How Does Derma Pen work?

Inserting micro-needles into the skin causes minor trauma that promotes the deeper layer of skin, known as the dermis, to rebuild itself by producing more collagen. Collagen is a protein that makes your skin appear firm, elastic, and youthful. You lose collagen as you age, as well as when your skin is injured by acne, surgical incisions, or over-stretching from pregnancy or weight gain.

FAQ

Acne is the most common skin condition of all, the disease occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells.
Acne refers to the pimples, blackheads and bumps which appear on skin because of a disturbance in the oil glands. Most acne is found on the face, the neck, back, chest and shoulders. Acne’s prevalence is the strongest in teenage years but it’s not exclusive to those years alone. Adults belonging to any age group can suffer from it because of various external or internal factors.
Acne is not a life-threatening condition, but it does come in way of people’s personal aesthetic satisfaction.

There’s no particular answer as to why acne outbreaks occur. But after years of thorough research, the following reasons are what the experts came up with:

  • Increase of hormones in a teenager
  • Hormonal changes at the time of pregnancy
  • Usage of birth control pills
  • Exposure to excessive pollution
  • Stress and Anxiety
  • Genetically transferred
  • Certain medicines consisting of substances like androgen hormones and lithium can cause acne as well.
  • Oily Skin

Technically, when sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands) are overactive in the follicles, these glands produce too much sebum or oil like substance which forms a plug mixed with dead skin cells leading to the blockage of follicle.
Sometimes acne gets filled with bacteria making the surrounding skin appear red and sore.

Mild acne usually goes away in a short period of time with the help of conventional skin-care products available at the nearest stores. But when the acne stubbornly places itself on a person’s face for a long time, and the over-the-counter products are completely ineffective – that’s when a dermatologist needs to be consulted.
Usually, there are four grades of acne (based on its severity).
The first grade is the most moderate stage, and the fourth grade is the most severe. To differentiate between the grades of acne efficiently, a dermatologist should be responsible.

  • There are two main types of acne scars:
    Depressed Acne Scars– These scars are deep-pitted are the most common kind of acne scars. They are caused by inflammatory acne.
    Depressed scars can be further classified into the following three types:

    • Rolling Scars– They have broadened pits on the skin which have rounded edges. The texture is rough and is caused by severe damage beneath the surface of the skin.
    • Boxcar Scars– These are similar to rolling scars in terms of the depth of the depression but they are more defined and have strong edges.
    • Ice Pick Scars– These scars are not broad. They appear like tiny dot-like depressions, a little bigger than the size of our hair follicles, but covering it up is the most challenging task for dermatologists.

    The two most common types of raised acne scars are:

    • Keloid Scars– Because of the formation of excess collagen, extra scar tissues get formed and elevate the scar further on the surface. Collagen seems to build around the acne scar, making it grow in size.
    • Hypertrophic Scars– This is also caused in the presence of excess collagen, but its intensity is less severe than that of Keloid Scars. They are not as prominent as Keloids. It appears reddish in colour.
