Dermapen Skin Needling

At Pretty in the City, Brisbane, we use the Dermapen 4™ which is one of the world’s most advanced microneedling devices.

Dermapen skin needling is a scientifically backed treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural repair process to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. It is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns and all skin types.

How Dermapen Skin Needling Works

Dermapen 4™ uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and growth factors.

The result is smoother, stronger, and more youthful looking skin over time.

This treatment is:
- Fast and precise
- Minimally invasive
- Safe for all skin tones and types

Strict hygiene and single use needle cartridges ensure the highest standards of safety and no risk of cross contamination.

What Skin Needling Can Help Improve

Dermapen treatments are effective for:

Acne and congestion
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and ageing skin
Acne scarring and general scarring
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores
Rosacea
Stretch marks
Hair thinning and loss

What to Expect

Dermapen skin needling is often referred to as a lunchtime treatment due to minimal downtime. Some areas such as the forehead and upper lip may feel more sensitive, however the treatment is performed quickly and comfortably. After treatment, your skin may appear red for a short period, similar to mild sun exposure. This usually settles within 24 to 48 hours.

Results and Treatment Plan

Many clients notice improvement after just one treatment, with optimal results achieved through a course of treatments.

Because skin works in cycles, collagen production continues to improve for months following treatment.

Recommended treatment plans vary depending on concern:

  • Ageing and sun damage: 4 sessions, 6 weeks apart
  • Fine lines and wrinkles: 4 sessions, 6 weeks apart
  • Acne and breakouts: 4 to 6 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart
  • Scarring: 4 to 5 sessions, 6 weeks apart
  • Pigmentation: 3 to 6 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart
  • Rosacea: 4 to 6 sessions, 6 to 8 weeks apart
  • Enlarged pores: 4 sessions, 5 weeks apart
  • Stretch marks: 4 to 6 sessions, 6 weeks apart
  • Hair loss: 4 to 6 sessions, 4 weeks apart
Each treatment is finished with a cooling sheet mask
