As we grow older, our skin loses its capacity to maintain muscle and tissue volume. Over time, it results in thinner and saggy skin, which can impact our self-esteem. Besides aging, there are multiple other skin concerns that can negatively impact our self-image. These can include acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. Most of these issues are deeply rooted in the lower folds of the skin and are not very easy to get rid of.
This is where DermaPen fills in the gap with a more potent form of microneedling. The process of Microneedling has long been present and continues to gain popularity among people unhappy with their skin. DermaPen is a specialized device with 12 microneedles that quickly vibrate to puncture tiny holes in the skin in a controlled environment. By deliberately puncturing the skin, it triggers the skin’s natural healing process, which then rejuvenates and restores more radiant and plump skin.
If you are considering getting a DermaPen Treatment in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, we have an in-depth guide ready for you. Continue reading ahead to learn more about the steps and cost of a DermaPen Treatment in Rawalpindi/Islamabad.
Who Needs/Candidates
DermaPen is a highly encompassing treatment and can deliver highly pronounced benefits for everyone. Regardless of the skin type and concerns, everyone can benefit from the refreshed, plumped, and tightened skin tone it creates. Besides this, you may still want to know if it can target the exact skin concern that you have. You may be the ideal candidate for a DermaPen Treatment in Rawalpindi/Islamabad if you have one or more of these specific problems:
- Dark spots, acne, or wrinkles
- Creases and Fine Lines
- Scars from acne, trauma, keloid, or surgery
- Unwanted dermal or epidermal pigmentation
- Enlarged or clogged pores
- Stretch marks from weight loss or pregnancy
Results to Expect
Besides the common outcomes related to enhanced tone, texture, and radiance, you can expect a significant improvement in other skin conditions you have. If you are unhappy with signs of aging, two to three sessions of DermaPen in Rawalpindi can result in more plump and tightened skin. For acne scars, stretch marks and other stubborn appearances, you can see a significant reduction after just 3 sessions. As soon as after the first session, you can expect the following:
- Thickened and more plump skin
- Long-lasting boost in collagen production
- Improved skin elasticity
- Long-lasting changes for up to 5 months
- Reduction in pores dilation
Treatment Goals
The primary goal of Dermapen is to stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin in the skin. Both are responsible for maintaining youthful, wrinkle-free and rejuvenated skin. This makes it an excellent first-line of treatment for aging skin. Besides this, younger adults also opt for the treatment to combat a wide range of stubborn issues that don’t go away with other topical creams or medication. People opt for a DermaPen Treatment in Rawalpindi and Islamabad as they can target the narrower and deeper layers of the skin. Many of our patients suffer from dermal pigmentation and scarring; there are not many non-invasive treatments available for such conditions. DermaPen is one of the very few options available.
Preparation/Pre-Op Care
Before receiving your DermaPen Treatment in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, you will be required to avoid any:
- Acne medication such as Accutane well in advance
- Topical creams or agents that can irritate the skin and make it more sensitive
- All topical antibiotics, retinoids, and exfoliants at least 5-7 days prior
- Anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil for at least 3 days prior
- Getting any Laser treatment for at least 2 weeks prior
- Sun exposure and getting sunburned for at least 2 weeks prior
- Waxing, shaving, and scrubbing for at least 5 days
- Blood thinning medication such as Warfarin
Treatment Steps
DermaPen Treatments in Rawalpindi/Islamabad are still relatively new , and their workings are widely unknown. Some of the steps of a typical DermaPen treatment in Rawalpindi include the following steps:
- During the first stage of your session, your skin will be cleansed, and all dead skin, oil, and other dirt stuck within the pores will be removed. After this, your skin will be more absorbing to the vibrations and punctures created by the Dermapen, resulting in deeper penetration.
- Your practitioner will then gradually move the DermaPen throughout your face to gently puncture controlled holes within the skin. While micro, they will be deeply penetrating and will revoke the skin’s response to supposed “damage.”
- Once the rolling is complete, a cooling mask will be applied to the treated area to minimize any swelling and discomfort.
The skin is then moisturized with a hydrating gel for the most effective outcomes.The exact length and number of sessions your Dermapen treatment includes will depend on the severity and type of problem you want to resolve. Prominent skin rejuvenation can be achieved with just one or two sessions. On the other hand, stubborn acne scars or stretch marks can take between 6-10 sessions for pronounced or complete removal.
Recovery/Post-Op Care
DermaPen Treatments are highly lightweight and don’t require any downtime or an extensive post-treatment routine. You can still run into problems if you irritate your skin after the treatment. To ensure the smoothest outcomes, make sure to avoid:
- Wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after each session
- Oil-based makeup for a few days after the initial 24 hours
- Any cardio or other intensive exercise
- Sauna rooms, hot baths for at least 48 hours.
- Using ice and certain pain-relief agents such as arnica
- Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged heat exposure for 2 weeks prior

- Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen
