What is Derma Pen?
Understanding Derma Pen:Derma Pen with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines the benefits of micro-needling with the regenerative properties of PRP. Micro-needling involves the use of a pen-like device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.
Types Of Treatment
Hair Loss Treatment:
DermaPen with PRP is highly effective in addressing hair loss and promoting hair growth. The micro-needling process stimulates blood circulation and increases the absorption of PRP into the scalp, nourishing hair follicles and encouraging hair regrowth. This treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing various forms of hair loss, including pattern baldness and thinning hair.
Acne Scar Treatment:
Acne scars can be distressing and impact self-esteem. DermaPen with PRP offers a non-surgical solution to diminish the appearance of acne scars. The micro-needling process helps to break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even skin texture over time. PRP further enhances the healing process, promoting the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
How It Works
- Blood draw: Your skincare specialist begins by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- PRP preparation: The blood is then processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains concentrated growth factors essential for healing and rejuvenation.
- Micro-channel creation: Meanwhile, the Derma Pen with sterile disposable needle tips is gently glided across the treatment area, creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. Needle depth is adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.5mm based on your specific concerns.
- PRP application: Once micro-needling is complete, the PRP is applied topically or injected into the treatment area, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deeply into the skin through the micro-channels.
- Collagen induction & healing: This combination of micro-needling and PRP stimulates the body's natural healing response, triggering collagen production, tissue repair, and comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Minimal downtime: Skin appears red like sunburn for 24-48 hours, with results improving over 3-6 months as collagen remodels.
