54, female, sagging & jowls - SecretDuo and Dermapen 4 with MG-Collection Serum, what will Dermapen add?

Question

54 year old woman just had 4 SecretDuo treatments q. 8 weeks face and neck. Main concern saggy underage skin and jowls. (also mild melasma). Significant positive difference, but keen for further improvement by noninvasive means. Advised to continue with the q.2 months (too much?) or better still to alternate with Dermapen4 and their MG-serums. I can't see from research what the Dermapen will add? There is little objective info available. Can you offer any opinion please?

Certainly! Combining treatments like SecretDuo and Dermapen 4 can be a strategic approach to address sagging skin and jowls, especially when looking for non-invasive options. Here's a brief overview of what Dermapen 4 might add to your treatment plan:

Dermapen 4 Benefits:

Collagen Stimulation: Dermapen 4 uses microneedling technology to create micro-injuries in the skin, which can stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. This can improve skin texture and firmness, potentially enhancing the lifting effect on sagging areas.

Skin Texture and Tone: Microneedling can also improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, which may help with mild melasma by promoting a more even skin tone.

Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during the treatment can enhance the absorption of topical serums, such as the MG-Collection Serum, allowing for deeper penetration and potentially more effective results.

Non-Invasive Approach: Like SecretDuo, Dermapen 4 is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, making it a suitable option for ongoing skin maintenance and improvement.

Treatment Frequency:

Alternating between SecretDuo and Dermapen 4 every two months can provide a balanced approach, allowing your skin to benefit from both radiofrequency and microneedling technologies. It's important to tailor the frequency to your skin's response and tolerance, so consulting with your dermatologist for a personalized plan is advisable.

Overall, Dermapen 4 can complement your existing treatments by boosting collagen production and improving skin texture, potentially enhancing the results you've already seen with SecretDuo.
