Dermapen® in NYC
A good skin care regimen is essential for a healthy complexion, but sometimes topical products are not enough to achieve your skin goals. Dermapen® is an advanced microneedling treatment that can address many hard-to-treat skin concerns, such as acne scarring, visible signs of aging, and dull skin. Dermapen® can completely rejuvenate skin in a simple, in-office procedure with little to no downtime.
NYC Skin Rejuvenation Specialists Dr. Stafford Broumand along with his Aesthetic Registered Nurse Tamara Spaide offer Dermapen® Microneedling in Manhattan. Tamara is experienced in a range of non-surgical skin care treatments and anti-aging procedures and utilizes Dermapen® to deliver brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin for patients in NYC. In addition to its use in skin rejuvenation treatments, Dermapen® may also be used to stimulate hair follicles to treat certain types of hair loss.1

How Does Dermapen® Work?
Microneedling is well established as an effective method of improving the appearance of skin.2 Dermapen® takes microneedling to the next level with an exclusive automated microneedling device that offers an enhanced experience. Dermapen® features ultra fine needles that enter the dermis vertically. This process creates microscopic punctures, also called microchannels or micro-injuries, that stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The result is comprehensive skin regrowth and repair, with a boost of natural collagen.
Preparing for Dermapen®
Minimal preparation is needed for your Dermapen® treatment. You should avoid excessive sun exposure and discontinue any harsh skin care products in the week leading up to your procedure.
What to Expect During Your Dermapen® Procedure
Dermapen® is designed to minimize discomfort. If you do prefer to have a topical anesthetic applied to skin prior to treatment, you will need to arrive early to allow time for the numbing to take effect. Your treatment will be customized to meet your needs. Depending on the depth of your microneedling, you may feel light pressure or a slightly more intense prickly sensation.
Recovery after Dermapen®
After your Dermapen® treatment, your skin may feel tight or warm and you will likely experience some temporary redness. You can resume regular activities right away, but you should avoid sun exposure and skincare treatments such as chemical peels for at least one week. Tamara will advise you on which products to use after your treatment.
Dermapen® Results
You will notice smoother, brighter skin as soon as any redness subsides. Full results will be progressive and continue to improve in the weeks after treatment. As your body’s natural collagen production is stimulated, you will see an improvement in scarring, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermapen®
How is Dermapen® different from other microneedling methods?
Traditionally, microneedling was performed with a manual rolling device. The old-fashioned method could result in significant bleeding and skin tearing, but Dermapen® is fully automated to minimize irritation and allow for greater customization and precision.
What areas can be treated with Dermapen®?
While the face is the most popular treatment area, Dermapen® can also be used on the abdomen, arms, legs, hands, or anywhere you would like to treat scarring or stretch marks.
