Dermapen is a type of microneedling that creates thousands of micro-channels deep inside the skin, stimulating your body to produce more collagen and elastin. At La Vie Clinic, we use it to treat acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores and early fine lines without the downtime of more invasive resurfacing treatments.
Dubai’s combination of high UV exposure and hard water tends to leave skin dull and dehydrated faster than in milder climates, which is why Dermapen has become one of our most repeated facial treatments — patients often build it into a seasonal skincare routine rather than a one-off fix.
Each session takes around 45 minutes, with numbing cream applied first for comfort. Mild redness afterward typically settles within 24-48 hours.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many Dermapen sessions will I need?
Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3-4
sessions, spaced around 4 weeks apart, though this depends on the concern being treated.
Q. Does Dermapen hurt?
A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most patients describe mild pressure
rather than pain.
Q. Is Dermapen the same as microneedling?
Dermapen is a specific, medical-grade microneedling device — the terms are often used interchangeably, but not all microneedling tools offer the same depth control or precision.
