Dermapen 4 Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What kind of treatment is the Dermapen 4?

A

Dermapen 4 is a treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny holes in the skin's surface, harnessing the skin's natural healing power to improve skin texture.

Q

What skin concerns is the Dermapen 4 suitable for?

A

The Dermapen 4 is used by people concerned about enlarged pores, acne scars, uneven skin texture, fine lines, dullness, loss of firmness and elasticity, and hyperpigmentation.

Q

Can the needle depth be adjusted on the YAYOI CLINIC Dermapen 4?

A

Yes. The Dermapen 4 adjusts the needle depth and penetration speed to suit your skin condition. Even for the same skin concern, the appropriate settings vary depending on skin type and treatment area, so we determine the treatment plan based on a consultation.

Q

What types of medications can be used in combination with the Dermapen 4?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer treatments such as “Velvet Skin,” which combines the Dermapen 4 with a massage peel (PRX-T33), as well as treatments that incorporate Rejuran.

Q

Does the Dermapen 4 hurt?

A

Because the Dermapen 4 uses needles, you may experience some discomfort or pain. At YAYOI CLINIC, we provide topical anesthesia and perform the procedure with your comfort in mind.

Q

How long is the downtime for Dermapen 4?

A

With the Dermapen 4, redness, swelling, stinging, and peeling may occur after the procedure. Since the recovery process varies depending on the needle depth and skin condition, please confirm the specific downtime before the procedure.

Q

How many sessions of Dermapen 4 do you usually get?

A

The number of Dermapen 4 treatments required varies depending on your skin concerns and skin condition. If you’re seeking ongoing treatment for acne scars or enlarged pores, you should consider undergoing multiple sessions.

Q

What is the difference between the Dermapen 4 and the Mesogun?

A

The Dermapen 4 is a treatment that creates microscopic holes in the skin using 16 needles, after which a solution is applied; the Mesogun, on the other hand, injects the solution into the subcutaneous layer at the same time the needles penetrate the skin. At YAYOI CLINIC, we use both treatments depending on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals.

Q

When can I start wearing makeup after a Dermapen 4 treatment?

A

The timing for when you can start wearing makeup after a Dermapen 4 treatment varies depending on the specific treatment and the condition of your skin. If redness or irritation persists, prioritize your skin’s condition and refrain from wearing makeup.

Q

Can the Dermapen 4 improve pitted acne scars?

A

Dermapen 4 is one of the treatments used to address uneven skin texture caused by acne scars. However, the most appropriate treatment varies depending on the type and depth of the scars, so procedures such as subcision or Tri-Fill Pro may also be considered.
