Do you have unwanted age spots, freckles, darkened patches or melasma? Dermapen Treatments™ for pigmentation give you the chance to rewrite your skin's history for a smooth, even complexion.
Pigmentation Treatment
Pigmentation Dermapen Treatments™
Dermapen Treatments can help reduce the visible appearance of your skin pigmentation concerns and reveal a more even and radiant complexion.
What to expect:
Thousands of flawless fractional micro-channels are created in your skin using the Dermapen 4™ to promote a more balanced and normalised cellular function with regulated melanin production. As melanocytes (pigment producing cells) are directly targeted, a repair and corrective process encourages even skin tone for a smooth and radiant appearance.
Each of the needles in the Dermapen 4 cartridge are ultrafine and move in such a way as to cause very little discomfort. The speed of the device means your procedure will be over before you know it so you can luxuriate in a BRITE LITE 3D SCULPTURED FACE MASK as your skin begins its transformation.
Your skincare professional will advise you how many procedures are required to fade the appearance of your pigmentation. Dermapen Treatments follow proven DermapenWorld Protocols and are able to address other concerns, such as acne or signs of ageing, at the same time. Our Protocols include a tailored Dp Dermaceuticals skincare routine to achieve the best outcomes for your skin.
Pigmentation can be made worse with sun exposure, so protecting your skin with COVER RECOVER™ SPF30 from Dp Dermaceuticals is a non-negotiable part of your Dermapen Treatment for pigmentation. Using the Dermapen HOME™ device will accelerate and enhance your journey towards even skin tone.
What is Skin Pigmentation?
When people talk about skin pigmentation, they're talking about the natural colour of your skin, determined by the amount of melanin it contains. Here are some common types of skin pigmentation disorders:
Melasma: These dark patches on the face are often triggered by hormonal changes (like pregnancy).
Hyperpigmentation: The skin can produce excess melanin in response to damage, resulting in dark spots or patches. Causes include sun exposure, acne scars, and inflammation.
Hypopig...mentation: In contrast, hypopigmentation occurs when melanin production decreases. It leads to lighter patches on the skin. Conditions like vitiligo and post-inflammatory hypopigmentation fall into this category.
Freckles: These small, flat brown spots are often caused by sun exposure. They’re more common in fair-skinned individuals.
Age spots (lentigines): These are also related to sun exposure and appear as flat, brown spots on areas frequently exposed to the sun.
How Does Skin Pigmentation Affect My Appearance?
Skin pigmentation changes can significantly impact your appearance. Let’s break it down:
1. Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots or patches can make your skin look uneven. These may result from sun damage, acne scars, or inflammation.
2. Hypopigmentation: Lighter patches due to reduced melanin can also affect appearance. Conditions like vitiligo can cause noticeable contrast.
3. Freckles and age spots: While freckles are harmless, they can alter your complexion. Age spots (lentigines) may make you appear older.
Remember, a regular twice-daily skincare routine with targeted activities and wearing sun protection play a crucial role in maintaining an even complexion.
Why Choose Dermapen Treatments for Pigmentation
Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using ultra-fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin. These controlled microinjuries stimulate your skin’s healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
Dermapen Treatments are a holistic combination of in-clinic microneedling procedures with the Dermapen 4 and at-home microneedling top-ups with Dermapen HOME, combined with effective and transformative Dp Dermaceuticals™ skincare.
Here’s how it benefits your skin:
Evens skin tone: It helps fade dark spots, stubborn melasma, and other uneven pigmentation issues.
Reduces stretch marks and scars: Dermapen Treatments can fade stretch marks and various types of scars, including acne scars, which commonly co-exist with hyperpigmentation.
Enhances absorption of topical ingredients: By creating tiny channels, microneedling allows pigmentation-preventing skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Safe for melasma and darker skin tones: Since it doesn’t involve heat, Dermapen Treatments are generally safer for patients with melasma or darker skin tones.
