Updated

What is Dermapen 4 microneedling?

A professional device uses fine needles to create small, controlled punctures in the skin. This stimulates the natural healing process and collagen remodeling. Your provider adjusts treatment depth and speed for your skin and the area being treated.

What can it help improve?

  • Fine lines and uneven texture
  • Acne scars and selected other scars
  • The appearance of enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Dull-looking skin

Who may be a candidate?

A consultation considers your skin concern, skin tone, medical history, current skincare, and ability to follow aftercare. Active irritation, infection, or problems with healing may affect whether or when treatment is appropriate. Tell the team about cold sores and previous skin reactions.

What happens during treatment?

Your provider assesses the area, explains preparation and comfort measures, and passes the device across the skin using settings selected for you. Dermapen 4 uses mechanical microneedling; it does not deliver the radiofrequency heat used by Morpheus8.

Recovery and results

Redness, sensitivity, and dryness can occur after microneedling. The practice’s care guide explains the first 48 hours, sun protection, and when to restart active skincare. Improvement develops as skin heals and remodels; the number and spacing of sessions depend on the concern.

Other risks include infection, changes in pigmentation, and reactivation of cold sores. Ask the team how these risks apply to your skin and health history.

Questions about the exosome add-on?

An exosome add-on is available to discuss at consultation. Ask which product is used, how it is applied, and what evidence and risks apply to that product. Microneedling devices are not FDA-authorized to deliver cosmetics, topical medicines, or other products into the skin; an add-on should not be assumed to improve results or be FDA-approved.

Pricing and consultation

Dermapen 4 treatments start at $200. Your provider confirms the treatment area, any add-ons, and final price.

Frequently asked questions

How is Dermapen 4 different from Morpheus8?

Dermapen 4 uses mechanical microneedling. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The choice depends on whether your goals concern texture and scars, skin laxity, or both.

Will one microneedling session remove acne scars?

Complete scar removal is not promised. Scar type and depth affect the response, and your provider may recommend a series or a different approach.

When can I restart my skincare?

Follow the Dermapen 4 pre-care and aftercare guide and your provider’s instructions. The timing depends on the product and how your skin is healing.
