Dermapen effectively addresses uneven skin pigmentation. While individual results may vary, many patients see a noticeable fading of dark spots and a more even skin tone over the course of treatments. Results are most effective when combined with a tailored post-treatment care plan, which may include lightening products. Patients need to have realistic expectations and understand that Dermapen can assist with improving pigmented lesions as part of a comprehensive approach to skin health.

While you likely associate needles with pain, Dermapen micro-needling has been designed with patient comfort in mind. The Dermapen device uses fine needles that merely penetrate the skin’s most superficial layers, resulting in minimal discomfort. Before the procedure, we apply a topical anaesthetic cream to numb the treatment area and reduce any potential pain. Pain tolerance can vary by individual, but many describe the sensation as a light prickling or slight abrasiveness.
