- Hair loss due to several reasons

What is Dermapen?
Dermapen is a patented pen-like device that comes outfitted with 12 tiny needles. The device works by puncturing the outer and inner layers of the skin to create micro-injuries, which, when they heal, enhance the regeneration of collagen and elastin (keep reading for more on this).
The name dermapen is derived from two words – dermatology and pen – which is the device’s physical appearance. This dermapen is used to solve skin concerns like the ones mentioned above, achieving brighter, tighter, and more rejuvenated skin.
At Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital, we also offer other skin rejuvenation treatments, including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and advanced co2 laser skin resurfacing, all designed to enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

How Does Dermapen Full Face Rejuvenation Technique Works?
As mentioned, the Dermapen device contains twelve needles that cause micro-injuries to the skin. By gently piercing the epidermis and dermis, this process deceives the skin into believing it has been injured, prompting the creation of fresh collagen and elastin.
The treatment creates small punctures in the epidermis and dermis, causing the skin to react as if injured, thereby triggering the formation of new collagen and elastin.
This technique lightly punctures the top and inner layers of the skin, leading it to think it has been damaged, which encourages the production of new collagen and elastin.
It gently penetrates the epidermis and dermis, fooling the skin into thinking it has suffered damage, which in turn promotes the synthesis of fresh collagen and elastin. These collagen and elastin encourage the body to heal naturally and result in smooth, plump, firm, and rejuvenated skin.
Pre-procedure Guidelines for Dermapen
Dermapen treatment should be performed by a registered and well-trained doctor, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist to ensure safety and excellence in the procedure. The doctor will consult with you, assess your skin condition, and advise on how many sessions are required to achieve a positive and visible outcome.
A skincare treatment designed to clear dead skin cells and debris from the skin’s surface is recommended for the best results. This can be done on the same day of the procedure at the clinic.
The Procedure – Dermapen Skin rejuvenation Dubai
Before the Dermapen procedure begins, the skin is cleansed in detail, and topical anaesthesia is dispensed 30 minutes before. To reduce friction, a layer of hyaluronic acid gel is applied to the skin.
The pen is held vertically in its proper position, and a small motor is switched on inside it. This will cause the needles to prick the skin rapidly as they rotate and open the pores, puncturing the outermost layer to generate collagen tissues and elastin, which enhance the growth of new skin cells.
How Long is a Dermapen Procedure?
The Dermapen procedure, which is non-surgical, takes an average of 20 minutes, with an additional 30 minutes waiting for the numbing cream to take effect.
After the procedure, you can resume work immediately, as there is no downtime or recovery time. The mild swelling and redness will go down within 24 hours. The recommended number of treatment sessions to see optimal results is three to six sessions.
Benefits of Dermapen Treatment
- Reduces scarring stretch marks and minimises wrinkles and fine lines.
- By puncturing the dermis and epidermis, it results in skin renewal, replacing old skin cells with new ones.
- The skin is tightened
- This skin rejuvenation technique has no downtime, as the patient can get back to their routine immediately after the treatment.
What are the side effects of Dermapen?
The side effects are minimal and bearable, lasting no more than 2 days. The skin tends to turn red as the pricks are made by the derma pen tool. There is a slight discomfort, and the skin becomes warm and prickly. The skin then feels dry and tight after the procedure.
Post-Procedure Guidelines After Dermapen Treatment
- Do not wash the face or apply any products, as the skin should remain dry for 6 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid stimulating medications such as glycolic acid or vitamin A for up to 7 days.
- A hyaluronic serum is recommended after 6 hours of treatment to hydrate the skin.
- 48 hours after the treatment, you are recommended to apply another copper peptide serum to reduce inflammation and enhance the healing process.
It’s important to avoid direct sunlight for about a week after the treatment, and you may apply sunscreen if you need to go outside.
Who is the Ideal Candidate, Dermapen?
Dermapen is a less invasive procedure, so it is considered a very suitable treatment as it has no severe side effects. Hence, it can be done on virtually anyone with the aforementioned skin concerns. Patients who are taking acne medication should seek advice from the doctor before undergoing the treatment.
What is the Cost for Dermapen?
The cost of a Dermapen procedure varies with the size of the area being treated, the number of issues to be solved, the number of recommended treatment sessions, the doctor’s qualifications, and their experience.

FAQs
Dermapen is a minimally invasive microneedling treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
Skin rejuvenation can help improve concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. Your specialist will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate approach.
A topical anaesthetic can be applied before treatment to improve comfort. You may experience mild warmth, prickling, redness, or sensitivity during or after the procedure, which generally settles within a short period.
The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and treatment goals. A course of approximately three to six sessions may be recommended for some patients, although your specialist will create a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Dermapen typically involves minimal downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur after treatment but usually settles relatively quickly. Your specialist will provide specific aftercare advice to support recovery.
