Dermapen 4 (collagen induction therapy)
What is it?
Dermapen 4 is a microneedling treatment, also called collagen induction therapy. It creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, which prompts your skin to stimulate its own collagen and elastin. Your skin does the rebuilding; we simply give it a reason to start.
What does it treat?
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Pigmentation
Tammy has lived with cystic acne herself, so she understands how much skin concerns like these can weigh on you. That experience shapes the care you receive.
What to expect
Your treatment takes about 45 to 60 minutes. It feels quite prickly, but most people find it bearable and worth it. Afterwards, expect mild redness for 24 to 48 hours. Your therapist will go through aftercare with you so your skin heals well.
How many sessions?
We recommend at least 6 sessions. Collagen takes time to build, and a course works with your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Your therapist will tailor the plan to your skin.
Cost
From $299 per session. Your exact price depends on the area and the plan we build together, and we will always confirm it before you begin.
