Is dermapen a good treatment for deep wrinkles?

Question

I had dermapen two days ago, but have read many reviews stating their skins is worse. I have been told it takes time for improvement. Do you believe I have made a mistake?

Thank you for your question. Immediately after treatment, Dermapen will increase inflammation for a 24-48 hours, however, it should not cause skin to look worse once the skin is completely healed. The duration of the healing process is dependent on each person, but it usually takes about a 1-3 weeks. Treatments should not be given earlier than 4-6 weeks in between. Dermapen is effective for fine lines and wrinkles because it stimulates the growth of collagen and remodels the tissues. I do not think you made a mistake in treating your deep wrinkles with the dermapen, as it should tighten your skin. However, you may need 4-6 treatments to achieve the look you want. Maximal improvement, especially for deeper wrinkles, often requires additional treatments including injectible fillers, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, deep chemical peels. However, the Dermapen is a safe way to go, as the downtime and side effects are minimal. Best wishes.
