How Does Dermapen 4 Work?
Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep our skin soft, smooth and supple. As we age, our bodies produce less of these key proteins, which leads to skin laxity and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Sun exposure, weight fluctuations and childbearing add concerns of their own, such as stretch marks and pigmented spots.
Microneedling triggers an increase in collagen and elastin production by stimulating the body’s healing response. When the Dermapen 4 is applied to the skin’s surface, it inserts small needles vertically into the layer below, creating minuscule wounds. The skin reacts by engaging its healing response. New collagen and elastin are generated to bolster the skin’s supportive structure and remodel the complexion.
Frequently asked questions
When you come to Kaya Cosmedica for your treatment, we will begin by cleansing and sterilising your skin. The needle depth and speed will be adjusted to the appropriate levels for your condition, then start the needling process. Once the treatment is completed your skin is cleansed and you have the option of adding a hydrating mask.
Immediately after the treatment your skin will be quite warm, tight and red. These side effects are normal and will subside within 2-5 days.
Immediately following your treatment:
- For the first 12 hours following treatment, avoid heat or sweating, and exercise.
- For the first 48 hours, avoid sun exposure, saunas, spas or chlorinated pools.
- Limit stimulants like coffee and alcohol where possible, and avoid hot showers or friction to the face such as abrasive towels.
For the next 7 days post treatment:
- Full sunscreen protection is recommended with a broad spectrum SPF 50, sun avoidance, hat and sunglasses.
- Cleanse the skin with a general cleanser
- Avoid actives (hydroxy acids, retinoids, Vitamin C)
- Once all signs of inflammation have subsided (typically 5 – 7 days post treatment) resume a normal skincare regime.
- Flaking may occur at 3-5 days – do not pick, scratch or abrade the skin in the treated area. This will impact your results.
- Avoid facial waxing and shaving
Dermapen 4 microneedling can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face and body. Some common areas that can be treated with Dermapen 4 include:
- Face
- Neck
- Decolletage
- Scalp

The team at Kaya Cosmedica will assess your skin to determine whether microneedling with the Dermapen 4 is the right treatment to help you reach your aesthetic goals. Unlike some other rejuvenation therapies, this procedure is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin colours. Most people who are in good health can undergo skin needling with minimal risk of adverse effects. Contraindications to Dermapen 4 treatments include skin diseases such as psoriasis or eczema, use of certain medications, a history of keloid scarring and pregnancy.
