Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This stimulates a wound-healing response that can improve texture, fine lines, pores and selected scars without removing the surface of the skin.

TREATMENT TIMEUsually 30 to 60 minutes

DOWNTIMERedness is common for a short period

RESULTSGradual over several weeks

What it can address

What can Microneedling & Dermapen address?

Microneedling & Dermapen is only useful if the change you want is in the tissue it works on. Dr. Nivine assesses uneven texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, dullness before deciding whether microneedling & dermapen is the right route. The same visible concern can arise from different tissue layers, so examination determines which pathway makes sense.

Uneven texture
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Dullness
Fine lines
Early photoaging

Microneedling & Dermapen is selected only when the diagnosis and treatment target match what the procedure can realistically influence. Clinical findings take priority; another mechanism, contraindication or unrealistic expectation redirects the treatment plan.

How it works

How microneedling and Dermapen work

Tiny sterile needles create controlled micro-injuries at selected depths. The skin responds by initiating repair processes that include collagen and elastin remodeling.

Benefits

Stimulates collagen remodeling
Can improve texture and pores
Suitable for a range of skin types when appropriately selected
Can be combined with regenerative topical or injectable protocols

Dr. Nivine’s approach

Dr. Nivine adjusts depth and treatment intensity according to the area and concern. Scar treatment, pore refinement and general skin rejuvenation require different settings and treatment plans.

Treatment journey

What to expect

01
Before treatment
Before Microneedling & Dermapen, skin type, diagnosis, active inflammation, recent sun exposure or procedures and relevant medications are reviewed. Treatment settings are selected only after the clinical target has been defined.
02
During treatment
During Microneedling & Dermapen, treatment depth, energy, passes or contact time are adjusted to the device or product and the observed tissue response. More intensity is not automatically better.

TREATMENT COURSE

How the result develops

Results after Microneedling & Dermapen develop according to the target. Early redness or swelling can hide the true response, and biological changes such as collagen remodeling, pigment clearance or tissue turnover may continue after the surface looks recovered.

The course is adjusted to treatment depth, recovery and visible response at each review rather than to a fixed package. Gradual over several weeks. Improvement can continue with collagen remodeling. Treatment is often performed as a series.

Combination treatment

A combined approach

Some patients benefit from combining Microneedling & Dermapen with treatments that address a different layer. Depending on the concern, Dr. Nivine may consider PRP Therapy, Chemical Peels, Skin Boosters. Combination therapy is not automatic; every component must have a defined purpose.
