Product Information

Vitamin C: For those looking to brighten the complexion and fade pigmentation and dark spots, a high quality Vitamin C serum will enrich the dermis with antioxidants that neutralise harmful free-radicals in the atmosphere that can bring about premature ageing. Vitamin C is considered to be an ‘active’ ingredient so if you have sensitive skin, as with anything, do a patch test of your Vitamin C serum before applying to the whole face. Avoid active ingredients (such as AHAs, BHAs, retinols), toners and exfoliants Can I get a step by step guide to aftercare? Our bodies naturally produce EGF, but as with all good things, the production decreases with age, which slows down the speed at which the skin can repair itself. If you’re noticing early signs of aging in your skin, it’s probably a good time to start incorporating EGF into your routine. You might want to do so earlier if you find your skin experiences scarring or red marks after breakouts.

There is no downtime as such, however, the first day or two after your treatment you will experience redness and your skin will flake. Avoid using Dr Pen if you wish to attend an event within 48 – 72 hours post-treatment. DisclaimerDo not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare for at least 7 days post-treatment. EGF (epidermal growth factor) is used in medicine to speed up wound recovery, and also has multiple benefits for skin, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles, improving hydration, and preventing hyperpigmentation. Microneedling is a skincare treatment where you use a derma roller or a dermapen to create deliberate wounds on the skin with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production. Through monthly treatments, derma rollers and dermapens can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scarring, while also firming and brightening your complexion. Nano needling is safe to perform on all skin types and colours and so long as care is taken to protect the skin after nano needling, there is no risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (hyperpigmentation that occurs as a result of inflammation or trauma).

Reduce the appearance of scars or skin damage, such as acne scars and stretch marks on the face or body. There's a couple of reasons for why we suggest microneedling with a serum. By pairing your treatment with a serum you may find it more comfortable during the actual treatment, as the serums will help your device glide over the skin more smoothly. Secondly, it also improves product absorption by up to 300%, helping you get the most out of your serums ingredients and resulting in a brighter complexion! Yes, you can wear makeup after nano needling! To be extra gentle on your skin, we recommend using a mineral-based foundation or concealer. This will ensure that your skin can breathe.Days Post-Treatment: Continue to apply a high protection sunscreen daily and avoid direct and extended sunlight for up to 1-week post-needling. Your skincare routine should focus on hydrating and moisturising products, continuing to avoid active ingredients, acids, scrubs and toners. Make sure skin is cleansed and dried before applying a numbing cream. Apply an alcohol solution such as Isocol Rubbing Alcohol or Chlorexydine over dry skin with a cotton ball before using your microneedling device. Therefore, by applying a peptide infused serum while microneedling you will concentrate their effects from vastly improved absorption. Apply numbing cream (optional). You can buy a numbing cream over the counter at the pharmacy and apply according to their directions. Using Dr Pen Once you’ve applied the numbing cream, smooth a serum such as Hyaluronic Acid or EGF over the surface of your skin and glide the Dr Pen device over it in a cross like motion. After-care

The Dr. Pen Auto Microneedle System is a revolutionary micro-needling skincare device which aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate your skin.Yes! If you are micro or nano needling at home make sure to follow these steps…if your treatment is being done by a professional ask them for their expert aftercare advice. When the silicone tipped pins gently touch the skin, they create thousands of nano channels, which allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper and have a greater effect on the skin. Within 15 minutes after nano needling, the nano channels close themselves. Hours After: Begin to gently exfoliate the dry/flaking skin to help speed up the recovery process, and continue to hydrate the skin, morning and night.Please note that this step is totally optional and if you choose to exfoliate to speed along the process, be sure not to exfoliate with any chemical or physical exfoliants, as both can irritate your skin as it heals. Do not exfoliate if the skin feels too sensitive – the flakiness and dryness of the skin will naturally subside. Nano needling is a non-invasive skin treatment that heralds a multitude of benefits - improved tone and texture, reduced appearance of enlarged pores, improvement to fine lines and reduced pigmentation. This is because nano needling does not penetrate deep into the skin where melanocytes (protein fibres composed of melanin, which produce pigment) lie, so no melanocytes are disrupted or inflamed during the needling process.

Whether it’s choosing the right microneedling pen for your needs, understanding how to get the most from your microneedling treatments or simply determining how to achieve your skin goals - we’re here to help! Micro-needling is a process called collagen induction therapy (CIT). CIT is the skin’s own ability to repair itself. By using Dr Pen, you are treating yourself to CIT and creating controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair process by making deliberate micro injuries to the skin. This then creates and triggers the release of growth factors for the production of new collagen and elastin, which what we lose as we age. As with hyaluronic acid, always choose a fragrance-free formula to avoid any potentially reactive ingredients.Once again, HA is your best friend! An extremely popular skincare ingredient which features in many moisturisers and serums, hyaluronic acid is also an amazing serum for microneedling. Once you see how beautifully your skin glows after nano needling, you might not want to cover it with foundation at all! In that case, it’s absolutely fine not to wear makeup over your freshly needled skin - a good hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Acid and of course, a high-protection sunscreen is all you need. Can you use your normal skincare after nano needling? Nano needling is gentle and safe, but very effective. What’s the difference between microneedling and nano needling? As we grow older, the cycle of new skin growth slows and less collagen and elastin are produced. This results in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots (pigmentation). Applying creams and serums on your face may succeed to moisturise the outer layer of dead skin, but no penetration takes place to the living part of the skin. The active molecules are simply too big to pass through the ultra protective epidermis layer. Dr Pen creates "micro-channels" which allow for deeper penetration of serums and ingredients results in higher efficacy, meaning you get more out of your serums than usual.
