If you've never had Dermapen before I generally recommend starting off at a slightly shallower depth and working deeper in subsequent sessions. Many providers(I don't know what the standard is in France) don't use topical anesthetics, but this will definitely decrease the discomfort when microneedling at deeper settings. We generally recommend waiting 4-6 weeks for subsequent treatments and I would suspect that you would not see a benefit in treating at such a close interval as 2 weeks.
You will not gain much at 2 week intervals. As you know collagen takes 2-4 months to develop, and scars 6 months or more to remodel. Personally, I would stick with 4 weeks.Remember, always treat the scar type and not just use a method eg. Laser etc.. all the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

No harm trying, best used in combination with PRP. You can try Dermapen alone at home, but be careful. For reliable por size reduction specialist often use microneedling with energy such as RF with the Endymed or Infini RF systems, and combine this with PRP. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim....

Microneedling alone is great for aging skin, and with RF, that will help some with sagging. Skin discoloration can be treated multiple ways- laser resurfacing and chemical peels are a couple. At our office we are thrilled with the results of microneedling with the addition of...
