Looking to Restore Clearer, Healthier Skin?

Dermapen microneedling is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to improve acne-prone and problematic skin by targeting congestion, breakouts, post-acne marks, and excess oil. The treatment works at a cellular level to stimulate collagen production, accelerate skin renewal, and enhance overall skin health. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting faster healing, Dermapen helps restore balance, clarity, and smoothness, leaving the skin clearer, healthier, and more resilient.

What is Dermapen Microneedling?

Dermapen microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to target acne-prone and problematic skin. It works at a cellular level to address congestion, active breakouts, post-acne marks, and excess oil, while stimulating collagen production and accelerating skin renewal. By improving the overall skin environment, this therapy tackles the underlying causes of acne and uneven texture, promoting long-term clarity, balance, and healthier, more resilient skin.

Why Choose Dermapen Microneedling for Acne, Scarring and Problematic Skin?

  • Clinically proven, minimally invasive treatment for acne, scarring, and problematic skin

  • Stimulates natural collagen production and accelerates skin renewal

  • Targets congestion, active breakouts, post-acne marks, and excess oil for clearer, healthier skin

  • Supports both aesthetic improvement and long-term skin health

Dermapen microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to restore clearer, healthier skin and address acne-related concerns. This treatment is suitable for those experiencing:

  • Congested pores and frequent breakouts

     

  • Post-acne marks, scars, or uneven texture

     

  • Excess oil production or oily skin

     

  • Dull or lacklustre skin needing revitalisation

     

  • Sensitivity or irritation from previous acne treatments

     

  • Desire to improve overall skin health and maintain a balanced, clearer complexion

How Does the Treatment Work?

Dermapen microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural repair processes. This encourages collagen production, cellular turnover, and overall skin regeneration. When applied to acne-prone and problematic skin, the treatment helps by:

  • Reducing congestion and clearing blocked pores

  • Minimising breakouts and balancing oil production

  • Fading post-acne marks and smoothing uneven texture

  • Stimulating collagen and elastin for firmer, healthier skin

  • Improving cellular repair and tissue regeneration

  • Enhancing oxygenation and microcirculation

  • Reducing inflammation and redness associated with acne

  • Promoting hydration and overall skin comfort

The Treatment Process

Complimentary Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our clinician to assess your skin type, acne severity, and overall concerns. This ensures a personalised treatment plan for optimal results.

Preparation

Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Any makeup or surface impurities are removed to allow precise and effective microneedling.

Procedure

The Dermapen device uses fine, controlled needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates collagen production, accelerates skin renewal, and enhances the absorption of serums targeting acne, post-acne marks, and oil regulation. The procedure is minimally invasive and customised to your skin’s needs.

Post-Treatment

After the session, the skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Post-treatment care includes gentle cleansing, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying recommended serums or moisturisers to support healing. Multiple sessions are usually advised for optimal, long-lasting results.

Results and Expectations

  • Visible improvement: Healthier, more hydrated scalp within 1–2 sessions
  • Optimal results: Noticeable reduction in shedding and improved hair density after 6–8 weeks
  • Longevity: Continued follicle regeneration and scalp health improvements for several months post-treatment
  • Maintenance: Periodic sessions recommended to sustain long-term results

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-Treatment Advice
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours and always apply SPF

  • Do not use harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or active acids for 3–5 days

  • Keep the skin clean and gently moisturised

  • Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours if possible
Possible Side Effects
  • Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity similar to a light sunburn

  • Minor pinpoint bleeding or bruising in rare cases

  • Temporary flaking or dryness as skin heals
Risks & Complications
  • Infection is rare but possible if post-care instructions aren’t followed

  • Temporary hyperpigmentation can occur if skin is exposed to sun too soon

  • Scarring is extremely uncommon when performed by a trained clinician
Anaesthetics
  • A topical numbing cream may be applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort
