Skin Needling With Dermapen 4™

With so many different skin treatments out there promising to address concerns such as acne, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and pigmentation, how do I know if Dermapen is the right treatment for me? 

Dermapen 4™ treats a number of skin conditions on all different skin tones and conditions, including, but not limited to; hormonal pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, scaring, stretch marks, problem skin and general skin rejuvenation. We also offer Dermapen 4™ for Pigmentation using Brite Lite which helps reduce the appearance of deep seated pigmentation such as melasma, age spots and sun damage while improving skin tone and texture.

 

How many treatments do I need and how quickly will I see results? Will the results last? 

While some people may find the treatment a little bit uncomfortable, Lovely by skin institute uses the latest Dermapen 4™ technology, which is designed to be a painless experience. If a customer wishes to opt for numbing cream prior to the treatment this is an option.

 

I hate needles! Does Dermapen hurt? 

If a customer wishes to opt for numbing cream prior to the treatment, this is an option.

 

What is Dermapen?

The Dermapen 4™ treatment uses a disposable single use tip which has 16 tiny needles that penetrate the upper layers of skin to a depth of 3mm. The treatment causes 1 million channels to your skins surface. This causes natural growth factors to be released and pushes nourishing hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, improving inter-cellular communication, stimulating the repair of the DNA in the cells and improving the overall structure/function of the skin

Ulfit

Ulfit has been described as “a face-lift without the knife.” So can Ulfit replace a facelift and can I expect similar results?

Ulfit is a non-surgical and non-invasive skin tightening  and face-lifting treatment. It contours, tightens and lifts in the targeted areas and requires no downtime. It is ideal for those that want to tighten areas such as the forehead, eye area, cheeks, jowls, wrinkles, chin and décolletage.. Some people notice a difference soon after treatment. Long term results develop over time as old collagen is regenerated with new collagen. As this collagen regeneration process continues, improvement will be seen at approximately 6 weeks and continue up to 12 weeks after the initial treatment. We recommend two treatments three months apart, then one treatment every 12 – 18 months. Ulfit treatment also contours and tightens areas of the body such as arms, abdomen and knees.

 

How does this process work? 

Ulfit uses advanced high-intensity focused safe ultrasound (HIFU) energy to firm, tighten, lift & contour face and body skin. It involves a hand-held ultrasound device being passed over the treatment area while transmitting high-intensity, focused ultrasound energy to generate a heat point of up to 75 degrees celsius, deep in the skin’s layers. This creates localised tissue damage which kick starts the body’s wound-healing process, stimulating collagen regeneration and skin tightening.

 

What does the treatment feel like? 

As this is a non-surgical and non-invasive, you can expect the treatment to be significantly more comfortable in comparison. During treatment you can expect a warm bubbling sensation under the skin, and you may experience some discomfort due to how deep the ultrasound technology penetrates.
