What is dermal needling at OFF & ON Newmarket?

Dermal needling is a skin appearance treatment which uses a pen device which glides over the skin with micro needles. This creates tiny punctures into the skin which starts a controlled healing response which in turn stimulates natural growth factors and pushes hyaluronic acid into the skin, boosts collagen and elastin and repairs cell DNA. The result is a smoother, firmer and more radiant skin. There is minimal downtime.

Dermal needling also helps target concerns related to acne scarring, sun damage, signs of ageing and skin texture.

How does it work?

OFF & ON uses the most advanced dermal needling device – Dermapen 4. Dermapen 4 provides minimal pain and no epidermal tearing and is the only dermal needling pen with a dedicated Scar Treatment Setting.

Dermapen 4 works by using a gamma sterilized needle cartridge that oscillates in and out of the skin at 120 ops, creating 1,920 micro channels, which is 1 million in total across the area. These micro channels stimulate controlled healing from the body, the more injury you create, the more growth factors created. 3-6 treatments are required depending on your concern, but our team will write you a treatment plan specific to your concerns during consult.

Who is suitable for dermal needling at Newmarket OFF & ON?

Everyone! Dermal needling is suitable for all skin types.

It works great for clients with these problem areas:

• Skin showing signs of ageing (loss in collagen and elastin)

Who is not suitable?

How long should it take before I see results?

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 3 to 6 treatments (spaced 2-8 weeks apart). The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with the recommended post-treatment care.
