Dermapen Treatment is a form of microneedling that uses a handheld, motorised device with ultra-thin needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures kick your bodys natural healing process into gear, making new collagen and elastin and helping the skin remodel itself. Its basically tapping into your own repair system, so you get smoother texture, reduced scars, and firmer skin without cutting or lasers.
