Skin Needling/Dermapen
Skin Needling or Derma Pen is rapidly becoming the most sought after treatment in the quest for anti-aging prevention as well as the reversal of the visible signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of skin elasticity and firmness.
What is Dermapen/Derma rolling?
Dermapen or Derma rolling gently stimulates the skin’s healing response using very fine needles, similar to those used in acupuncture.
In addition to stimulating the skin to produce more collagen, and elastin and tiny new blood vessels, this treatment also permits deeper infusion of topical applications, which greatly increases the penetration and effectiveness of the ingredients.
Pour Moi Skin and Beauty perform medical grade Dermapen treatments, using the Dermapen 3 machine, which has been proven by scientific and clinical studies to assist with skin and scar tissue regeneration.

- Collagen Induction Therapy (anti ageing)

Is the treatment painful?
A treatment requires topical anaesthetic and takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Most clients find this treatment very tolerable.
How long does it take to work and how long will it last?
The production of new collagen and elastin in the skin continues for a few months after each treatment and the results can be enhanced with the application of topical active ingredients such as Vitamins A and C, hyaluronic acid, growth factors, peptides and lightening ingredients.
The results are cumulative so multiple treatments are usually necessary to achieve significant improvements, which are usually seen within 4-6 weeks of each treatment.
A course of 3-6 treatments 2-4 weeks apart is recommended.
Should I prepare my skin before having Dermapen treatment?
For optimal results, we recommend the use of active skincare containing Vitamins A, and C as well as anti oxidants to allow the skin’s strength to build up and to continue using the active skincare to maintain the results.
This is very much like fertilizing the soil before planting the seedlings, establishing a healthier, better-looking tree.
Are there any side effects?
The skin may be pink or appear mild to moderately ‘sunburned’ for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment and it can also feel a little sunburned.
There is no downtime associated with Dermapen treatment. You may want to wear mineral makeup on skin to cover any redness.
You will need to regularly apply sunblock and to take extra care to avoid sun exposure for at least the first week after treatment.
