Everyone would love to have beautiful, clear luminous skin and with new treatments available to treat a myriad of concerns it is now attainable. The Skin Rejuvenation Clinic in Fendalton likes to be able to offer their clients the best and most efficacious of these treatments.

Micro-needling therapy has been available for many years and a variety of devices have been used to cause micro-injuries to the skin to stimulate collagen production. Initially there was skin stamping and skin rollering but now the newest and most effective device has become available in New Zealand and it is called the Dermapen. The Dermapen is  an automatic micro-needling device that has been proven to be as effective as ablative laser treatments such as fraxel , IPL, laser resurfacing and chemical peels and all with little to no downtime!

The Dermapen is used for skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenation, it helps with skin texture by improving wrinkles and fine lines and minimizing pore size, it can also help with reducing scarring whether it’s old acne scarring or a newer wound that has scarred. It can also be used to improve stretchmarks, treat alopecia and lift abnormal pigmentation.
