FAQS
Is the Dermapen treatment painful, and what should I expect during the session?
Because we use advanced, high-speed automated needle technology that enters and exits the skin vertically, the discomfort is drastically lower than old-fashioned manual dermarollers. Most clients describe the sensation as a firm, sandpaper-like scratching or vibration. We constantly monitor your skin’s tolerance and utilize specialized calming protocols to ensure the entire treatment remains comfortable and highly tolerable throughout.
How much downtime is required, and will my face look heavily bruised or damaged?
One of the main advantages of Dermapen is its minimal social downtime. Immediately after the session, your face will look quite red and feel warm, similar to a moderate sunburn. This intense redness typically subsides by 70% within the first 24 hours, transitioning into a slight pinkish glow on day two. You may experience light, dry flaking between days 3 and 5 as old skin cells shed, but your daily routine in Eindhoven will barely be disrupted.
How many sessions are typically required to completely clear acne scars or deep wrinkles?
While you will notice a softer skin texture and a brighter complexion within a week of your first session, structural skin remodeling is a cellular process that takes time. For superficial fine lines, enlarged pores, or general anti-aging, a block of 3 to 4 sessions is ideal. For deep, pitted acne scars or advanced sun damage, we highly recommend a structured plan of 6 sessions, spaced exactly 4 weeks apart to align with your skin’s natural cellular renewal cycle.
What specific post-care rules must I follow during the days after my microneedling session?
Post-treatment care is absolutely critical for your skin’s recovery. For the first 24 to 48 hours, you must leave your skin completely clean: no makeup, no heavy gym workouts, no swimming pools, and no hot saunas to avoid bacterial contamination through the open micro-channels. You must strictly avoid active acids like retinol or vitamin C for 5 days, focusing entirely on intensive hydration. Finally, applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily is mandatory to prevent hyperpigmentation on the fresh skin cells.
