Acne Treatments
Acne is a commonly occurring condition during adolescence, but it can also occur during adulthood. It can be an extremely frustrating condition and if it is left untreated, can cause long lasting damage to the skin. Whether you are a teenager experiencing acne or an adult who is suffering with it, Dermapen treatments can be an effective solution if you are seeking a way to get rid of the unfortunate scarring that usually follows with acne.
Dermapen is a handheld machine with microscopic disposable needles on top. Your aesthetician will run the device across the surface of your skin to create microscopic punctures, encouraging the skin to begin its natural healing processes and repair the damage and begin the production of collagen in the skin. The results of Dermapen with acne scars can be exceptional since the depth of the needles can be adjusted, allowing for the damaged skin to be repaired from a deeper layer.
All acne treatments are tailored to the individual and your own personal experiences and results may vary. Before going ahead with any procedure, we will carry out a one to one consultation with your aesthetician to safely discuss your treatment options.
Why choose a non-surgical acne treatment?
Plasmablast is a revolutionary face lift and skin tightening procedure that requires no form of surgery that tightens and lifts the skin with instant results. It is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that shrinks and reduces any excess skin, bags and wrinkles and is revolutionary in the way it smooths wrinkles and tightens eyelids, drastically reducing hooded eyelids.
The skin around the spot affected by the charge tightens by pulling the cells closer together and this is the only treatment that can successfully reduce the levels of excess skin.
How does a non-surgical acne treatment work?
The dermapen treatment is a variant of the microneedling treatment that has been tailored specifically towards the treatment of acne scarring. The dermapen itself is a specialised handheld device the houses a number of microscopic needles on the top of it, these needles are are used to create a number of microscopic puncture wounds at a predetermind depth in the skin where the acne scars are present. The body reacts to the puncture wounds and triggers its natural healing responses to produce collagen in the affected area, which is responsible for the laxity of the skin.
Because treating acne scars can become slightly uncomfortable, your aesthetician will apply numbing cream before the treatment to help keep you at ease. The surface of the skin may become red or inflamed after treatment and although there is some downtime required following the treatment, it is nowhere near as extensive as with other acne treatments. You will be able to see a difference immediately following your first treatment, though for optimum results we do recommend a course of 4-6 treatments.
What are the benefits?
When used as a method of treatment for acne scarring, the dermapen treatment is capable of providing incredible results. Depending on the depth and severity of the scarring, undergoing a course of dermapen treatments can mask the appearance of the scars and provide a dramatic positive adjustment to the texture of the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dermapen make acne scars worse?
Something that a number of potential patients worry or fret over is that any trauma caused to the skin during a dermapen treatment could actually lead to new scars or make existing scarring worse, but this isn’t the case and a dermapen treatment (when administered properly) will only improve the appearance of acne scars.
Does it work on old scars?
The age of the scar doesn’t make any difference on the outcome of a dermpan treatment, scar tissue is all the same and the new collagen will work to improve the appearance of the scar all the same.
How many sessions do I need for acne scars?
It all depends on the severity of the scarring, for moderate acne scars then somewhere between 3 and 4 sessions are required, but if they are more severe then up to 8 sessions could be required.
Are dermapen results permanent?
The true results of a dermapen treatment are not permanent, although they do provide a permanent boost to the skin. It’s recommended to undergo follow up treatments to prolong the results and keep the skin looking its best.
Do acne scars go away on their own?
While they will fade at least a little bit over time, acne scars won’t ever go away completely on their own.
