Dermapen 4
The latest technology by Dermapen, the Dermapen 4 micro needling device offers safe and effective treatment for all skin phototypes
Dermapen 4 stimulates collagen production, promotes elastin, tightens skin and treats problematic skin conditions
Microneedling relies on stimulating the bodies natural healing cascade to deal naturally with skin conditions.
Dermapen 4 is effective in managing the following skin conditions
- scarring
- stretchmarks
- enlarged pores
- acne
- fine lines and wrinkles
- pigmentation
Dermapen 4 employs the use of 16 vertical, surgical sterile needles to promote scar -less healing. Precision based depth settings and oscillation controls thus allow it to penetrate precisely through the dermal layers for maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
What makes Dermapen 4 different to other microneedling devices
- miminal skin trauma
- depth accuracy with each treatment
- new internal dual seals to protect from any fluid ingress ensuring a safe procedure
- less downtime
PRP
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma
Platelet rich plasma is derived from the patients own blood and contain growth factor which can increase collagen production, skin elasticity, texture and tone.
The process involves blood being drawn from the patient. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge where it is spun to isolate the platelets from the rest of the blood.
Dr Seedat uses the Arthrex Personal Cell Therapy procedure, this unique double syringe enables closed and easy production of PRP with no synthetic separating material required. The PRP system for Arthrex is easy to use and has proven efficacy without compromising patient safety or quality of care.
Hair rejuvenation
Hair loss is a major concern affecting many women and men.
Dermapen 4 hair rejuvenation activates the bodies natural healing response and this response can be used to reverse the androgenic alopecia. The needling action activates the pathway in the hair follicle releasing growth factor and stimulating stem cells. Needling with Dermapen 4 can be coupled with PRP for optimum results.
Platelet rich plasma is enriched with cytokines,growth factor and platelets that stimulate healing of soft tissue as well as hair growth .In the field of hair restoration evidence supports use of PRP as a promising non surgical treatment to promote hair growth.
Blood is drawn from the patients and spun using Athrex personal cell therapy. This separates the platelets from the blood. A topical medical grade anesthetic cream is applied to the scalp. The highly concentrated PRP is then needled into the scalp using the Dermapen 4 microneedling device.
IV nutrient therapy
This is the fastest way to deliver nutrients throughout the body .This therapy results in absorption rate of 90% as apposed to the 20-50% when taken orally.
Botox
Botox contains purified bacteria that freeze muscle, thus minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Fillers
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid that adds fullness to areas that have loss of volume due to aging.
