What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical procedure that involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These micro injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful skin. The DP4 Advanced Microneedling System enhances this process with its advanced technology, offering precise and efficient treatments with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Conditions Treatable with Microneedling
Microneedling tightens, lifts and rejuvenates the skin by creating microscopic pinpoints and activating the body’s ability to re-grow and repair the skin and create new collagen and elastin in the treated area. It helps to visibly improve the appearance of various skin concerns including :
fine lines
wrinkles
acne scars
trauma scars
stretch marks
hair loss
hyperpigmentation and melasma

The DP4 Microneedling Pen is a cutting-edge device used in aesthetic treatments to enhance skin rejuvenation. This pen utilizes specialized serums that are specifically designed to target various skin concerns during the microneedling process. Here’s a breakdown of the unique serums available with the DP4 Microneedling Pen:
Anti-Aging Serum: This serum is rich in peptides and antioxidants which aid in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It boosts collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin.
Hydrating Serum: Formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamins, this serum deeply hydrates the skin, improving its overall moisture content and plumpness, which helps in diminishing the appearance of fine lines.
Brightening Serum: Infused with ingredients like vitamin C, this serum works to fade pigmentation, even out skin tone, and enhance skin brightness, making it ideal for those with dull or uneven complexions.
Clarifying Serum: Designed for acne-prone and oily skin types, this serum contains salicylic acid and other acne-fighting ingredients that help to clear pores, reduce breakouts, and soothe inflammation.
Each serum is designed to penetrate deeply into the skin via the micro-channels created during the microneedling process, which enhances their efficacy. This targeted delivery system helps to ensure that active ingredients are absorbed more effectively, providing better, faster results than topical application alone.
Microneedling for acne & acne scar
The development of bacteria in acne usually triggers our natural defense mechanism. Antibodies in our white blood cells will travel to the site of infection, enter the clogged follicles and eliminate the bacteria. However, in the process of killing off the acne bacteria, the antibodies may also cause inflammation and destruction of the surrounding dermis. This process causes the raised, red and white-centered appearance of a pimple. When the supporting dermis is damaged, a visible depression or crater appears. This is how most acne scars develop. Individuals with a scarring history or with weakened immune systems tend to get more pronounced acne scars. Certainly, picking at the area, squeezing pimples and other added trauma can worsen the scar. Skin texture changes related to acne scars will often last a lifetime, unless professionally treated.
While scarring is always upsetting, scarring of the face is particularly troubling and can have a significant impact on one’s self-esteem. Microneedling is proven to be an effective way of treating acne scars. Professional grade microneedling can treat deep acne scars, using a device as long as 3mm to reach beneath the surface of the skin. The results are similar to those produced by fractional laser treatments. Call one of our two convenient clinics to find out which acne treatment is best for you.
Microneedling for Stretch Marks
If you’ve gained or lost weight due to pregnancy or other factors, stretch marks may appear as a result – most commonly on breasts, stomach, thighs, buttocks and arms. Stretch marks are streaks or strips of skin that are a different shade than the surrounding skin. These stubborn lines can be very difficult to get rid of, and are sometimes impossible to prevent as a result of genetics. However, microneedling’s ability to stimulate the healing process can help reduce their appearance.
As the micro needles are inserted, your nerve sensors will react, signaling that an injury has taken place. In response, your skin will naturally heal itself, producing new tissue. The collagen and elastin that is produced as a result leads to smoother skin, and the gradual fading of stretch marks.
Microneedling for Wrinkles
The wrinkles and fine lines, which develop around the eyes or lips, are commonly recognized as telltale signs of aging.
The natural aging process causes the skin’s connective fibers to break down. When we are young, the skin naturally has abundant collagen, moisture, and fat to plump out features and keep skin smooth and strong. The skin gradually becomes thinner and rougher as we age. Without the supportive connective tissue that it once had, it loses strength and flexibility. It then begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely due to gravity and loss of underlying structure. Due to repeated movement of the underlying muscles and the effects of gravity, wrinkles will form in the upper layers of the skin. As you get older, the skin will inevitably become less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries the skin and we are less able to retain skin’s moisture. This can cause the skin to develop fine lines, creases, and wrinkles.
Luckily, microneedling, a non-invasive procedure, can successfully treat wrinkles and reverse the signs of aging, while preventing future wrinkles at the same time, The tiny micro wounds, created by microneedling, stimulate the healing process; thereby increasing the production of collagen and elastin, which are key to creating thick, plump and smooth skin.
