Dermapen Treatment at Silk

So what really happens when you have a Dermapen4 Treatment at Silk…

Booking Your First Appointment
First things first, book in for a skin consultation! We have a wide range of consults, which can be a bit overwhelming to choose from. The “Scan and Plan” is a brilliant place to start. This 45-minute session includes a full consultation and OBSERV imagery photos so we can see through the layers of your skin, providing us with much more information about your skin’s story than the naked eye can.

But for now, let’s imagine you have already had your skin consult or talked to one of our team and are ready for your first Dermapen treatment.

Step 1: Your First Visit – Consultation & Skin Mapping
When you arrive, like always, you will be warmly welcomed by our expert team. Your journey begins with a comprehensive and specific Dermapen skin consultation, where we will discuss your skin goals and any concerns you have—whether it is acne, fine lines, pigmentation, scarring, general skin health, or anything else that is bothering you.

We will use our advanced OBSERV scanner to take detailed images of your skin. This helps us create a personalised treatment plan and shows you exactly what is happening beneath the surface.

Step 2: Designing Your Treatment Plan
Together, we will review your skin images and discuss which Dermapen treatment program is best for you. Depending on your goals, we might recommend:

• Single Treatment: Ideal for a quick skin boost or maintenance if you are already a regular client.
• Course of 3 Treatments: Perfect for addressing most common concerns like ageing, pigmentation, or scarring. Each session is scheduled 2–8 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s needs.
• Extended Course (6 or more): Recommended for more stubborn skin issues. We will discuss this at your first consultation so there are no surprises.

We will guide you every step of the way, making sure you feel confident and supported in your decision.

Step 3: Your Dermapen Treatment Session
Your Dermapen treatment is a 50-minute session. Here is a little rundown of what to expect:

• A Bit of Relaxation First: Who said Dermapen is all about needling? First, we will tuck you in, making sure you are comfortable and warm, and ready to go. Prepping your skin involves cleansing, exfoliation, and ensuring your skin is clean of any bacteria or surface oils with the application of clini-prep spray.
• Targeted, Medical-Grade Procedure: From here on, we work with a full sterile kit including gloves, device, and products.
• Minimal Discomfort: Dermapen 4 is known for being virtually pain-free—most clients are pleasantly surprised at how gentle it feels. While it is not a relaxing massage, thanks to the advanced design of the Dermapen device and the expertise of your Silk practitioner, it is much more comfortable than you might expect. No other device on the market can create as many channels as the Dermapen 4, which not only allows for an advanced bespoke treatment but also improves comfort.
• The Needling Part: This only takes around 10 minutes, and we will treat your full face, neck, and also décolletage if indicated. We do not charge extra for this; at Silk, this is just a given.
• Body Areas: If you are coming in for body areas like scarring or stretch marks, your treatment will be a little different, and we will go through all of that with you before we start.
• Infusion of Mesoglide Serum: Unlike most other skin needling systems, Dermapen advanced technology allows us to infuse your skin with specialised, molecularly weighted products specific to your skin concerns. There are different mesoglide serum-like products available, but at Silk, we only ever use the MG Collection. Why? Because they are the best you can get—premium, potent, and why go for anything less?
• After the Needling Procedure: Your skin will be feeling quite warm by now. The application of the DP copper-peptide mask not only enhances the effects of your treatment but it is also cooling, soothing, and calming. This will stay on for up to 15 minutes, and we can even use a chill globe over the top to bring back some of that relaxation.
• Protection Time: Before you leave, we will add more specific serums and moisturisers, and the best product you can imagine—Cover-Recover. This is your SPF 30+ with the most incredible coverage that hides any form of redness. You can absolutely go out and about, and nobody will know you have just had an incredibly advanced skincare treatment.

Step 4: After Your Treatment – Minimal Downtime

• Redness & Recovery: You might notice some redness immediately after, but this usually fades within hours. We will apply our magic Cover-Recover SPF straight after your treatment. It cools, calms, and conceals any redness, so you can head straight back to your day with confidence.
• Post-Treatment Care: Over the next few days, your skin may feel a little dry as it renews itself. This is normal and temporary. There is no lasting downtime—just radiant, refreshed skin.
• Sunscreen is Essential: SPF is a non-negotiable part of your aftercare. We will remind you to protect your skin every day.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Support
A few days after your treatment, we will check in to see how you are doing and answer any questions you have. If you are on a course of treatments, we will help you schedule your next session and continue to support you throughout your journey.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Results

With Dermapen, you not only get fast results, but due to the fact it enhances collagen and elastin production, your skin works better for itself. This means you will reap (and see) the benefits of your Dermapen treatment for months—and even years—to come. When it comes to results, skin integrity, minimal effort, and downtime, Dermapen is indeed hard to beat.

Who Is It For?
Almost anybody can benefit from Dermapen skin needling. This advanced treatment is recommended for men and women of all skin types and colours, making it a safe and effective option for just about everyone and every skin concern or condition. From ageing and fine lines to acne scars, pigmentation, stretch marks, and overall skin rejuvenation, Dermapen can address a multitude of skin concerns with minimal downtime and risk.
