What is Dermapen Microneedling: Benefits and Uses Microneedling is a method used by some dermatologists to treat various skin conditions. This technique uses multiple threads of sterilized needles to puncture the skin and create a shock to the body. This shock leads to the rebuilding of the dermis, the deep layer of the skin, and may help treat many skin-related issues, including: • Wrinkles • Acne scars • Alopecia problems • Skin pigmentation issues and stretch marks • Loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction, to rejuvenate the skin. Guide to Needle Speed: When using microneedling, it is important to set the device to the optimal level for the area of skin you are treating. This will ensure the best results and maintain your skin’s comfort during the procedure. Most Dermapen microneedling pens have a speed range from 1 to 5. Generally, the faster the speed of the microneedling pen, the deeper and stronger the needle penetration into the skin. If you are using the pen on your face or other sensitive areas, we recommend using a lower speed, which gives you more precise control of the pen and its movement. If you are new to microneedling, we also recommend starting with a lower speed, as this allows you to learn how the pen moves and get accustomed to using the device. As you build control and confidence, you may enjoy adjusting the speed accordingly. If you are performing microneedling on the body, you might want to set the pen to a higher speed, for example when treating stretch marks, deep scars, or deep wrinkles. Recommended Area and Speed: Face: 1-4 Body: 4-5 Forehead: 1-3 Between the eyebrows: 1-3 Nose: 1-2 Around the eyes: 1-3 Cheekbone: 1-3 Cheek: 2-4 Around the lips: 1-2 Usage Guide: (Very Important) Microneedling can be performed once a month. Do not overuse it to reduce bleeding. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications or any alcoholic substances for 3 days before treatment. • Clean the skin and tie the hair back: Any dirt, oil, or hair on the skin increases the risk of infection or skin irritation. Clean your skin twice (clean and repeat) using your chosen cleanser to remove all makeup and residue. Tie your hair completely back, away from your face. • Apply anesthetic cream (optional): If your skin is sensitive, you can buy over-the-counter anesthetic cream from any pharmacy. We recommend using a cream containing at least 5% lidocaine. • Apply about 1/3 to 1/2 of the tube to the area where the needle will be inserted and leave it for 20 minutes before removing the cream completely. • After removing the cream, clean the skin again. • The anesthetic ointment can be wiped off using 0.1% chlorhexidine or 60% alcohol plus sterile water. • Before microneedling, use a moisturizer like hyaluronic acid to soften the skin, helping the needles glide smoothly and preventing pulling. • Do not use vitamin C (as it may cause an allergic reaction), retinol, scrubs (masks), or skin-lightening ingredients. • Make sure to charge the device (if using a wireless device) or, if using while plugged in, ensure you are near a power source.
