Specialized Care for the Eyes & Orbital Area

One of the primary reasons we chose the Dermapen 4 is its unmatched precision. Unlike traditional rollers or older microneedling pens, the DP4 is uniquely engineered with a dedicated setting for the orbital area. This allows us to safely and effectively treat the delicate skin around the eyes, including the upper and lower eyelids, to reduce dark circles, fine lines, and eyelid laxity without the risk of skin tearing.

Advanced Scar & Texture Revision

The DP4 is also the only microneedling device with a dedicated "Scar Setting," allowing for deep, vertical penetration that can remodel stubborn acne scars and surgical scarring. By combining this technology with sterile Meso-Glide™ solutions, we deliver high-potency nutrients directly into the dermis for maximum rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the Dermapen 4 safe for the eyelids?
Yes. Because of its vertical stamping motion and adjustable depth, the DP4 is one of the few devices that can safely treat the eyelid and lash line area to tighten skin and reduce dark circles.
2. Does microneedling hurt?
The DP4 is designed for maximum comfort. While most patients describe a mild prickling sensation, we can apply a topical numbing cream for sensitive areas to ensure a pain-free experience.
3. How many treatments will I need?
For general rejuvenation, 3-4 treatments are recommended. For deep scarring or stretch marks, a series of 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is ideal.
4. How long is the recovery time?
With the DP4, downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness for only 12-24 hours. Your skin will look refreshed and glowing within a few days.
5. Can I wear makeup after the procedure?
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying traditional makeup. We provide a post-treatment cover-up to protect your skin immediately after.
6. What is a "Vampire Facial"?
This is when we combine Microneedling with your own PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). The DP4 pushes the PRP deep into the micro-channels for accelerated healing and growth.
7. When will I see results?
You will notice a "glow" within a week, but the real collagen remodeling happens over the next 3 to 6 months as your skin repairs itself from the inside out.
8. Is microneedling better than a chemical peel?
Microneedling treats the skin deeper and is often better for physical texture issues (scars/pores), while peels are excellent for surface pigmentation.
9. Can I get this done while pregnant?
Microneedling is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We would be happy to schedule you once that period has concluded!
10. How should I prepare for my session?
Avoid active skincare (Retinol/AHAs) for 3 days prior and ensure you are hydrated. Please arrive with a clean face if possible.
