    Micro-needling (Dermapen™)

    Remodel your skin to improve fine lines, rough skin texture, enlarged pores, scars and stretch marks.

    Dermapen™ is a revolutionary micro-needling treatment in Manchester, Cheshire & Lancashire that lifts, tightens and rejuvenates the skin. Unlike the traditional dermarollers, the Dermapen™ is able to deliver treatment at a more controlled depth, which is more comfortable, targeted with less downtime. It effectively targets the dermis (the skin beneath the epidermis) to soften lines and wrinkles and tackle sun-damaged skin and uneven pigmentation. It can also be used to treat acne scars and stretch marks.

    Widely recognised as the gold standard in micro-needling technology, Dermapen™ works by stimulating the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This production enables the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely. The results are smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin. Dr Nicole uses Dermapen™ as part of her full face, systematic approach to facial rejuvenation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Micro-needling with Dermapen™ at Dr Nicole Dermatology
      • What is micro-needling?

        Micro-needling is a fractional rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This promotes a remodelling response within the body which renews skin cells. As the skin repairs, collagen and elastin production is triggered. This gives an almost immediate plumping effect. Micro-needling can tackle a range of skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, mild scarring or stretch marks, uneven skin texture, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores and sun damaged skin.

      • How many treatments should I have?

        We recommend a course of 3-6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. Treating acne scars may take a little longer, This treatment generally works best for mild scars and stretch marks.
