As early as the 1900s in Germany, microneedling was first used commercially to treat acne and scarring. Then, in 1905, dermatologist Ernst Kromayer developed and used the first known microneedle with an electric motor to treat scars, birthmarks, and hyperpigmentation.
The device and technique were later improved in 1995 by Dr. Andre Camirand. He pioneered the development of a needle-covered roller that is rolled across the skin, creating tiny pinpricks. Then, just a year later, Dr. Desmond Fernandes used hypodermic needles with a small needle stamp to treat scars and wrinkles and induce collagenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen production.
DermapenWorld first used automated technology in 2010 and has gone through changes and improvements since then. Dermapen 4 microneedling is their recent innovation, featuring increased speed and power with 16 microscopic needles. It can create 1920 holes per second, with a needle depth that can be adjusted depending on the skin issue to be treated.
Continue reading to find out how Dermapen 4 can help your skin and what makes it unique from other microneedling devices.
As previously mentioned, Dermapen 4 has 16 microscopic needles that pierce the skin vertically. The device quickly creates millions of fine fractional channels that can carry up to 80% more nutrients deeper into the skin. The micro-injuries also trigger a natural repair response that ignites collagen and elastin.
The increased production of these essential skin proteins helps treat a number of issues, giving the skin a more rejuvenated appearance. It is also good to know that Dermapen 4 can treat hard-to-reach areas such as around the eyes and nose, as well as larger areas like the neck and decolletage, as well as stomach and legs for stretch marks.
