Dermapen® W/ Dermaplaning

What is dermapen?

The Dermapen system helps you make a difference in the complexion of any patient using a micro-needling process. There are several small needles in the unit, but the needles may be changed to reach different thicknesses in the skin. The small handle on the device is easy to hold, and the unit itself is practically weightless.

The surgeon has room to maneuver carefully during each procedure, and the Dermapen will change speeds as the surgeon works. Changing speeds will help make each procedure faster, and patients will be left with far less discomfort after the procedure. Surgeons who commonly perform these procedures can complete work with their patients in fewer appointments, and each appointment will take less time.

Dermapen is designed to charge on its own base in the operating room, and the adjustable handle can be fitted to the surgeon’s hand before the procedure begins. Patients will experience a seamless procedure that does not require extra recovery time.

What To Expect

During your consultation we will explain how the Dermapen works, and you will see renderings that show the results we hope to get from the procedure. Your results cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy, but you will have an idea of how the procedure will go. Use this appointment to ask any questions about the procedure. Blood tests and a physical may be required, and we may want to see your previous medical history. A full consultation helps clear you for the procedure, and we will not clear you for the procedure until all protocols have been completed. Your safety is of the utmost importance.

Dermapen procedures are completed using a set of ten micro-needles in the device. The needles may be adjusted to help the surgeon receive the desired result, and each needle is a single-use product that is changed before the next procedure. A quality procedure will help the patient eliminate acne scarring and other scar tissue.

Acne scars are particularly troublesome for patients who have struggled with deep scarring in the past, and the scar will be smoothed over by using the Dermapen. The speed the Dermapen uses to create smooth skin helps to cover even the worst acne scarring, and each needle barely touches the skin during the procedure.

Recovery

Procedures are completed using the Dermapen in a matter of moments, and patients can recover in the doctor’s office after they have their procedure completed. Patients will see results, and the face will not swell terribly when the procedure is complete. Old procedures caused swelling and redness that was difficult for patients to handle, and the new Dermapen technology allows patients to go home the same day of their procedure.

The Dermapen procedure feels much like a spa treatment you would have at your local spa, but the Dermapen is only safe in the hands of a licensed surgeon. You will recover in a comfortable room at the doctor’s office, and you will have a moment to relax before you go home. The doctor or a nurse will check on your progress, and you will be sent home with a completely new complexion.
