What Is Dermapen Microneedling for scarring?
Dermapen microneedling is one of the scar revision treatments offered at Inigo Cosmetic. This treatment is designed to address various types of scars resulting from surgery or injury. Dermapen utilises tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin which aims to trigger the body’s natural wound healing response. This process may stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, important components for addressing scar visibility and texture. By helping to promote skin cell turnover and encouraging the growth of healthy new tissue, Dermapen aims to address the texture and appearance of scars.
