Write This Down: Dermapen Micro-Needling Delivers Younger-looking Skin

Say hello to the newest wrinkle smoother! It's called Dermapen, and it's the latest trend in skin care, involving micro-needling.

Think of being pin-pricked all over your face. Oh yeah, tiny holes in the skin to rev up collagen/elastin production.

The great news----Dermapen is not surgery. It's another non-invasive beauty treatment that promises a younger, brighter, smoother complexion.

New York City Plastic Surgeon Jon Turk claims that this is a skin-worthy treatment, consisting of 11 tiny needles in an electronically driven pen-like device:

"In my opinion, anyone ages 35 to 60 should be getting these treatments," Dr. Turk says. "We are not looking at it as a separate procedure like laser, but as something that should be incorporated into a person's skin care."

Some dermatologists are comparing the Dermapen to the Fraxel laser, but without the downtime and possible side effects of charring, and so on.

Is there pain?

Yes, but discomfort at a tolerable level.

The Dermapen cost per session----between $250 - $650. You might need about 3 or 4 treatments spaced at 2-4 weeks apart.
