’s at-home anti-aging skin care products and tools to maximize your results.

The DP Dermaceuticals skincare line includes products for your morning and night routines:

  • Facial cleansers formulated for your skin type
  • Targeted skin treatments for wrinkles, acne, and other skin issues
  • Advanced facial serums to stimulate natural skin healing
  • SPF treatments to protect against additional skin damage
  • Moisturizers and hydration products to promote a healthy glow

We also carry an antimicrobial skin cleanser, which may be applied before your microneedling treatment.

Dermapen Treatment for Pigmentation & Sun Damage

One of the many advantages of the Dermapen microneedling treatment is that it provides safe sunspots removal (dark spots).

Sunspots (also known as liver or age spots) typically develop on the skin in areas that are frequently exposed to sunlight. They tend to appear on the:

  • Face
  • Arms
  • Hands
  • Shoulders

Sunspots are most common in adults over the age of 50, though younger people who spend long periods in direct sunlight may develop them, too. You should wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun to reduce your likelihood of developing sunspots.

However, if you already have sunspots in visible areas and want to reduce them, you can try Dermapen therapy for sunspots removal. Dark spots will be less noticeable in treated areas after a course of Dermapen therapy sessions, as the microneedling treatment cultivates healing and new tissue growth.

Similarly, if your skin is affected by hyperpigmentation, melasma, or other pigmentation conditions, Dermapen treatments can create a more balanced skin tone. 

Hyperpigmentation is caused by excessive production of melanin, the pigment that regulates skin color. One or more areas may appear darker than surrounding ones, which can be particularly noticeable on the face.

Melasma is similar, though it may be caused by hormonal changes in pregnant women or by various medications (such as retinoids and birth control pills). Dermapen can treat both hyperpigmentation and melasma across several sessions, depending on the severity of your condition. Your practitioner will examine your skin during your consultation, and discuss the number of sessions you will need to achieve your goals.

Transform Your Look Instantly: The Secret to Face & Neck Contouring, Shaping & Slimming with Evoke

2/26/2023

FACE & NECK CONTOURING

What is Facial Contouring and Shaping, and How Does Evoke Help?

Facial contouring treatments offer a powerful alternative to invasive surgeries. Otherwise known as facial shaping procedures, these treatments reshape tissue, remove stubborn pockets of fat, increase definition of facial features, and cultivate a more youthful appearance.

One of the most original, effective treatments available is InMode’s Evoke platform. The Evoke face and neck contour device is an innovative, hands-free system for providing non-invasive facial shaping procedures.

Trained technicians can use the Evoke face and neck contour device to deliver thermal facial and submental treatments. It applies bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to multiple areas of the face and neck, treating tissue to reshape it and improve its appearance.

What are the Benefits of Facial Contouring & Shaping with Evoke?

Let’s look at the main facial contour benefits you can expect from Evoke:

Stimulate Collagen Production to Tighten Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is a natural part of growing old, caused by decreased collagen production. Collagen is a protein that supports the skin, keeping tissues strong and firm. But the human body produces less collagen with age, and the skin becomes thinner, loses volume, and sags.

Sagging skin is particularly noticeable around the jawline and jowls. Fortunately, the Evoke face and neck contour device stimulates collagen production in treated areas, evoking results that create tighter, firmer skin. Your face will look more sculpted and defined after you complete your course of treatments. It also creates a brighter, healthier complexion to boost the revitalizing effect.

Remove Fat for Stronger Definition

The Evoke face and neck contour device delivers RF energy deep into the subdermal layer. This heats and melts fat in target areas, removing stubborn fat that may not respond to exercise or a healthy diet. If you have a fatty build-up around your neck, for example, the Evoke platform can create a more contoured, streamlined look.

Treatments are Fully Customizable to Suit Your Unique Needs

One of the major benefits of slimming with Evoke is that treatments are fully customizable. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution: technicians can create a bespoke procedure to suit you.

Whether you want to focus on face contouring or neck contouring, the Evoke system can be set up to help you achieve your face shaping or neck shaping goals. You will have an in-depth consultation before your treatment, so that the technician can understand which areas you want to target. They will then program the system to create the results you’re looking for.

Pain-Free, Anaesthesia-Free Treatment

Invasive cosmetic surgery can disrupt your life for days, as you may need to take time away from work and your usual activities to recover.

But when you try slimming with Evoke instead, you can fit the treatment into your schedule far more easily. There’s no need for anesthesia or downtime: it’s a pain-free treatment from start to finish.

Evoke is Suitable for Any Skin Type

Another of Evoke’s facial contour benefits is that it’s suitable for every skin type. You don’t need to worry about being ineligible because of your skin type or tone — it’s highly likely that you will be a suitable candidate for a procedure regardless.

How to Prepare for a Facial Contouring Treatment using Evoke?

As Evoke is non-invasive, there is no real pre-treatment for Evoke face and body sculpting process.

However, there are certain steps you can take to maximize the speed and effectiveness of your facial contouring treatment. These include:

  • Stop smoking, as that can affect your body’s healing capabilities.
  • You may need to avoid certain medications, though this will be covered during your consultation.
  • Don’t drink alcohol before the treatment, as it can affect your immune system and healing.

You will be provided with all the pre-treatment for Evoke face and body sculpting information you need.

How Does the Evoke System Work for Face & Neck Contouring?

The prospect of trying facial contouring for the first time can be daunting. You may feel unsure about what to expect or how the procedure will work. Here’s a quick Evoke system overview to set your mind at ease.

The Evoke system allows for a hands-free treatment. A set of applicators is placed on the face and neck, ready to deliver RF energy to multiple areas. Once programmed, the system will begin the process automatically.

Fortunately, the safety features of the Evoke device monitor the treatment from beginning to end to ensure that the right amount of heating is administered to the right areas. The A.C.E. (Acquire, Control, and Extend) technology prevents over- and under-treating — all targeted tissues are reshaped and sculpted as necessary.

Your technician will be happy to explain the procedure to you before it begins, and will cover the safety features of the Evoke device for your peace of mind.

One of the most welcome Evoke facial contour benefits is that you can relax while the applicators work. Read a magazine, play games on your phone, or just close your eyes and focus on how amazing the results will be. Your facial contouring technician will be on hand at all times if you have any questions or want to pause the treatment.

Are There Side Effects of Facial Contouring Treatments?

Facial contouring is a safe treatment, with no side effects or risks.

However, you may not be a suitable candidate if you have a skin condition, open wounds in an area you want to target, or have undergone a laser treatment on your face or neck within the past three months.
