Microneedling with Dermapen 4 in Karachi
Sixteen needles, adjustable to three millimetres, for acne scars, pores, fine lines and stretch marks on every skin tone. Combined with PRP or exosomes for more.
Is Microneedling with Dermapen 4 right for me?
- For acne scars, open pores, fine lines, stretch marks, surgical scars and rough or dull texture, on any skin tone.
- Thirty to forty-five minutes with numbing; red for one to two days, then a fresh glow.
- Texture improves after each session; scars remodel over a course of three to six, a month apart.
Collagen, induced.
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin so that it heals itself with new collagen and elastin. Dermapen 4 is the most advanced automated device for it: sixteen needles, adjustable depth to three millimetres, and a scar-treatment setting that reaches the depth acne scars need.
The clinic uses Dermapen 4 for acne scars, open pores, fine lines, stretch marks, surgical scars and overall texture, on all skin tones. It is often combined with PRP, exosomes or polynucleotides applied through the channels, which multiplies the regenerative effect.
Sessions take thirty to forty-five minutes with numbing cream, the skin is red for one to two days, and a course of three to six sessions a month apart is usual.

Microneedling with Dermapen 4, answered.
Straight answers from the clinic. If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp.
Ask on WhatsAppYes. Unlike some lasers, microneedling does not use heat or light, so it carries very little risk of pigmentation on brown and dark skin.
Thirty to forty-five minutes, including numbing.
Redness for one to two days, then a glow. Makeup from the next day.
Smoother skin within a week; scars and stretch marks improve over the course and for months after.
Three to six, four weeks apart, depending on the concern.
Numbing cream makes it comfortable; you feel vibration and mild scratching.
Both work and are often combined. Microneedling is safest on brown skin and best for rolling scars; fractional laser adds more for deep or ice-pick scars. The consultation decides.
Pricing is per session and depends on any serum added. The clinic shares the exact fee at the consultation. Ask on WhatsApp for current pricing.
