Dermapen Microneedling
Dermatological issues, especially for the face, are some of the skin concerns that are unpleased for everybody. We typically strive to look our best, and there is no age limit to that. It is said that a person’s face is the most visible part of the body and thanks to modern medicine, one can always look their natural best. There are common skin problems that most people battle at some point in their life such as:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Crow’s feet
- Acne scars
- Dark circles and bags under the eyes
For someone facing any of the above issues, then a Dermapen microneedling skin treatment may be one of the best options for a clear and youthful-looking skin. This is because it not only gets rid of the problem at hand but also rejuvenates the skin leaving a glowing, healthy and more toned skin.
Dermapen Microneedling Technique Options
A dermapen skin treatment, also called Dermapen microneedling in Dubai, is performed with a motorized skin treatment instrument that uses tiny needle tips to create small wounds on the skin. The procedure is virtually painless and safe so there is no need to worry. As soon as the treatment is administered, the body responds by regenerating new collagen. The skin undergoes quick and dramatic change as it naturally heals itself in 45 days.
The needle penetration level usually depends on the results that the patient is looking for. Light penetration opens up the skin long enough for specific treatment serums to be effectively absorbed. Mid penetration helps with the skin texture and tone. Deep skin issues like acne scars and stretch marks require a deeper penetration level.

The Dermapen Microneedling Process
a) The Consultation
The first step of having a Dermapen microneedling skin treatment in Dubai is to have a detailed consultation and examination in the clinic with our board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, to determine a tailor-made plan for each candidate.
b) The Treatment
The second step is to schedule the Dermapen microneedling skin treatment with the highly qualified and experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist who is an expert in Dermapen microneedling and skin treatment procedures. The treatment requires 30 minutes to one hour depending on the severity of the condition.
Prior to any procedure at the clinic, each patient is screened to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the treatment.
During the procedure, a numbing agent is applied to the skin if necessary then the ultra-fine needles are slowly passed over the skin causing micro injuries. The pain level is tolerable because the needles cause the micro-injuries on the top layers of the skin and the numbing agent significantly reduces any discomfort. The small wounds created automatically signal the body to start the healing process, and the generation of collagen begins. This leads to the formation of a new layer of skin which is firmer and thicker than before.
The expert plastic surgeon or dermatologist accompanies the patient throughout the entire treatment process and scheduled follow-up sessions.
c) The Recovery
Immediately after the treatment, the skin might feel sensitive to the touch, and there might be some redness, but this should go away after 24 hours. Avoiding the sun during the healing period is crucial so a high spectrum sunscreen is highly recommended. For this treatment, there are typically no serious side effects, and the recovery is quick.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is collagen connected to Dermapen Microneedling?
Dermapen Microneedling works by breaking up older collagen chains to stimulate the production of new elastin and collagen within the skin. This enables the skin to re-grow and repair itself in response to the micro-damage. Dermapen Microneedling involves the use of a small hand-held device that delivers up to 1300 vertical micro punctures per second boosting elastin, collagen, and other various skin functions.
How does Dermapen Microneedling differ from other techniques?
Dermapen has a unique applicator that is completely vertical thus minimizing unnecessary damage/ injury to the treatment area. It has a disposable needle applicator that moves in an up and down motion which results in a more comfortable experience and less downtime.Other techniques tend to use a roller with needles that are spread across a cylindrical treatment applicator. The device is rolled across the treatment area. The rolling creates unnecessary damage to the skin because the needles pull the tissue as they leave the skin.
How do I prepare for the treatment?
During your Dermapen Microneedling consultation with a dermatologist, you will be guided on the pretreatment guidelines. These will include:
- Avoiding Accutane for six months
- Avoid topical agents that increase skin sensitivity
- Avoid laser procedures and sun exposure two weeks prior
- Do not wax, use electrolysis, or depilatory creams a week prior
- Avoid blood thinning and anti-inflammatory medication
If the treatment area has delicate or thin skin, you will be put on effective active treatment creams that will build up the strength of your skin
What does Dermapen Microneedling treatment feel like?
Numbing creams can be used to make the individual comfortable depending on the depth of the treatment. The Dermapen applicator’s length is adjusted based on the condition of the skin. If a shorter needle is used, you will feel a tickling sensation, while if a full-length needle is used, you may experience a pinching or pinprick feeling.
How many treatment sessions are needed?
The number of treatment sessions needed varies depending on the skin condition that is being treated. For example, acne scarring requires about six treatment sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart while rejuvenation requires four to six treatments that are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.
When can I see the results of Dermapen Microneedling?
The initial results are visible after the first treatment but the lasting and more significant results will be seen after all the treatment sessions have occurred. The results of Dermapen Microneedling will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months.
Can I do Dermapen Microneedling after filler treatment?
Most skincare practitioners recommend to wait about 10 days after dermal filler treatments and two weeks after wrinkle relaxant treatment before undergoing Dermapen Microneedling. This gives ample time for the filler treatment to work and to avoid risks and complications during the Dermapen Microneedling session.
Patient Reviews
It’s been a year since I had my facial treatment with Soumia, and I still feel so grateful for the care and results I received. At that time, I noticed a big improvement in my pigmentation and skin tone, but what has impressed me even more is how well the results have lasted over time. My skin has remained healthier, brighter, and more even, and I feel much more confident about it. Looking back, that treatment was a real turning point for my skincare journey. I would still highly recommend Soumia for anyone who wants long-term, effective solutions tailored to their needs.
