What Is Dermapen?
Dermapen, also known as collagen induction therapy, or skin needling, is an advanced clinical treatment that uses medical-grade, micro-needles to penetrate the superficial layers of the skin. This creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, whilst also dramatically increasing the bioavailability of topical treatments and further enhancing their absorption. Dermapen is commonly used to address various skin characteristics, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and uneven skin tone.

DERMAPEN INFORMATION
