Acne Scarring

How it works?

 The Pen containing 12 microscopic needles and oscillate at a rate of close to 110 revolutions per second. When the needle tip makes contact with the skin, the needles create tiny puncture in the skin's surface, causing micro-trauma, and inducing an immune response, and subsequently, the creation of new healthy collagen. The punctures also act as micro-channels that carry topical nutrients used during the treatment deep into skin layers for an increased effect.

Difference between normal dermaroller and dermapen?  

The Pen tip has a much smaller surface area which comes in contact with the skin, which allows it to treat those hard to reach areas quickly, easily, and effectively. Even though it may seem that such a small contact surface would make the treatment much longer and much more tedious, the truth is to the contrary; because the needles vibrate at such a high oscillation rate, the Pen “glides” across the skin with ease, providing for quicker treatment times.

Medical grade Facial peels– removes any dead cells by penetrating deep within the skin- can naturally improve the appearance of acne scars.

If a scar is bumpy it’s referred to as an ice pick scar, whereas if a scar is flat to the surface but is visible, you have what’s known as an atrophic scar, deeper scars are known as box scars. A thick, lumpy scar is one that is raised off the skin, this is a hypertrophic or keloid scar.
