Treatment Overview
Dermapen Therapy is an advanced form of microneedling that uses an automated device with multiple fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production.
For stretch marks, Dermapen Therapy helps by thickening and remodeling the dermis, improving skin texture, reducing discoloration, and softening the depth of striae. In Korean dermatology, it is often combined with PRP, Exosome Therapy, or chemical peels for enhanced regenerative outcomes.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Induction: Promotes dermal remodeling to fade stretch marks.
- Improved Skin Texture: Smooths rough or depressed striae.
- Elasticity Boost: Restores firmness to stretched skin.
- Discoloration Reduction: Helps blend stretch marks with surrounding skin tone.
- Safe & Minimally Invasive: Natural regeneration with minimal downtime.
- Synergy: Works best when paired with PRP, PN, or exosome boosters.
Ideal Candidates
Dermapen Therapy in Korea for stretch marks is recommended for:
- Adults with new (red) or old (white) stretch marks.
- Patients seeking a non-surgical solution for striae reduction.
- Those with stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, or arms.
Comparison with other treatments:
- Dermapen Therapy: Best for collagen stimulation + texture repair.
- Chemical Peels: Best for exfoliation and surface brightening.
- Fractional CO₂ Laser: Best for deep dermal remodeling and scar-like stretch marks.
- PRP Therapy: Best for natural healing and regeneration.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular-level repair and faster recovery.
Possible Risks & Complications
Dermapen Therapy is safe, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness & Sensitivity: Similar to a mild sunburn, lasting 24–48 hours.
- Minor Swelling: Temporary, resolves quickly.
- Dryness & Flaking: As new skin regenerates.
- Rare Risks: Infection or pigmentation changes if aftercare is neglected.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Automated Microneedling Device: Dermapen uses ultra-fine needles with adjustable depth (0.5–2.5 mm).
- Controlled Micro-Injuries: Stimulate natural healing without damaging surrounding tissue.
- Optional Boosters: PRP, PN, exosomes, or vitamin serums applied through microchannels for deeper penetration.
- Treatment Areas: Abdominal stretch marks, thighs, hips, breasts, and arms.
- Protocol: 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for visible results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Redness, mild swelling, or pinpoint bleeding.
- 1–3 Days: Skin feels tighter, redness subsides.
- 1–2 Weeks: Smoother texture and early fading of stretch marks.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup and harsh skincare for 24–48 hours.
- Apply hydrating creams and soothing serums.
- Use SPF 50+ daily to prevent pigmentation.
- Avoid saunas, hot baths, and alcohol for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Improved texture and reduced redness of stretch marks.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Visible fading, smoother skin, and better elasticity.
- Long-Term: Lasting results with maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
