What is the Demei Microneedling Pen? Learn about its effects, price, recovery period, and post-treatment care in one go.
Have you noticed recently that your pores are becoming more prominent, acne scars aren't improving, and even after spending a lot of time on skincare, your skin's texture hasn't changed much? As more and more people pay attention to skin management, the "Dermapen 4" microneedling treatment has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in recent years. By stimulating the skin's repair mechanisms through microneedling, it helps improve problems such as enlarged pores, acne scars, and fine lines, and improves overall skin texture.
However, what are the specific effects of the DeMei microneedling treatment? How long is the recovery period? How is the price calculated? This article summarizes the key points you must understand before undergoing the DeMei microneedling treatment, including the treatment principle, effects, price, recovery period, and post-treatment care, to help you establish a complete understanding before the treatment and assess whether you are suitable for the DeMei microneedling treatment.
What is the Demei Microneedle Pen? Understand its working principle at a glance.
The Dermapen 4 microneedle pen is a Class II medical device (electric microneedle device) approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan and has obtained FDA certification in the United States. It meets relevant regulations in terms of device safety, needle depth accuracy and quality management.
It uses the brand's patented AOVN™ (Advanced Oscillating Vertical Needling) technology, which uses a high-speed and stable vertical needle insertion method to deliver treatment to skin tissue at different depths. This can promote skin repair-related responses, assist in collagen production, and thus meet the treatment needs of different areas and skin conditions.
In addition to stimulating skin repair, the micro-channels created by microneedling help subsequent skincare ingredients to contact the skin more evenly. Therefore, suitable repair products are usually used after the procedure to help maintain skin stability. Many clinics also customize treatments by using different repair products according to individual skin conditions.
4 Major Effects of Demei Microneedling Pen | Understand the Improvement Direction of Acne Scars, Pores, and Fine Lines
What skin problems can the Demei Microneedling Pen improve? Why are more and more people including it in their skin management options in recent years? Below is a summary of the four common effects of the Demei Microneedling Pen to give you a comprehensive understanding.
Improves acne scars and pitted skin, leaving skin smoother.
While acne will fade over time, the resulting acne scars often take much longer to heal. The Demei Microneedle Pen stimulates the skin's repair response through minimally invasive techniques, promoting collagen regeneration and helping to improve superficial acne scars, pitted scars, and uneven skin texture.
Minimizes pores, improves skin texture, and enhances skin smoothness.
Large pores are not only related to sebum secretion, but may also be affected by factors such as skin aging and collagen loss. The Demei microneedling pen can stimulate skin renewal and collagen production, helping to improve problems such as large pores, rough skin texture, and uneven skin tone, making the skin look more refined and smooth.
Reduces fine lines and improves skin showing early signs of aging.
As we age, fine lines may begin to appear around the eyes, corners of the mouth, or forehead. The Dermamicroneedle stimulates the skin's natural repair mechanisms, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve fine lines and sagging skin caused by aging, allowing the skin to maintain better elasticity and firmness.
Enhance skin radiance and create a healthy, luminous complexion
In addition to improving skin problems such as pores, acne scars, and fine lines, the Derma Microneedling Pen creates microchannels during the procedure, which helps subsequent skincare ingredients to reach the skin more evenly. When used with suitable post-treatment repair products, it can enhance skin hydration and daily care, helping to maintain skin stability and resulting in a more refined and radiant complexion.
How is the price of the Demei Microneedle Pen calculated? Three major factors affecting the cost.
One of the most pressing questions when considering the Demei microneedling treatment is: "How much does one treatment cost?" However, there is no fixed price for Demei microneedling. Doctors usually assess pores, acne scars, fine lines, or overall skin condition before planning the appropriate needle depth, treatment area, and combination of treatments. The actual cost will vary depending on individual skin condition, treatment area, and combination of treatments.
Common factors affecting the cost of the Dememicroneedle pen include:
- Treatment area and treatment site:
The cost of the Demei microneedling treatment varies depending on the area being treated. For example, the treatment time, materials, and planning methods required for improving localized acne scars and pore problems differ from those for full-face skin conditioning. Therefore, the wider the treatment area, the higher the overall cost will usually be.
- Should it be used with repair products such as growth factors?
Some treatments may be combined with products such as PLT (high concentration platelet-1,000 growth factor) and repair serums to assist in post-treatment skin repair and maintenance. The overall cost will vary depending on the type and source of the ingredients and the treatment design.
- Physician experience and clinic treatment planning:
The Demae Microneedling Pen is not simply a machine operation; the needle depth setting, application site, and treatment strategy all affect the treatment results. Experienced physicians can adjust the treatment details according to different skin conditions, providing a plan more tailored to individual needs.
Therefore, when evaluating a Demei microneedling treatment, it is not recommended to only compare the cost of a single session. You should also understand the treatment content, the doctor's evaluation method, and the post-operative care arrangements to choose a treatment method that better suits your skin condition and improvement needs.
How long is the recovery period for the Dememicroneedling procedure? How should I care for my skin after the procedure?
Besides the effectiveness and price, many people are also concerned about the recovery period after the DeMei microneedling procedure. Since this is a minimally invasive treatment, temporary redness, slight swelling, or tightness after the procedure are normal. These symptoms usually subside within 1-3 days, and most people recover to a more stable state in about 3-7 days. However, the actual recovery time can vary depending on individual constitution, treatment depth, and post-operative care.
Day 1 after surgery
Since the skin is still in the repair phase, it is recommended to avoid activities that may irritate the skin or increase the risk of infection, such as:
- Avoid applying makeup or using makeup products.
- Avoid hot springs, saunas, or steam baths.
- Avoid swimming or prolonged soaking in pools, spas, or other bodies of water.
- Avoid strenuous exercise to prevent excessive sweating from irritating the skin.
Within one week after surgery
Because the skin barrier has not yet fully recovered, it is recommended to avoid using irritating skincare products at this stage to reduce the chance of sensitivity or discomfort, including:
- Discontinue use of acid-based skincare products (such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and mandelic acid).
- Discontinue use of tretinoin or other irritating topical medications.
- Avoid exfoliation, scrubbing, or other irritating treatments.
Strengthen moisturizing and sun protection
The key to post-treatment care is maintaining skin stability. It's recommended to choose simple, gentle moisturizing products to enhance the skin's moisture retention capacity. Daily sun protection is also essential when going out; carry a hat, parasol, or sunscreen to reduce UV damage, which helps with skin repair and maintains the treatment's effects.
A friendly reminder: If persistent redness, swelling, pain, oozing, or other abnormalities occur after the procedure, you should return to the clinic as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment by a professional physician. Avoid using medications or folk remedies on your own, as this may affect skin recovery!
Common Q&A about Demei Microneedle Pen
Q1: Will the Demei microneedling treatment be painful?
Since most people receive numbing cream before treatment, the sensation during the procedure is usually a slight tingling or vibration, which is generally within an acceptable range. If the treatment is deeper, such as to improve more noticeable acne scars or pits, there may be more noticeable irritation. However, the doctor will adjust the treatment parameters according to the treatment area, skin condition, and tolerance level to balance treatment effectiveness and comfort as much as possible.
Q2: What skin problems can the Demei Microneedle Pen treat?
The Derma Microneedle Pen creates tiny channels on the skin's surface using high-speed microneedles, stimulating the regeneration of collagen and elastin while increasing the penetration rate of skincare ingredients. This helps the skin gradually regain its smoothness, refinement, and radiance, making it suitable for improving various skin concerns, including acne scars, pitted scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, rough skin texture, and dull skin tone.
Q3: How long does one course of treatment with the Demei Microneedling Pen take?
Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated. A full-face treatment typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, including makeup removal and cleansing, applying numbing cream, microneedling, and post-treatment care. If only localized acne scars, pores, or specific areas are being treated, the treatment time is usually shorter.
Q4: How should I care for my skin after a Deme Microneedling treatment?
Within 48 hours after treatment, the skin may experience redness, a slight warming sensation, or mild dryness. During this time, avoid using skincare products containing acids, whitening agents, exfoliants, or alcohol, as well as hot springs, saunas, strenuous exercise, and prolonged sun exposure. Use repair products as advised by your doctor.
Q5: How many times do I need to use the Demei Microneedling Pen to feel the effects?
Many people believe that one treatment is enough to completely improve acne scars or pores, but the actual number of treatments required will vary depending on skin condition, improvement goals, and doctor's assessment. Some people may feel that their skin texture becomes smoother after one treatment, but if they want to improve more noticeable acne scars, pits, or pore problems, multiple treatments are usually required according to the treatment plan.
Q6: How often should I get the Demei Microneedling treatment?
Treatment intervals will vary depending on individual skin condition, desired improvement, and physician assessment. Generally, the physician will schedule each treatment session based on the depth of treatment and the speed of skin repair to ensure that the skin has sufficient time for complete repair (usually about 4 to 6 weeks).
Q7: Is the Demei Microneedle Pen suitable for everyone?
Whether the treatment is suitable for patients with infections, severe inflammation, open wounds, or specific skin conditions needs to be assessed by a physician. Furthermore, individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other special health conditions are advised to inform the medical team before the treatment.
