Skin revitalization of the facial area
Dermal pens
The roller and dermal pens function to increase collagen synthesis at the dermal or subdermal level for skin revitalization of the facial area, neck, décolletage, and/or hands.
It is also indicated in the treatment of stretch marks, scars of all types, including post-acne scars, skin laxity, etc. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions may be necessary, or at intervals to be followed according to medical criteria. The number of sessions to achieve the desired effects cannot be predetermined. Sometimes the desired effects are not achieved.
The treatment consists of repeatedly passing a medical device (Nanoroller, Dermapen, Dermicapen or similar) over the skin, which is equipped with a multitude of microneedles. These microneedles make micro-holes in the epidermis through which different active ingredients are applied in order to enhance them and correct or attenuate the signs of the clinical condition being treated. The painful sensation, if it occurs, is minimal and can be reduced with the use of local or topical anesthesia.
The possibility of producing hematomas or cuts with the needles is minimal. If they occur, their evolution is normal and will not require specific care. The formation of a slight redness or erythema in the treated area is frequent, which evolves spontaneously in a few hours or days.
Subsequently, the use of a photoprotector is recommended on a daily basis to prevent possible side effects due to exposure to the sun or artificial light sources (computer screens, for example) and not to manipulate the treated areas until 2 days after the session.
