Micro Needling Part - 1

WHAT IS DERMAPEN

Basically, a Dermapen is a small device that resembles a pen and is generally used for microneedling on people with skin issues and the end product is a tightened, rejuvenated and glowing skin. We get ask all the time what is Dermapen? Our answer is simple put a a very popular dermatology microneedling treatment device that has been embraced all over the world.  With over 6,000+ practitioners worldwide adding Dermapen to their practise specifically because of its effectiveness and efficiency when it comes to handling common skin problems like stretch marks, aging, wrinkles, fine lines, hair loss, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and so much more. Practitioners are constantly coming up with new treatments and ways to use the Dermapen micro needling pen.

HOW DERMAPEN REALLY WORKS

Dermapen employs the traditional Chinese technique for acupuncture only that here; the targeted result is not to reduce pain but rather to improve the skin appearance.

Basically, a Dermapen has 12 needles on the very tip and these 12 needles are the ones that are used to puncture the top layer of the skin as the Dermapen glides over the area being treated. Usually, the Dermapen will be positioned vertically over the skin and when it is turned on, a motor that is found inside the pen will start making the needles to move rapidly back and forth on the skin surface creating the punctures and these needles have been created in such a way that they can rotate in a slight way. These punctures created in the process are usually aimed at opening up the pores for a period of time only.

When a person hurts themselves, the skin will generally initiate skin repair by stimulating growth factors that will, in turn, lead to the generation of collagen and elastin. Therefore, when the punctures are made using the Dermapen, the skin will treat the punctures as wounds and therefore initiate healing. This means that micro-needling tend to trick the skin to produce collagen and elastin to promote ‘healing’ and the effect will be a rejuvenated skin.

Dermapen is used mostly for face wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and facial lines. When one is injured and the skin forms a scar, or if they have a stretch mark the body will treat these as though that area was repaired. Therefore having the punctures created in the scar tissue will cause the skin to initiate healing and, therefore, the damaged skin will tend to get eliminated and replaced with new skin. For wrinkles and face lines, basically, the produced collagen and elastin will cause the skin to thicken and also tighten leaving the skin looking youthful.

Generally, Dermapen has been effective and quite advantageous over other skin treatment procedures. This has seen to it that its popularity keeps growing by the day.

Treat Burn Scars WithDermapen Part - I

Treat Burn Scars with Dermapen? We get this question all the time and the answer is an absolute YES! Dermapenmicroneedling treatments have been clinically proven over and over again to improve the appearance of burn scars. Embarrassing burns scars and keloid scars are now a thing of the past.

What causes a Burn Scars or Keloid Scars?

A burn is a type of injury to flesh caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, light,

radiation or friction. Most burns affect only the skin (epidermal tissue and dermis).

Managing burn injuries properly is important because they are common, painful and

can result in disfiguring and disabling scarring. Burn scar contracture refers to the

tightening of the skin after a second or third degree burn. When skin is burned, the

surrounding skin begins to pull together, resulting in a contracture.

Microeedling to Treat Burn Scars

The challenge of a burn scar lies within the matrix of all the forms or categories of

the scars involving hypertrophic and keloid scars and pigmentation flaws. These scars

thicken over time. Burn scar therapy has been historically limited. The Dermapen’s unique vertical stamping and depth control, up to 2.5mm, helps alleviate the appearance of surgical scars and can be a better modality to other methods or rollering. With surgical steel integrity, the robust nature of the automated needle tip (12 needles total and sized at thirty-three gauge) penetrate difficult burn scar tissue dramatically improving appearance, texture, elasticity, size and mobility.

Burn Scars Treatment

Burn scars have altered physiology than other skin conditions. Multiple sessions is recommended and may vary depending on the severity and type of scar. Consult your Dermapen physician about the best course of action for your particular burn scar condition. To find a Dermapen Treatment Provider click here

MICRONEEDLING SURGICAL SCARS

What causes a surgical scar?

A surgical scar is a type of injury to flesh caused by surgery, usually an incision, that requires the modification of all layers. Because a surgeon cannot control all the factors that determine the appearance of a scar, treatment after the surgical area has properly healed is sometimes necessary.

The challenge with surgical scars lie within the matrix of all the forms or categories of scars involving hypertrophic and keloid scars and pigmentation flaws. These scars thicken over time. Scar therapy has been historically limited. The Dermapen’s unique vertical stamping and depth control, up to 2.5mm, helps alleviate the appearance of surgical scars and can be a better modality to other methods or rollering. With surgical steel integrity, the robust nature of the automated needle tip (12 needles total and sized at thirty-three gauge) penetrate difficult scar tissue, dramatically improving appearance, texture, elasticity, size and mobility.

Microneedling Surgical Scar Regimen

Dermapen Microneedling Pen

The Dermapen microneedling pen uses sterile, sealed individual disposable needle cartridges for optimal patient safety, comfort and results. Every Dermapen needle tip has multiple needles, with proprietary technology, penetrating vertically generating small micro skin channels, while stimulating the skins natural ability to heal its self while increasing the production of new collagen.

These channels carry up to 80% more topical nutrients, allowing penetration deep to the skin fibroblasts, feeding the cells found in the dermis and the basal layer. This increases the absorption of active ingredients into the skin, stimulating the repair at a cellular level and accelerating the regeneration of the skin’s epidermal cells.

The treatment is similar to laser treatments, but without the severe side effects or the long recovery time. There are some studies that show it is more effective than traditional microdermabrasion and chemical peels. The disposable needles reduces the risk of cross-contamination and the adjustable depth allows treatment that is adaptable to individual needs.

Dermapen facial treatment is the best solution for reversing the signs of aging!

As we age, we will notice the appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles on our face due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin. Even if you have the best skin, time will take its toll and you are going to face the skin problems. At that time, you will wish your skin to have a younger look that is free from wrinkles and fine lines. For that, you should try the newer Dermapen facial cosmetic treatment that will help you treat the signs of aging by inducing your skin’s own collagen and elastin production.

The average person knows that tattoos can be removed by laser, but what they don’t know is that it isn’t nearly that simple, not by any stretch. For one thing tattoo removal is more painful—and certainly more trouble—than getting the tattoo was in the first place. The cost, hassle and discomfort will depend on the size of the tattoo and the ink colors involved. Black ink and shading will respond more readily than yellows and greens, although some laser wavelengths may still be effective. Also, some tattoos never fully fade away, while others are very resistant to treatment.

Micro Needling Pen Benefits

FDA Warns – Micro-Needling devices are not exempt Class 1

Dear Practitioners, Please be advised that Derma Pen, LLC is no longer selling its micro-needling devices or micro-needling tips effective April 17, 2015. This notice is a follow-up to and clarification of the letter Derma Pen sent you on February 5th, 2015, which advised you it had received a warning letter from the FDA. The decision to cease sales is based on Derma Pen’s acceptance of the position of the Food and Drug Administration’s Compliance Division that micro-needling devices, such as the Dermapen, require a different method of registration than the industry has been using up to this point. Specifically, in the warning letter of January 9, 2015, the FDA stated that under 21 CFR § 878.4820, powered dermabrasion devices “have abrasion substrates which are brushes, rasps and burrs that are intended to abrade and remove layers of skin via shear force.” Because the Dermapen and similar micro-needling devices use needles to penetrate the skin rather than shearing away layers of skin, a micro-needling device like the Dermapen “…exceeds the limitation of 21 CFR § 878.9 and therefore, is not exempt from premarket notification.” In other words, claims for micro-needling and the scientific technology behind micro-needling are currently outside the scope of the 21 C.F.R § 878.4820 for surgical dermabrasion devices and, therefore, the micro-needling devices are not exempt Class 1 devices. Derma Pen sent a “Response Letter” to the FDA outlining the company’s position and explained its original decision to list micro-needling under 21 C.F.R § 878.4820 and proposed several regulatory tracks under which Derma Pen believed the Dermapen could be sold. The letter also advised the FDA that the original decision was based on expert advice from a respected regulatory consulting firm. On March 30, 2015, the FDA sent Derma Pen its response in the form of a “Regulatory Meeting Request,” in which the FDA responded to the regulatory options Derma Pen provided in its letter. Most importantly, the FDA reiterated its position from the warning letter and concluded that Derma Pen’s micro-needling device “…cannot be marketed within the United States” until the devices have “obtained the appropriate premarket clearance or approval.” 

Derma Pen, LLC respectfully maintains that the original listing did have merit, was done in good faith, was compliant with applicable regulations, and was consistent with the listing of other micro-needling devices marketed in the U.S. Ultimately, however, the regulatory decision belongs to the FDA, and we respect the process as a leader in the industry. As noted in the letter Derma Pen sent to you on February 5th, 2015, the warning letter can be found

at:http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm429899.htm Consequently, we have accepted the FDA’s position that the underlying scientific technology of micro-needling differs from its current registration for “dermabrasion” and therefore is not an exempt Class 1 device.

Accordingly, Derma Pen agreed to stop selling micro-needling devices and tips in the USA. 

MARKET ANALYSIS It’s only natural that the FDA would begin enforcement of its recent decision with Derma Pen because Derma Pen is an industry leader and had reached out to the FDA last year. There are, however, at least ten other companies that distribute micro-needling devices in the United States, eight of which are also using the same registration (i.e., as an exempt Class 1 device). While we have no direct information about how the FDA will respond to other companies, but it seems logical to expect the FDA to send similar warning letters to companies using micro-needling technology and that the FDA will require them to cease sales until they obtain a new classification from the FDA.DISCONTINUED SALES At this time, it appears that there is no approved regulatory manner for selling micro-needling devices in the United States other than to request a classification opinion from the FDA and to follow the regulatory steps that such an opinion would require. If that changes, we will of course let you know. But in the meantime, we regret to inform you that all pending sales of devices and tips have been canceled.

No customers will be charged for any pending product sales or orders. Similarly, Derma Pen, LLC will no longer service products or process returned products in exchange for new products. The FDA has determined that this practice would impermissible perpetuate the continued use of the micro-needling device. Likewise, Derma Pen, LLC has canceled. all plans to sell the MDerma FDS. Derma Pen is therefore canceling all existing or pending sales of the MDerma FDS in order to comply with the FDA’s decision until the proper regulatory path is granted by the FDA We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have customer concerns or questions please direct them to Derma Pen’s phone line at 1-800-981-5402 or email info@dermapen.com If you have questions about other micro-needling devices that are currently being sold in the USA you can contact:Matthew R. Dionne, Pharm.D., BCPS, MBA Commander U.S. PHS United States Food and Drug Administration Compliance Officer Denver District Office PO Box 25087 Denver, CO 80225 303-236-3064 Derma Pen, LLC wishes to thank you for your business and support you have shown over the past several years.
