Dermapen Treatment Specialist in New Bern, NC

Dermapen is a type of micro-needling procedure that is a highly sought-after treatment method for signs of aging and treatment and wrinkles. Dermapens can treat many skin concerns besides signs of aging; like skin sagging and wrinkles. It has also been proven to be effective when used to treat sunspots and problem skin such as those who have acne or acne scars. Many patients seek Dermapen treatment because it is a minimally invasive procedure. Some patients will also seek Dermapen treatment because it is a natural procedure and does not involve products such as fillers or surgery to get the results they are looking for in their appearance. Dermapen treatment is also known by other names such as skin needling, Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T), Scar Rejuvenation Therapy (S.R.T), and Percutaneous Collagen Induction (P.C.I.). Because of the way Dermapen has been developed and the design of the device to treat the skin, there is a reduced risk of damaging the skin more than necessary, meaning that compared to some methods available, the Dermapen will also be less painful and irritate the skin less.

Dermapen treatments use a minimally invasive process that involves using micro-needles that puncture the skin. By doing so, it stimulates the skin to create healing factors that include collagen and elastin which will build up as the skin heals creating a more youthful appearance. Some may be concerned about the idea of the skin being punctured by small needles, however, Dermapen treatment has been around for a very long time, and because of this, there are improved safety measures compared to some other treatment options available. When done in a safe environment that is overseen by a medical professional, patients will receive the safest available treatment.

Dermapen is well known for its ability to create a more youthful appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, but it can also be used to treat many skin conditions. Patients who undergo Dermapen treatment can use it for skin concerns such as acne scarring, skin rosacea, acne outbreaks, hyperpigmentation, scars, and enlarged pores. It is also a viable option for those who have stretch marks and hair loss since Dermapen treatment can be used on the body besides just to treat the skin of the face.

The amount of Dermapen treatments a patient will need to see their desired results will be based on factors such as the current skin condition and their concern that they would like to treat. Most patients will notice an improvement of the skin that has been treated within a few days of receiving treatment, however, to reach desired results your medical professional may advise you to have a certain number of treatments done. Most patients will find that the recommended amount of treatments ranges from three to six treatments, with some patients needing more based on what they are having treated. You will have a time between each treatment that varies based on the provider, with the average amount of time between your treatments being two to eight weeks, this can also vary based on your providers’ availability. We do understand that some patients want to see immediate changes in their appearance, but it is important to be mindful of the reasons that treatments are spread out over time, as this gives the skin the ability to fully heal before the subsequent treatments, and means better results over the long-term treatment.

Because of the many years of developing and improving Dermapen treatments, patients can expect to have results that last up to two years, which compared to other microneedling treatments is almost double the amount of time that you will experience the results. After the 24 months following reaching your desired skin results, you will have to have maintenance treatments, and your provider will be able to advise the amount of treatments you will need to maintain your results.

Consulting with a qualified professional such as Dr. Angelo Tellis MD will allow you to pursue a personalized treatment schedule that aligns with your specific goals and maintain the benefits over time.
