The Original Dermapen 4™ Microneedling:

 

 

 

The Dermapen 4™  is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that uses advanced microneedling technology to improve skin texture, tone, and overall health. When combined with the Uber Pro Peel, it delivers enhanced results by combining mechanical stimulation with targeted chemical exfoliation. Below is an in-depth explanation of the treatment, its benefits, and how it works.

What is The Dermapen 4™ Microneedling?

The Dermapen 4™ is a cutting-edge micro needling device designed for noninvasive skin rejuvenation. It features ultra-fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries (tiny punctures) in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This triggers collagen and elastin production, addressing a variety of skin concerns.

Key Features of The Dermapen 4™:

  • Advanced Needle Technology: Uses 16 fine, medical-grade needles that oscillate at 120 revolutions per second for precise and effective treatments.
  • Automated Depth Control: Adjustable penetration depth from 0.2mm to 3.0mm for customizable treatments targeting different skin layers.
  • Virtually Painless: The rapid oscillation of needles minimizes discomfort, and numbing cream can be applied if necessary.
  • Minimized Downtime: Compared to older microneedling methods, Dermapen 4 reduces redness and swelling, allowing for quicker recovery.

How The Dermapen 4™ Works

  1. Micro-Injury Creation: The microneedles create thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin. These channels stimulate the skin’s healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin.
  2. Cellular Regeneration: The process boosts the turnover of skin cells, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.
  3. Enhanced Product Absorption: The microchannels also allow for deeper penetration of topical serums, boosting the efficacy of active ingredients applied during the treatment.

 

 

What is the Uber Pro Peel?

The Uber Pro Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to be used in combination with microneedling treatments like Dermapen 4. It enhances the treatment’s efficacy by exfoliating the skin’s surface and addressing specific concerns such as pigmentation, acne, or dullness.

Key Ingredients in the Uber Pro Peel:

  • Lactic Acid: Hydrates and gently exfoliates.
  • Mandelic Acid: Targets pigmentation and acne, particularly effective for sensitive skin types.
  • Salicylic Acid: Penetrates pores to reduce acne and congestion.
  • Kojic Acid: Brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation.
  • Niacinamide: Anti-inflammatory and brightening agent that improves skin barrier function.

 

How Dermapen 4™ and Uber Pro Peel Work Together

When paired, Dermapen 4™ microneedling and the Uber Pro Peel create a synergistic effect:

  1. Prepping the Skin: The Uber Pro Peel exfoliates the surface, ensuring dead skin cells are removed for better penetration of microneedling.
  2. Enhanced Absorption: The microchannels created by the Dermapen allow the Uber Pro Peel’s active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin.
  3. Targeted Treatment: The chemical peel addresses pigmentation, acne, and texture, while microneedling stimulates collagen for long-term skin health.
  4. Customized Results: The combination can be tailored to individual skin concerns, offering a comprehensive treatment.
