What’s Dermapen microneedling? Everything you ever wanted to know

Dermapen microneedling is an effective, popular and minimally invasive procedure that treats a wide range of skin concerns, not just lines and wrinkles, although it does reduce the signs of ageing too.


There’s a lot of information and misinformation on the Internet, which makes it hard to separate facts from fiction. We’re going beyond the claims and opinions, to give you the holistic answer to what microneedling is, together with real-life results.


Get set to go more than skin deep as we answer your questions about this multipurpose treatment.


What is Dermapen Microneedling? 

Dermapen microneedling is a sought-after skin renewal procedure that treats a wide range of conditions.


Unlike injectable treatments, Dermapen microneedling is an entirely natural process that stimulates the body’s own repair and renewal process to create collagen. Micro-fine needles are adjusted to different depths and speeds to create fractional puncture channels on the surface of the skin. These micro-channels carry your meso-glide (a serum that’s chosen to help correct your specific skin concern) deep into the skin, increasing its effectiveness and delivering healing nutrients.


The superior absorption of Meso-Glides combined with a natural boost in collagen and elastin results in plumper, younger-looking skin.


Facial needling with Dermapen helps get rid of unwanted lines and wrinkles and other blemishes, but you can also treat different parts of your body. Hands, neck and décolleté are all popular zones, but you can treat anywhere you feel needs a boost of collagen to repair thinning, sagging, sun-damaged or problematic skin.


There are multiple options available on the market, for both in salons and at-home microneedling. If you’re considering microneedling, make sure to keep reading to understand the differences, as not all products are created equal. Some microneedling devices may do more harm than good.


When done correctly and in a sterile environment, microneedling can have rapid and impressive results.




“Last year, we performed over 1300 Dermapen treatments combined with Dp Dermaceuticals as protocols. These treatments have become one of our most popular and effective treatments for acne, anti-ageing and pigmentation.”


Judy Oats, Addesso Clinic, Townsville, Australia

The Origins of Therapeutic Needling

The earliest use of therapeutic skin needling can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China. Fast forward to 1995, and cosmetic needling began its rapid timeline of innovation.


Australian medical developer and DermapenWorld CEO Stene Marshall introduced Dermapen to the world in 2010. It revolutionised the microneedling market. Dermapen is backed by years of research and prototypes to offer far superior design, comfort, versatility and results.


Over 3 million Dermapen Treatments have now been performed worldwide. With the DermapenWorld family of products, you are investing in quality and safety for your skin.


How Does Dermapen Microneedling Work?

The micro-injuries caused by the treatment stimulate the production of collagen as your skin heals. Acne, trauma, pigmentation and a range of other ailments can cause blemishes on your skin. Ageing causes your skin to thin, sag and wrinkle.


Dermapen microneedling simply activates the skin’s natural self-rejuvenating function. A new layer of fresh tissue forms, creating a more youthful appearance on the surface and fighting antibodies underneath.


These small punctures also allow active ingredients in topical creams to penetrate deeper for intense rejuvenation.


Is Skin Needling and Dermapen Microneedling the Same?

Yes, Dermapen microneedling has many different names, which can make it confusing when selecting a treatment.




Other terms for microneedling include:


Percutaneous Collagen Induction (P.C.I.)

Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T.)

Scar Rejuvenation Therapy (S.R.T.), and

Skin needling
