Dermapen is a microneedling technique that works the skin with very fine microneedles: it creates microchannels that activate the skin's natural renewal process and help active ingredients absorb better. At Nova Center we use it to improve the quality of facial skin —uneven texture, visible pores, mild marks or the first signs of ageing— and it can be performed with or without an active-ingredient cocktail, depending on your goal. It is a different technique from RF microneedling. It tends to suit skin that is looking for gradual, consistent care rather than an immediate change. The number of sessions, the working depth and the protocol are always defined at a prior assessment at our clinic in Les Corts, Barcelona.

Frequently asked questions
What is dermapen and what is it for?
It is a microneedling technique that uses microneedles to create microchannels in the skin and activate its natural renewal process. It is aimed at improving texture, visible pores and the overall quality of facial skin. The specific goal is assessed on an individual basis.
How is dermapen different from RF microneedling?
Dermapen works only with the mechanical stimulation of the microneedles, whereas RF microneedling also adds radiofrequency energy. They are different treatments, each with its own protocol; the assessment helps indicate which may fit your skin and goal best.
How many sessions are recommended and how long is each one?
It is usually planned in sessions within a progressive programme. Each session lasts, indicatively, around 60 minutes. The number of sessions and the price of the plan are decided at the prior assessment, based on your skin and the goal you want to work on.
Does dermapen hurt?
The sensation varies with the area and the working depth; many people describe it as a tolerable discomfort. It is adapted during the session and, where appropriate, measures are used to improve comfort. The assessment explains what you can expect for your case.
Can it be done with or without an active cocktail?
Yes. Dermapen can be performed on its own or combined with an active-ingredient cocktail chosen according to the skin's needs. The most suitable option for your case is decided at the assessment, along with the rest of the protocol.
What aftercare is there, and who should be assessed first?
After the session we recommend following the hydration and sun-protection guidance given on an individual basis. Not every skin or every moment is suitable, so a prior assessment is advisable to confirm the treatment is appropriate for you.
Do I need a prior assessment?
We recommend an assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable and define the protocol for your case.
Can I expect a specific result?
Results vary from person to person. We do not promise a specific result.
