Dermapen 4 is a treatment that uses special ultra-fine needles called microneedles to create high-density micro-injuries on the skin, promoting skin regeneration during the healing process. In addition, when creating the micro-channels, infusing hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and other agents helps stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Recommended for those who:
- Concerned about uneven acne scars (craters), chickenpox scars, or other scars
- Concerned about pores
- Want firmer, more radiant skin
- Keratosis pilaris
What is Dermapen?
Dermapen is a treatment that uses ultra-fine microneedles to create high-density micro-injuries on the skin.
When the skin is injured, the body’s natural healing response (wound healing) releases various growth factors. Stimulated by these growth factors, the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid is promoted, helping to achieve firm, resilient, radiant skin, while also improving acne scars, scars, and pores on the skin surface.
Compared with conventional devices, Dermapen 4 has improved treatment depth, vibration, and precision, and the number of needles has increased to 16 ultra-fine 33G (0.20 mm) needles. The treatment depth range has expanded from 0.2 mm to 3 mm, and it can create 1,920 micro-channels per second at up to 120 rotations/second. As a result, treatment time is shorter, and pain and discomfort have been reduced.
In addition, Dermapen 4 is newly equipped with a scar treatment mode (ST mode), allowing for a more effective approach to acne scars, scars, and stretch marks.
Medications used
PDRN Skin Booster: PDRN (salmon-derived polydeoxynucleotide) helps promote the repair and regeneration of damaged skin DNA. In addition, the synergistic effects of three ingredients—glutathione, hyaluronic acid, and peptides—can be expected to provide a variety of skin-beautifying benefits.

Velvet Skin
- For those aiming for even more beautiful skin
Velvet Skin is a combination treatment that pairs Dermapen 4 with a massage peel. By performing a massage peel—which strongly promotes dermal collagen production—on skin that has been thoroughly treated with high-density micro-injuries using Dermapen 4, the agent penetrates more deeply, leaving the skin glossy and smooth like velvet.
Treatment details
| Treatment interval | Allow 4–6 weeks between sessions. 3–5 sessions. |
|---|---|
| Treatment time | Topical anesthesia 30 minutes + procedure 30 minutes. |
