Dermapen microneedling is a skin renewal treatment in which very fine needles create microscopic channels in the skin. This triggers the skin's natural repair and collagen production. It is used for acne scars, scars, large pores, fine lines and uneven skin tone – with less downtime than laser.
What can Dermapen help with?
- Acne scars and other scars
- Stretch marks
- Large pores and rough texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and tired, dull skin
Who is microneedling for?
Microneedling suits many skin types and is a good choice if you want gradual improvement of texture and scarring with limited downtime. If you have active inflamed acne, a skin infection, are pregnant or have a skin condition in the area, please tell us – the treatment may not be right for you at the moment.
Options: peel, LED and laser
Dermapen can be done on its own or combined:
- Dermapen face / face and neck – the core treatment
- Dermapen scars or stretch marks – targeted treatment of one area
- With LED light therapy – the treatment ends with LED light
- With chemical peel or mesotherapy – an add-on adapted to your skin
- Dermapen and laser – combined treatment for the face or face and neck

What to expect
The skin is cleansed and numbing cream can be used. The Dermapen is moved over the skin in a controlled way, with depth adapted to the area and your skin. It feels like light scratching or prickling. Soothing care is applied afterwards.
How long does it take?
A session usually takes 45–75 minutes, depending on the area and whether it is combined with LED, peel or laser.
Aftercare
The skin is usually red and sensitive, a bit like mild sunburn, for one to a few days. Avoid make-up, sweaty workouts and sun straight after treatment, and use SPF. See our aftercare advice.
Results and number of sessions
The skin becomes gradually smoother after each session. For scars and texture, a course of several sessions a few weeks apart is usually recommended. How many you need depends on your starting point.
Dermapen or CO2 laser?
Dermapen is gentler with shorter downtime, while CO2 laser is more intensive and can achieve more per session. We recommend what suits your skin and your schedule.
