Microneedling - Dermapen and M-pen treatment
What is microneedling?
Microneedling ‘stimulates’ the skin cells and the connective tissue. This sets a natural recovery process in motion. The skin starts producing new connective tissue fibres, cell division gets a boost and the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. Microneedling thins the skin's horny layer, leading to a more even complexion and less chance of blemishes. After the treatment, dead skin cells flake away, giving a more radiant face after just one session. Microneedling is a safe treatment in which small wounds are created without damaging the skin. The skin is, as it were, perforated. This is uncomfortable, but fortunately short-lived; the needling takes ten minutes at most. Treatment with the Dermapen 4 is less painful than other microneedling treatments and has a shorter recovery time.
A microneedling treatment can be used for:
- Skin ageing (fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation spots, looser skin)
- Sun damage (pigmentation spots, redness)
- Hyperpigmentation treatment, or conversely pigment-free areas
- Redness (couperose, rosacea)
- Smoker's skin (enlarged pores, dull complexion, wrinkles)
- (Acne) scars
- (Active) acne treatment
Microneedling with the Dermapen 4 and M-pen
At CHRIS we work within our microneedling treatments with the latest Dermapen 4 and M-pen. This innovative pen has many advantages over other microneedling devices, such as the Dermaroller. The recovery time is shorter and, moreover, the Dermapen 4 allows more precise and deeper work, making the treatment more comfortable at the same time. The Dermapen 4 has sixteen high-quality needle cartridges, an adjustable needle depth and adjustable speeds. A Dermapen 4 treatment does not damage the skin, but instead stimulates it to renew and improve.
Microneedling treatment at CHRIS
A Dermapen microneedling treatment lasts thirty minutes. Of this, we work intensively on the skin with the needles for five to ten minutes. The treatment consists of:
- Cleansing of the skin.
- Microneedling (5-10 minutes)
- Personalised skinbooster cocktails to tackle targeted skin concerns
- A repairing mask packed with hyaluron
- Soothing day care (layering)
A Dermapen or M-pen microneedling is always preceded by an intake including a skin analysis. During this intake we explain microneedling to you in detail and draw up a personal treatment plan. The intake is free and entirely without obligation.
Besides the face, we can also treat the neck and décolleté with the Dermapen 4 or M-pen. In these areas too, the Dermapen 4 or M-pen results in an even, radiant and healthy complexion, full and firm skin and a fine skin texture. Microneedling counteracts deep lines or skin sagging on the neck and lightens pigmentation spots on the neck and décolleté.
Mesotherapy: Microneedling and skinboosters
With mesoestetic mesotherapy, the skin is treated with microneedling in combination with skinboosters. This treatment is also known as microneedling-mesotherapy and is a medical procedure in which small needles are used to puncture the skin at a micro level, while at the same time a cocktail of nutrients (skinbooster), such as vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid, is delivered into the skin. You can choose from five different skinboosters; Depigmention, Mesotox, Mesopeptide, Photoaging, and Skinmark, each with its own skin solution.
The ultimate combination: peels with microneedling
Fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, pigmentation spots and skin sagging: a peel is a powerful treatment that can transform your skin. At CHRIS we have a carefully composed range of peels to meet every skin need. Because the peel ingredients are worked into the skin with the Dermapen 4 or M-pen, they get straight to work exactly where they are needed. And it enhances the effect of the peel treatment. You can choose from five different peels; Eyecon, Mesoèclat, Modified Jessner, Blemiskin, Melanostop Tranex and Skintech Easy TCA Pain Control, each with its own skin solution.
The wound-healing process with microneedling
The Dermapen 4 and M-pen create hundreds of micro-channels per second in the skin. This sets in motion a natural wound-healing process that stimulates the keratinocytes and fibroblasts in the skin to begin skin improvement. The fibroblasts start to multiply. This leads to accelerated production of collagen and elastin. The formation of new blood vessels ensures that every cell can function properly again. Old, damaged cells are destroyed and leave the body, while new cells are created. This process can continue for three months to sometimes years after the last treatment. This makes microneedling a long-lasting skin-improving treatment.

How often do I need microneedling?
After just one microneedling treatment your skin gets a real boost. The skin looks more radiant and firmer and the complexion is considerably improved. But for genuine skin renewal and improvement, several treatments are needed. The ideal number of treatments varies per skin type and skin concern, but you can expect a course of four to six treatments. There should be a minimum of two and a maximum of eight weeks between treatments. During the intake we determine your skin type and skin condition and, based on your needs, advise which frequency to follow. We also explain the aftercare instructions, so you benefit even more from the microneedling.
