Do you know about Dermapen 4?

Have you heard of "Dermapen 4," which is being widely sought after by beautiful Instagrammers lately?

(Mizuki Okunuma and Ai Kago have both done it...!)

As the name suggests, Dermapen 4 is a "pen-type" medical device. It is a machine meant for medical skin correction, introduced in many aesthetic medical clinics in Japan.*

To explain briefly,

✅ Dermapen 4 creates micro-injuries in the skin (making holes)

✅ The skin regenerates as it heals, resulting in beautiful skin.

(This is referred to as a micro-needling system.)

Instead of introducing various beauty ingredients into the existing skin, it aims to promote skin regeneration and achieve "virgin skin"♡

Let's take a closer look at Dermapen 4.*

① Structure of Dermapen 4

Human skin has the ability to heal itself, known as "natural healing power," when it gets injured.

(For example, when you cut your finger with a knife or burn it, it eventually returns to normal. This is that power.)

The healed and newly regenerated skin is made of younger, newer tissue than the original skin.

Dermapen 4 intentionally creates injuries (holes) in the skin to harness its natural healing power for beautiful regeneration.

The pen tip is equipped with 16 ultra-fine needles, capable of making 1,920 holes at a rate of 120 times per second.

It truly feels like "cutting-edge aesthetic medicine"…!

The company that makes Dermapen is DermapenWorld, headquartered in Australia. Dermapen is famous for being the world's first automated micro-needling system and is said to be the most widely used micro-needling system in the world♡

It's a device loved worldwide, so you can trust it.*

(The first Dermapen was launched in 2011, and Dermapen 4 is a newer device released in 2018!)

The treatment time for Dermapen is about 20 to 30 minutes for the entire face. There may be a slight stinging pain, but most people can endure it. Some clinics may apply a numbing cream for comfort.

② What effects does Dermapen 4 have?

Dermapen 4, which utilizes the natural healing power of the skin by creating micro-injuries, is said to help with:

✅ Prevention of skin aging

(Lifting, tightening, even skin tone)

✅ Fine wrinkles and pores

✅ Healing of scars (burns and stretch marks)

✅ Pigmentation (acne scars and blemishes)

among other improvements.

It is not directly claiming to target "blemishes!" or "acne!", but rather aims to regenerate the skin's natural beauty. It is wonderful to be able to restore the skin's inherent beauty rather than just using serums.

③ What is the downtime for Dermapen 4?

One of the concerns when undergoing aesthetic medical treatments is downtime.

Even if it is for beauty, spending more than a week with a red, flaky face is something most would like to avoid...

Dermapen 4 has a shorter downtime compared to other aesthetic procedures like laser treatments, which is one of its attractive features♡

While it varies depending on the needle length and skin type (this should be discussed with a doctor!), the typical progression seems to look like this:*

① Right after treatment, the skin appears red

② After 2 to 3 hours, the redness begins to diminish

③ The next day, some redness remains (enough to be hidden with makeup)

④ Redness subsides in about 5 days to a week, leading to clearer skin

After about 2 days, the redness is hardly noticeable, so getting treated on a Saturday and being able to go to work normally on Monday is a pleasant point. (Additionally, given the current circumstances, wearing a mask often might be a good chance to try it.)

Aesthetic treatments often have longer downtimes (like a week), and some can result in puffiness or scabbing, so the shorter downtime and the fact that Dermapen 4 typically just causes redness (bruising) makes it more approachable.

④ What is the cost of Dermapen 4?

The cost for Dermapen treatment per session is approximately:

✅ For cheeks only: 12,000 to 15,000 yen

✅ For the entire face: 18,000 to 25,000 yen

This is the range typically seen.

It is recommended to continue with 3-4 sessions every 3-4 weeks.*

⑤ Before and After Cases of Dermapen 4

The appeal of Dermapen is that visible improvement is possible even with just one treatment♡ You can see that the pores have minimized, blemishes have significantly faded, and nasolabial lines have become less prominent. After 2-3 more sessions, it seems like the skin will become beautifully smooth...!

Although there is redness right after the treatment, by the third day, it is hardly noticeable, and by the fourth day, a translucent glow appears.*

This is a before-and-after case from undergoing Dermapen 6 times♡ A person with depressed scars on their cheeks has seen those scars become shallow enough to be less noticeable after 6 treatments.

It's amazing that something like uneven skin texture, which is usually hard to improve on one's own, can become beautiful through the skin's own power using Dermapen…!

⑥ Combinations with Dermapen

Dermapen can be combined with other treatments to expect even further results.

By creating holes in the skin with Dermapen and infusing beauty ingredients, the effects can penetrate deeper into the skin and enhance results.*

✅ Velvet Skin

(A general term for the menu combining Dermapen 4 and collagen peel. It promotes collagen production and provides benefits such as improved skin elasticity and quality.)

✅ Venus White

(Effective for whitening and hydration.)

✅ Chanel Injection

(Contains highly concentrated beauty ingredients, effective for all skin concerns.)

✅ Human Stem Cell Culture Solution

(Contains growth factors and effective for age-related concerns.)

Each clinic may have various combinations available, so it might be a good idea to consult with a doctor to add them as options.*

Dermapen: A bit scary but intriguing!

Dermapen 4 allows you to create holes in the skin and regenerate beautiful skin using your own natural healing power.

✅ Instead of adding various ingredients to the existing skin, the skin is reborn.

✅ Short downtime (Get beautiful within a week!)

✅ Around 20,000 yen per treatment (recommended number of sessions is 3-4)

It offers many attractive features in medical aesthetics.*

Aesthetic treatments that rely on lasers or injections often have long downtimes or high costs, making them difficult to approach, but Dermapen 4 seems to be suitable for those considering "medical aesthetics" for the first time!

(Brides-to-be might want to undergo 3-4 sessions starting about six months before their wedding♩)

Since it’s available at dermatology clinics, search for a nearby clinic that offers it♡
