About the Treatment
Dermapen creates countless tiny temporary channels in the surface of the skin with fine needles, and uses the skin’s natural wound-healing response to improve its ability to recover. As collagen and elastin are produced, improvement can be expected in skin firmness and elasticity, pigmented acne scars, enlarged pores, sagging pores, and fine lines.
By delivering medications during treatment, further skin-beautifying effects can be expected.

Expected Effects
- Acne scars and craters
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Acne
- Dullness

Equipment Used
Dermapen 4
The Dermapen 4 used at our clinic has 16 ultra-fine needles at its tip, and its maximum depth is adjustable up to 3.0 mm, making it easier to deliver active ingredients than the previous Dermapen 3 (maximum depth 2.5 mm).
Some people notice results after a single treatment, but results become easier to notice with multiple sessions.


Treatment Flow
Counseling
We ask about the areas you are concerned about, propose a treatment, and a doctor conducts an examination. We also explain the treatment method in detail.
Makeup Removal
If you are wearing makeup, it is thoroughly removed with cleanser.
Treatment
The treatment is performed. Depending on needle depth and pain, anesthesia is used together to ease discomfort.

FAQ
-
Is one treatment enough?
-
One session can be effective, but clinical experience has shown that results are easier to notice after about 5 sessions.
-
Will it leave scars or cause keloids?
-
The holes Dermapen opens are very small and gradually close, becoming less noticeable within a few days to about a week.
-
Can I wear makeup or do skincare on the day of treatment?
-
Please avoid makeup on the day, and use only gentle products such as lotion from 6–7 hours after treatment. From the next day, you can resume your usual makeup and skincare.
-
Is there downtime?
-
It varies with needle depth and treatment area, but redness, bleeding, swelling, heat, and peeling may occur for a few days to about a week.
