DP4 Advance Micro-needling System (FAQ)
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, leading to collagen production, improved texture, and overall skin rejuvenation.
The DP4 Dermapen is a FDA approved handheld device used at New Skin by Lynn. It is superior and safer in every aspect of microneedling. A built-in mechanism makes certain the needles are calibrated to precisely penetrate down to the appropriate layer of the skin depending on the concern being treated. It is designed for smoother needle penetration thus reducing the risk of dragging or tearing the skin. The disposable cartridge ensures each treatment comes with a sterile set of 16 needles eliminating any risk of cross contamination. With its proprietary Advanced Oscillation Vertical Needle technology, the array of needles in the DP4 Dermapen creates 1920 microchannels per second organized in a pattern like a fractionated laser, but without the adverse effects associated with light energy.
The DP4 Dermapen works by rapidly and precisely puncturing the skin with its fine needles. The vertical micro-channels provide two advantages. The first is to trigger the skin's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The other is to allow infusion of topical nutrients deeper into the skin.
Microneedling with the DP4 Dermapen offers several benefits, including:
- Â Â Â Improved skin texture and tone
- Â Â Â Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Â Â Â Minimization of acne scars or other types of scars
- Â Â Â Hair restoration for alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia
- Â Â Â Diminished hyperpigmentation or age spots
- Â Â Â Enhanced absorption of topical skincare products
- Â Â Â Overall skin rejuvenation and increased radiance
Not with the DP4 Dermapen. Traditional dermal-rolling and inferior microneedling pens have a history of being bloody and painful requiring the application of topical anesthetic cream before treatments. The DP4 Dermapen is the culmination of over a decade of research & development and is designed to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most individuals report feeling a mild sensation or pressure during the procedure, but it is generally tolerable.
The number of microneedling sessions required with the DP4 Dermapen can vary depending on the individual's skin condition and desired results. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. However, this can vary, and Lynn will determine the treatment plan that is appropriate for you.
After microneedling with the DP4 Dermapen, there may be some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Additionally, the skin may feel slightly sensitive or have a mild sunburn-like sensation. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided here at New Skin by Lynn to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Microneedling is safe especially when using the DP4 Dermapen and when it is in the hands of an aesthetic nurse like Lynn who is trained and certified in microneedling. Some potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or mild skin irritation so it is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided here to minimize these risks.
Absolutely. The DP4 Dermapen can be combined with clinically proven formulations that use the microchannels to get beneath the skin barrier to enhance results. Please arrange a consultation at New Skin by Lynn to determine the most suitable combination of treatments for your specific needs.
Plexr Plus Plasma Pen (FAQ)
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen is a FDA approved medical device used at New Skin by Lynn for non-surgical skin rejuvenation and various cosmetic treatments. It utilizes plasma technology to deliver controlled bursts of energy to the skin, promoting tissue regeneration and tightening.
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen generates plasma, which is an ionized gas, and delivers this small flash of energy to the skin's surface via a handheld device. This process triggers an immediate contraction of the existing collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a tighter and firmer appearance. Subsequently, the body initiates the remodeling of existing collagen and the production of new collagen which rejuvenates the top layer of skin.
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Â Â Â Non-surgical eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)
- Â Â Â Wrinkle reduction and fine lines
- Â Â Â Skin tightening and firming
- Â Â Â Active acne and acne inflammation
- Â Â Â Scar revision, including acne scars
- Â Â Â Pigmentation irregularities, such as age spots or melasma
- Â Â Â Skin tag, benign lesion and wart removal
- Â Â Â Stretch mark improvement
- Â Â Â Tattoo Removal
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen treatment may cause some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated by most individuals. Before the procedure, Lynn will apply a topical anesthetic cream to minimize any potential discomfort. Some people may experience a mild heat or tingling sensation during the treatment.
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen treatment is safe when performed by a trained and qualified professional like Lynn who has experience with the plasma pen to properly evaluate your skin type and concern for the best possible outcome.
The duration of a Plexr Plus Plasma Pen treatment session depends on the size of the area being treated and the specific conditions addressed. Generally, a treatment session can range from 15 minutes to an hour.
After a Plexr Plus Plasma Pen treatment, there is typically some downtime and recovery involved. The treated area may appear red, swollen, and there may be tiny scabs or crusts. These effects usually subside within 5 to 7 days. It is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by New Skin by Lynn to ensure proper healing.
The number of treatments required with the Plexr Plus Plasma Pen depends on the individual's specific skin condition and desired results. In some cases, a single treatment may be sufficient, while others may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. During the initial consultation, Lynn will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan accordingly.
The results of Plexr Plus Plasma Pen treatments should last for years, but the natural aging process will continue over time. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired results.
Contrary to its name, the Plexr Shower has nothing to do with traditional showers. While the Plexr Tip creates a big bolt of Plasma that focuses the energy on one spot right underneath the tip, the Plexr Shower utilizes a triangle tip to spread the energy along its length into many nano Plasma bolts. Instead of a single pinpoint discharge which sublimates and coagulates the skin, the Plexr Shower creates numerous nano plexr spots that are mild and invisible to our eyes but the improvement to the skin is obvious. After a Plexr Shower, the skin is ready to receive other treatments such as hyaluronic-based products to improve the results. Applying these topical products after the Plexr Shower promotes and enhances their proven effects and Lynn can discuss your options when targeting Aging, Active Acne, Pigmentation and Discoloration.
The Plexr Plus Plasma Pen can generally be used on various skin types, including light to medium skin tones. At the time of your consultation, Lynn will do a thorough evaluation to ensure its suitability for your specific skin type and condition.
