The microneedling technique increases skin remodeling by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin.
In response to multiple skin lesions, by causing blood vessels just below the epidermis to rupture, platelets are released and the production of collagen, elastin and growth factors is promoted.
Thus, architectural and histopathological changes occur in the injured area and the scars are attenuated.
The dermapen is an automated microneedling device that looks like a pen and uses disposable needles.
Skin puncture is performed by an automatic pulsating movement of the needles protruding from the replaceable tip. The smaller number of needles, the ability to adjust their length and ejection speed make the device easy to use while increasing its precision.
