Dermapen Microneedling

Dermapen Microneedling   is an advanced, minimally invasive skin treatment designed to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. Using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles, the Dermapen creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This process promotes collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation while enhancing skin tone and elasticity.

*Individual results may vary, and we cannot guarantee specific outcomes as they are influenced by various factors unique to each person.

What is Dermapen microneedling?

Dermapen is the industry-leading microneedling device, which works as a skin repair treatment to significantly improve the appearance of large pores, fine lines and is an effective acne scar treatment. It can also be an excellent tool to tighten loose skin after weight loss.It uses tiny needles attached to a pen device to gently puncture the skin, causing a series of traumatic punctures. The skin responds to this by naturally producing collagen and elastin to repair itself.The collagen and elastin created by micro-needling work to smooth and firm the skin, plumping out deep lines and improving the indented or red appearance of stretch marks or scars making it a popular acne scar treatment. As Dr Leah Clinics are a doctor-led clinic, the treatment can be enhanced by applying a chemical peel (Mandelic Acid Peel) to your skin immediately after your micro needling facial, which allows the chemical peel to work deep into the skin as the channels are open after being punctured by the Dermapen.
