Is applying facial Dermapen a painful procedure?
Before starting the procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to the area under application, thus significantly reducing the degree of discomfort, so we can say that this is an almost painless procedure.
Will there be irritation after treatment?
At the end of the application of Dermapen, the skin shows a slight redness, which is not particularly annoying and subsides within a short time (24-48 hours). At the same time, the skin has an improved texture and is much more radiant.
What is the perfect time to make a facial Dermapen?
It is preferable to apply the treatment during the winter months, where sun exposure is limited, but the use of sunscreen is required, as in all facial treatments.
Are there any side effects?
As with any medical treatment there are some side effects, which are limited when the case is properly applied and selected. Dermapen when applied very intensely and at great depth to sensitive skin or in areas where the skin is thinner can cause injury that can bother us for a few days. In addition, direct exposure to the sun can cause post-traumatic hyperpigmentation (freckles). Finally, the possibility of an allergic reaction to the material used is possible but small and should always be taken into account.
What is the difference with the roller I can make at home?
The roller could be said to be a "Paleolithic" derma pen. You can talk to older ladies of good company or beauticians who tell you that they used the roller very often at home. Of course it has some effect, but it can not be compared with the result you will receive from a treatment in the doctor's office and the safety provided to you, with the sterilization conditions provided.
