Dermapen 4 Skin Microneedling Aftercare

Dermapen 4 Skin Microneedling Aftercare – Pamper Parlour, Kellyville

At Pamper Parlour in the Hills District, we want you to get the absolute best from your Dermapen 4 skin microneedling treatment. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling works by triggering your skin’s natural repair process to stimulate collagen, improve texture, minimise scars and fine lines, and restore a radiant glow.

Because the treatment creates controlled micro-injuries, correct aftercare is essential to:

  • Support healing

  • Maximise your results

  • Prevent irritation, infection, or complications

Here’s your complete guide to Dermapen 4 aftercare, including all the do’s, don’ts, and what to expect in the days ahead.

Immediately After Treatment: First 24-48 Hours

DO:

  • Use O Cosmedics MediSoothe – provided to you at your appointment to calm, cool, and repair sensitised skin. Apply 2–3 times daily or as needed.

  • Cleanse gently with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free cleanser. Pat dry – never rub.

  • Apply MediSoothe followed by a rich, non-active moisturiser and SPF (once your skin is ready).

  • Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water to support skin regeneration.

  • Change pillowcases and towels to reduce bacteria risk.

  • Avoid touching your face to prevent irritation or infection.

DON’T:

  • Wear makeup for 24-48 hours — even mineral makeup can clog healing skin.

  • Use active skincare for 5 days (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliants).

  • Expose skin to heat or sweat – no saunas, hot showers, or gym workouts for 48 hours.

  • Swim in chlorine or saltwater for 5-7 days.

  • Sunbathe or use solariums for 14-21 days. Protect with SPF 30–50 daily once skin is settled.

Ongoing Aftercare: Days 3-7 and Beyond

DO:

  • Continue MediSoothe until skin feels fully settled.

  • Gradually reintroduce regular skincare from day 5-7. Delay actives for at least 7-10 days.

  • Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily without fail – UV exposure can reverse your results.

  • Nourish your skin from within – eat foods rich in vitamin C, zinc, and protein.

DON’T:

  • Exfoliate for 7-10 days, your skin is already renewing.

  • Pick or peel flaking skin – allow natural shedding to avoid scarring or pigmentation.

  • Book harsh treatments (peels, lasers, microdermabrasion) for at least 14 days post-treatment.

What to Expect After Dermapen 4 Microneedling

  • Days 1-2: Redness, warmth, mild swelling – feels similar to sunburn. Skin may feel tight or tender.

  • Days 3-5: Possible dryness or light flaking as skin regenerates.

  • Days 5-7: Skin returns to normal with a healthy glow.

  • Weeks 2-4: Noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness, with full collagen benefits developing over 4-6 weeks.

Treatment Course for Best Results

For optimal results, we recommend a course of 3-6 Dermapen 4 microneedling sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, tailored to your skin concerns.

If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, or discomfort, or if you start new medications or notice changes in your skin, please contact us immediately. We’re here to support your skin every step of the way.
