DermaPen / Roller at Shadonai Beauty School

What is DermaPen / Roller?

Derma pens are handheld devices that are similar to derma rollers, but they work via oscillating pulses that quickly move the needle up and down the treatment site. Unlike rollers that move horizontally across the skin, dermapens move vertically. They’re more maneuverable than dermarollers since they’re easier to grip.

Overview

Dermapen can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by breaking up fibrosis and uneven scar tissue, to then encouraging the growth of new tissue. Microneedling can help to reverse the process of skin aging to a remarkable extent.
