USER ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
We have been advised by Equipmed or the local representative that the National Recommendations for Standard
Dermal Rolling Treatments which could apply to the Dermapen™ Procedures, is that only qualied health professionals
should operate this procedure to the depth over 1mm. It is the responsibility of the user/purchaser to be aware of local
recommendations and restrictions. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain appropriate insurance cover, if
applicable.
ORDER OF TREATMENT:
Step 1. Cleansing:
• Thoroughly cleanse the skin with an appropriate cleansing product, suitable to the type of skin being treated.
• For an optimal e󱐯ect, it is advisable to remove dead cells of the stratum corneum with an exfoliating product such as DP
Dermaceuticals™ MD Exfoliant (peeler, microderm, exfoliation treatment) before starting the treatment with Dermapen™.
• Remove all residue of the cleanser followed by a suitable antiseptic toner or wipe.
Step 2. Spread anaesthetic ointment on the treatment region:
• (It is important to read the user’s manual of the anaesthetic cream before its application.)
• Leave on surface of skin for about 15-50 minutes (depending on product used) before removing it. Best to occlude with
plastic wrap for the duration waiting period.
• Remove all residue of anaesthetic ointment followed by a suitable antiseptic toner or wipe.
Step 3. Treatment with Dermapen™:
1. Plug in adaptor and insert sterilised needle into the Dermapen™ tip
2. Turn on using speed setting. (Face speed :1~4<Thin, Sensitive skin 1~3><Thick skin 3~4>, Body speed :3~4)
3. Select the needle depth and speed of the Dermapen that best suits the treatment area. See below as a guide:
Step 4. Active Ingredients application:
• Visually section the treatment area into 5 regions; ie. forehead, right cheek, left cheek, chin/upper lip & nose
• 4. Apply a uniform layer of DP Dermaceuticals™ HylaActive on one treatment region at a time. The numerous micro holes
obtained due to the needles action will favour the deep penetration of the active ingredients into the skin.
5. With the free hand that is not holding the Dermapen™ handle, gently hold the skin or scalp taught. With the other hand
holding the Dermapen™ handle:
• Start with Stripe-like motions, from left to right, lifting the needle-tip between each stripe instead of zip zag motion to
avoid unnecessary reinsertions. Oscillation or depth may be adjusted mid procedure.
