Works with your skin's own repair process
Because treatment stimulates your body's natural healing response, results build gradually and look like your skin, not like a filter.
If old breakouts have left scars behind or your skin has simply lost some of its smoothness and glow, Dermapen microneedling is designed to help your skin repair itself. It’s a popular microneedling facial treatment that also works well on scarring or stretch marks anywhere on the body.
The Dermapen microneedling device features 12 tiny needles that use proprietary technology to penetrate vertically into the skin, clinically proven to increase elastin and collagen production – giving younger-looking skin post-treatment.
The pen head has an adjustable needle depth that adapts depending on the skin condition and area on the face or body to maximise results.
A Dermapen microneedling appointment usually involves:
After your session concludes, you’ll experience mild redness and warmth on the skin as it will remain slightly inflamed for the next few hours.
However, everyone is different, so some clients’ redness may go down in as little as one hour; for others, it might be slightly longer. It is important to note that redness should be present for up to 48 hours, so feel free to contact us if you are still red in the targeted areas.
Dermapen treatments in Essex are primarily used to correct or improve common skin conditions, and patients can experience significant improvement once their series of appointments concludes.
This skin renewal treatment can help address skin concerns including:
Because treatment stimulates your body's natural healing response, results build gradually and look like your skin, not like a filter.
Scarring, stretch marks, texture and pigmentation can all be addressed in the same course, so you're not booking separate treatments for each concern.
Because it works mechanically to correct specific skin concerns rather than with heat or light, Dermapen microneedling carries a lower risk of pigmentation change than some laser treatments. This makes it suitable for a wider range of skin tones.
Dermapen microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with impressive results. By promoting collagen and elastin production through a wound healing response, many clients notice a more youthful appearance post-treatment.
Our clinical team is made up of highly trained, qualified aestheticians, so Dermapen microneedling is always carried out by qualified hands. Every consultation is free with no obligation, giving you time to ask about your specific skin concern before deciding anything.
Patients will be able to see significant results from their 1-2 hour session straight away, especially on very superficial problems, increasing as your skin heals over the next 6-12 months as you continue your treatments.
For the best results, it is necessary to keep up sessions, as in most cases more than one treatment is needed for more deep-rooted skin concerns, such as severe scarring.
If you do notice your results start to come to a standstill, we then have two options:
It depends on what you’re treating. To allow your skin to heal and achieve maximum results, general skin rejuvenation typically needs 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, acne scarring around 6 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart, and stretch marks 4 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
One of our clinicians will recommend how many sessions you need during an initial consultation for Dermapen microneedling in Essex.
During your appointment, patients will feel a vibration on the skin from the Dermapen, but should not experience any pain.
After Dermapen skin needling, patients can expect a range of symptoms, including:
For this reason, it is also prudent to avoid long periods in the sun as you may be more prone to sun damage, even with an SPF sun lotion on.

No. Dermapen microneedling uses fine needles alone to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, such as our Morpheus8 treatment, adds heat energy delivered beneath the skin for a more intensive tightening effect.
Our clinical team can advise which treatment suits you better during your free consultation.
You may not be suitable if you’re on blood thinners, have an autoimmune disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin condition such as acne or rosacea, or have open wounds.
You’ll also need to tell us about any history of cold sores so we can assess properly.
