DermaPen Microneedling: Acne Scars, Pores & Anti-Aging

SKIN VITALITY PROUDLY SERVING CANADIANS SINCE 1992

The DermaPen® microneedling pen provides the segmented delivery of microneedles, creating micro injuries to the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and dermis (the inner layer of skin). As a result, the micro injuries encourage the body’s innate ability to repair itself. This is an effective way to reduce wrinkles, pigmentation, pores, texture and acne scars.

Microneedling Dermapen Treatment

Tired of hiding uneven texture, stubborn acne scars, or those fine lines that seem to appear overnight? You’re not alone—many of us dream of smoother, more radiant skin that truly reflects how vibrant we feel inside.

At Skin Vitality, proudly serving Canadians with medical aesthetics expertise since 1992, our DermaPen microneedling treatment offers a gentle yet powerful way to unlock your skin’s natural glow. This minimally invasive procedure uses sterile micro-needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production for skin repair and rejuvenation.

Treatments can help refine skin texture, diminish wrinkles, improve acne scars, and promote a smoother, more balanced complexion. Individual results vary based on skin condition and consistency of treatments.

What Does MicroNeedling Help With?

Our popular, minimally invasive microneedling treatment utilizes DP4 Technology. The pen-like device with fine, sterile needles glides effortlessly across the face. DermaPen microneedling is effective for a variety of skin concerns including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and texture irregularities
  • Pigmentation and sun damage
  • Enlarged pores
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Uneven skin tone
  • General skin rejuvenation

Treatment protocols are customized according to age, skin type, and individual concerns.

How Dermapen MicroNeedling Works

The DermaPen device features a disposable tip with multiple micro-needles that vertically penetrate the skin at a controlled depth, ranging from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. This precision creates thousands of fractional micro-channels per second, stimulating collagen and elastin production as the skin repairs itself. Key technology includes:

  • SureSpace™ engineered needle spacing for uniform delivery
  • SafLok™ safety system for secure tip locking
  • 12-needle and 16-needle cartridge options
  • Up to 1,920 micro-channels per second with 16 needles

These innovations ensure consistent results with minimal trauma and discomfort.

Treatment Options Tailored to Your Needs

Anti-Aging
Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots by naturally boosting collagen and elastin. Enhancing treatments with medical-grade DP Dermaceuticals™ Meso-Glides™ provide added hydration and comfort.

Scar Rejuvenation
Targeting acne scars and textural irregularities, microneedling triggers collagen remodeling which can smooth and soften scars. Oxygenation and lymphatic stimulation also support skin recovery.

Pigmentation Correction
Microneedling promotes balanced melanin production and cellular function for improved, even skin tone. It is suitable for all skin tones and offers a safer alternative to lasers for those prone to pigmentation issues.

What to Expect During a Session

A medical professional from Skin Vitality’s team begins by cleansing the treatment area. A topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort. Once prepared, a handheld DermaPen device is moved gently across the skin. Needle length is selected based on concern and area, with shorter lengths for delicate regions and deeper settings for areas requiring collagen activation.

A typical session may take 15 minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the area. Sensations vary, and some individuals may feel mild scratching or warmth, especially near bony regions.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following treatment, most individuals resume normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, or tightness may occur for several days. Some may notice slight flaking as the skin renews. Ice or cooling products may be recommended, along with gentle skincare and sun protection. Mild pinpoint bleeding or bruising may occur and generally subsides shortly after treatment.

A series of sessions is often recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Full improvements may develop gradually over several months. Maintenance sessions may be considered depending on skin goals discussed during consultation. Individual results may vary.

FAQ's Customized DERMAPEN Skincare

Yes, microneedling is generally a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin. It can reduce wrinkles, diminish scarring, and tighten or rejuvenate loose or aging skin.

Healing from microneedling usually takes a mere 24 hours. However, it may take up to two to three days depending on the extent of the treatment. You can are free to return to work or school immediately after treatment and wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.

You may need between one and six DermaPen microneedling treatments to achieve your desired results. If you’re trying to minimize your pores, you should only expect to need one treatment session. On the other hand, you may need two or three treatment sessions to erase moderate-to-severe wrinkles and folds.

Using ingredients like glycolic acid, retinol and vitamin C too soon after microneedling can irritate your skin and prolong the healing process. For this reason, it is best to wait two to three days after a microneedling session to start using products with these ingredients again.

Specific products, sun exposure, exfoliants, and strenuous activity may need to be minimized. Guidance is provided individually. As far as washing your face after microneedling goes, you should only use lukewarm water for the first 48 hours. On days two and three, it’s safe to cleanse with a gentle, non-exfoliating face wash.

One week following treatment: Most of our patients will notice improvements in their skin just one short week after treatment. Initial results usually include improved skin tone, a reduction in acne visibility, and improved skin texture.

Avoid IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least 2 weeks prior to your procedure. No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5-7 days prior. Do not shave the day of the procedure to avoid skin irritation.

For at least 2 hours post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare. Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds. Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-‐treatment.
