Dermapen, also known as microneedling, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.
These tiny channels trigger the skin’s natural healing process and encourage the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that help keep skin firm, smooth and healthy-looking.
At Pure Derma, Dermapen is customised according to your skin type, concern and treatment area. It may be recommended for concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, fine lines and mild skin laxity.
The treatment does not aim to change your natural skin colour. Instead, it works by supporting the skin’s natural renewal process and improving its overall texture and appearance.
Dermapen may be recommended for:
The results depend on the type and severity of the concern, as well as your individual skin response.
At Pure Derma, mesotherapy is not treated as a one-formula-fits-all procedure.

Yes. Microneedling can help improve the appearance of certain acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Different types of acne scars may require different treatments.
Microneedling may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by improving skin texture and supporting collagen production.
Some improvement may become noticeable after the skin has recovered, but collagen-related changes develop gradually over several weeks.
You may experience redness, warmth, mild swelling or sensitivity after treatment. These effects usually settle as the skin recovers.
It may be suitable for some people with sensitive skin, but treatment settings need to be carefully selected. Your dermatologist will assess your skin before proceeding.
Microneedling is not suitable for every pigmentation concern. Your dermatologist will first determine the cause and type of pigmentation before recommending treatment.

Avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh skincare products, exfoliation, scrubbing and unnecessary touching of the treated area until your skin has recovered.
