Dermapen 4 MD® Collagen Induction therapy / Skin microneedling


The Dermapen 4 MD is the very latest technology upgrade and we are pleased to be one of the first in New Zealand to offer it after a number of years using the Dermapen 3 MD. It is an advanced fractional micro-needling device which has revolutionised the treatment of certain skin disorders. Up to 1920 micro punctures per second are delivered resulting in stimulation of new collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate the skin and correct abnormal scar collagen. There is huge global enthusiasm for this treatment due to its effectiveness and safety profile.

It is particularly useful to treat:

Acne scars
Surgical scars
Stretch-marks
Sun-damaged and aged skin (discolouration / fine-lines / broken capillaries / dullness)
Being so safe, makes it ideal for skin-ageing prevention 2 to 4 times per year

It’s advantages are:

It's your own collagen and elastin. The procedure stimulates your skin to produce its own natural components. It makes your skin more youthful, rather than injecting an artificial substance to try to look like more youthful skin.
