I was turned away from my appt. to have the Dermapen procedure saying it would only make my eyes look refreshed. She told me that Fraxel would be better but I was hopeful for the Dermapen procedure because no downtime and its affordable. When I look at Dermapens site they claim this gets rid of under eye wrinkles but at what cost? What is the real story and reviews of Dermapen? I have read some terrible blogs about the $$ they have spent with terrible results. I'm desperate to find answers.
Answer: Fraxel Vs. Microneedling for Under Eyes Unfortunately there is no head to head trial, or split face study that has compared Fraxel to Microneedling treatments. But based on experience with the use of both, results are really dependent on the provider and how the treatments are being done. There are many variables when deciding how well a treatment will perform, such as: the power setting of the Fraxel laser vs. the depth setting on the microneedling pen, and also the number of passes over the areas being treated. The price point however is probably not too different between the two options. Fraxel if used on a higher setting may provide superior results to a session of microneedling but will produce redness after the treatment with a downtime of 3-5 days. Microneedling has less recovery time. Both are great options, and some patients like to alternate between both treatments.

Answer: Dermapen or Fraxel? Hi Sort. We would not waste your time with the dermpen for under eye wrinkles, especially if you have mildly lax (or crepey) skin. To improve this sort of skin requires tissue tightening (HEAT and lots of new collagen). While the dermapen can stimulate the development of small amounts of collagen, it is in no way equivalent to the tissue response when using a "coagulation" setting during fractional resurfacing. This type of setting results in deep tissue heating and tightening of loose skin. Dermal fillers can also benefit the process if volume loss is an issue. The Dermapen is better at breaking up scar tissue than it is at improving wrinkles, but we still prefer fractional resurfacing in all cases for skin texture issues.
