Dermapen

Ideal candidates for the Dermapen are men and women who are looking to naturally address certain skin imperfections such as wrinkles, facial lines, and scars. Unlike certain skin enhancing treatments, this device can be used for all skin types to provide rejuvenating results. In general, this treatment is great for treating skin imperfections on just about anyone. To find out if you are a candidate, please contact Reflections Center and schedule a free consultation with the doctor.

In general, for light treatments, the sensation can be compared to that of a tingling, tickling sensation. Deeper treatments are still comfortable, but we recommend opting for a topical anesthetic.

We use a topical anesthetic for our Dermapen patients. Before the treatment begins, the physician will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to help to prevent the patient from feeling any discomfort. This will numb the area for the duration of the treatment. Often, patients have reported that the treatment is very tolerable and the numbing cream is not necessary.

Once the treatment has been completed, the skin will begin to repair itself almost immediately; however, this natural process will take a few weeks to a month to be able to notice the results. Individualized post-treatment instructions will be provided before the patient leaves our office. The treated region will remain red and slightly inflamed for the first few days after the skin enhancing procedure; however, this is entirely normal and will subside on its own. The skin will be sensitive to the touch, like that of a sunburn. It is essential to keep the region clean and hydrated for the best recovery and results. Makeup should not be applied to the skin for at least 12 hours after the Dermapen session. Makeup should not be applied to the skin for at least 12 hours after the Dermapen session.

The cost of the Dermapen treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the depth of treatment that is required. There are 3 depths – the most superficial of which is performed by a nurse or aesthetician. Typically, for a full face treatment with the nurse or aesthetician, Dermapen is $250-300. For full face treatment with a deeper setting, the price typically ranges from $450-500. This is purposeful, because we want our patients to get the best results possible, and this is typically how we’re able to achieve those results. It’s also why we caution patients strongly against treatment with Dermapen at spas and salons. Once you come into Reflections Center for a consultation with one of our talented physicians, you will be given a custom quote based on your condition and what you are looking to achieve.

For the Dermapen treatment, our physicians recommend receiving multiple treatments to achieve optimal skin enhancing results. Although the skin will improve after only one session, it is advised to undergo several Dermapen treatments for further skin rejuvenation. It is recommended to receive 4-6 treatments, each spaced about a month apart from each other. During the consultation with one of our physicians, they will be able to assess your case better and recommend the number of treatments you should receive.

The results of the Dermapen treatment are not immediate but they are long-lasting. Most patients have reported that their results lasted anywhere from six months to one year before seeking additional treatment for skin maintenance. The longevity of the results will vary depending on the patient, how quickly their skin degenerates with age, and the particular conditions treated. Typically, our patients receive the recommended 4-6 treatments and after about one year they will receiving one treatment every six months to maintain the results.
