Dermapen 4: Why It's Different From Regular Microneedling

Are you anxious about what devices are used during microneedling? If yes, you’re not alone. At Citrine Clinic by Dr Niti Gaur, specialised skincare technology is used for optimal results. When it comes to microneedling, patients often ask Dr Niti: How is microneedling treatment performed?

At Citrine Clinic in Gurgaon, we don’t rely on old-school techniques for microneedling, but Dermapen 4 — a next-generation microneedling technology that offers targeted rejuvenation, better safety, complete comfort, faster healing, and substantial results.

Dr Niti Gaur (MD Dermatology) prioritises smart skin health boosting methods over any random techniques that can irritate the skin, in her clinical practice of cosmetic dermatology. Beyond her best understanding of aesthetics, she brings an ability to deliver celebrity-like skin results with her targeted skin treatment action.

Curious to learn more about Dermapen 4? Let’s take a closer look at its technology, how it transforms the skin, and what makes it different beyond conventional techniques.

What Is Dermapen 4 Treatment?

Dermapen 4 is a skincare technology device for microneedling and other skin rejuvenation procedures. It punctures the skin with thousands of micro-injuries with the help of advanced oscillating needle technology.

Unlike traditional technology, it’s often described as painless procedure. Dermapen 4 is the best skin rejuvenation device, highly effective for various skin concerns. It is internationally recognised for faster results and comfort.

Dermapen 4 can address various concerns, including:

  • Acne scars
  • Pigmentation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks
  • Hair thinning
  • Dull and ageing skin

How Dermapen 4 Technology Works For Your Skin?

Wondering how Dermapen 4 boosts your skin health? Read this:

The Dermapen 4 device combines skin rejuvenation, controlled depth, and precise microneedling injuries, which work through automated vertical microneedling. Its 16-needle cartridge uses Advanced Oscillating Vertical Needle (AOVN) technology, which creates uniform channels in the skin, with easy entry and exit at a strict 90° angle. It repairs the skin, scars, wrinkles, signs of ageing and accelerates the absorption of skincare products.

How is Dermapen 4 More Effective than Traditional Microneedling?

Before you take up microneedling treatment with Dermapen 4 at Citrine Clinic, know how it restores youthfulness, and why it’s better than traditional devices.

1. Advanced Needle Technology

Traditional derma rollers use rolling needles that cause epidermal tearing and uneven micro-tears. However, dermapen 4, on the other hand, uses automated vertical needle movement for controlled and precise punctures.

This allows:

  • Better accuracy
  • More uniform treatment
  • Reduced skin trauma
  • Improved collagen stimulation

The advanced oscillating technology also makes the procedure faster and more effective.

2. More Precise Depth Control

One major loophole of regular microneedling devices is their limited depth customisation. Different skin concerns require different needle depths. And so, Dermatologists can adjust the needle depth setting while using Dermapen 4 for different concerns like:

  • Acne scar depth
  • Skin thickness
  • Sensitive areas
  • Pigmentation severity
  • Ageing concerns

3. Faster Healing and Less Downtime

The skin experiences less unnecessary trauma with Dermapen 4 due to controlled microinjuries as compared to traditional methods. There is no risk of infection or irritation with the Dermapen 4 process.

  • Reduced redness
  • Faster recovery
  • Less irritation
  • Minimal downtime

4. Better Product Absorption

Dermapen 4 enhances skincare absorption more than any other method. The microchannels created during the treatment help active ingredients present in serums, moisturisers, and facials penetrate deeper into the skin.

This improves the effectiveness of:

  • Hydrating serums
  • Growth factors
  • Skin boosters
  • Collagen-stimulating solutions
  • PRP and regenerative therapies

The treatment, therefore, works not only through collagen stimulation but also through improved delivery of beneficial ingredients.

5. Best Comfort & Safety

Traditional microneedling methods have a risk of infection and damage to the skin, especially for sensitive skin. However, Dermapen 4 is safest because of its anti-contamination management technology, vertical needling, and automated settings.

Dermapen 4 is designed to provide:

  • Smoother needle movement
  • Reduced dragging sensation
  • Less discomfort
  • Better patient comfort

With topical numbing cream applied before the procedure, most patients tolerate the treatment very well.

Skin Concerns Treated With Dermapen 4 Technology

Dermapen 4 is highly versatile and suitable for multiple skin concerns, including:

  • Acne Scars
  • Enlarged Pores
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  • Pigmentation and Uneven Tone
  • Stretch Marks
  • Hair Thinning

What Happens During Dermpen 4 Procedure?

At Citrine Clinic, Dr Niti Gaur performs a detailed skin assessment to understand the patient’s concerns and customise the treatment plan. The procedure usually takes around 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

The procedure generally includes:

  1. Skin cleansing and numbing
  2. Application of specialised serums
  3. Controlled microneedling with Dermapen 4
  4. Cooling and soothing post-treatment care

How Many Sessions Are Needed For Microneedling Using Dermapen 4?

The number of sessions depends on the skin concern being treated. Usually, normal skin needs 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Generally:

  • Mild texture concerns may require fewer sessions
  • Acne scars and deeper concerns may need multiple sessions
  • Sessions are typically spaced a few weeks apart

Collagen production continues gradually over time, so results improve progressively after each session.
