What is Rejuvapen?

Rejuvapen is one of the most advanced types of Medical Skin Needling technology. Various types of needling treatment have been used for many years now to reduce some of the most common characteristics of ageing skin. Now the benefits of skin needling can be experienced pain-free and with a quick recovery time.
We use Rejuvapen to treat Pigmentation, Scars, Wrinkles and Ageing Skin, dull complexion, Acne Scars, Stretch marks and other commons skin problems.

How does micro skin needling work? The Rejuvapen Automatic Therapy System utilises 9 precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis. As a result, the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin to repair these micro-perforations.
The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal from the inside out. The advantage of the Rejuvapen compared to other treatments is that it not only activates cell regeneration, it also enhances the absorption of topical creams into the skin during the treatment before the skin closes.
Your skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.




What is the downtime?

Typically the healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of the procedure. Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles mild sunburn. This may last for 2-4 days. Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours.

Who is a candidate?

Rejuvapen is a treatment that can be used on all skin types and can be used to treat acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.
When will patients see results?

Clients may notice healthier looking skin right away. However, keep in mind that dermal collagen remodelling occurs over time and it would not be realistic to expect damage that has happened to the skin over a long period of time to disappear right away. We suggest a series of 4-6 sessions depending on what the treatment is for. Individuals may not see final results until 3-6 months following the last appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Rejuvapen work?

The concept of micro-needling has been around for a while and is based upon the skin’s ability to naturally repair itself when injured. Immediately following an injury, our skin begins the process of dissolving tissue damage and replacing it with new cells. Micro-needling allows for controlled stimulation of the skin’s self-repair process by creating precise, micro-injuries in the skin, which automatically trigger new collagen synthesis without causing scar tissue formation. The micro-injuries also create channels that allow the product to penetrate deeper into the skin resulting in better product efficacy.
What are the benefits?

When will patients see results?

Many patients notice healthier looking skin immediately. However, the natural repair process of your own skin continues to progress over the course of several weeks.

Can I get a Rejuvapen treatment if I’m pregnant?



Rejuvapen is not recommended for pregnant women because the micro-needles produce micro-injuries on the skin, which naturally causes a repair process to begin. This healing process and production of new collagen require vitamins and nutrients to be utilised that would otherwise be reserved for the unborn child.
