WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling has been the go-to treatment option for scarring for dermatologists around the globe for many years now. Thanks to advances in skin-needling technology, microneedling can now be effectively used to treat and combat an array of skin concerns. “Thirty years ago, needling was just limited to collagen induction therapy – scars, rhytids and striae,” says Dr Andrew Christie. “Dermapen has revolutionised versatility and we now see its use across the aesthetic, dermatology, surgical, dental, gynaecological, urological, podiatry and alopecia markets.”

Dr Christie explains that Dermapen treatments are suitable for all skin colours and ethnicities as it isn’t just limited to the face – treatments can be used on the body and scalp, too. “The perfect aesthetic candidate for Dermapen essentially is the average modern patient – someone who wants their skin to look healthier and better, naturally smooth, clear and radiant and without the downtime, discomfort and expense of traditional laser, injectable or surgical procedures.”
