    How Does DP4™ Microneedling Work?

    DP4™ Microneedling works by using a high-speed, vertically driven microneedling device to create precise micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries activate the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production within the dermis.

    As the skin repairs itself, texture becomes smoother, tone more even, and firmness visibly improves. The micro-channels also enhance the absorption of medical-grade serums applied during treatment, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for improved overall skin rejuvenation.

    How to Prepare for this Treatment

    Arrive for your DP4™ Microneedling appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating products, and active acids five to seven days prior, unless otherwise instructed.

    Stay well-hydrated and inform your provider of any medications, skin conditions, or medical history before treatment.

    What Happens During a DP4™ Microneedling Treatment?

    DP4™ Microneedling treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical numbing cream may be applied to maximize comfort.

    During the procedure, the DP4™ device creates precise micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Most patients experience mild to moderate sensation with minimal discomfort. Medical-grade serums may be applied during or after treatment to enhance results and support skin healing.

    Expected Results

    Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance are often visible within a few weeks. As collagen production increases, patients notice smoother skin, improved firmness, and more even tone over time.

    For optimal skin rejuvenation results, a series of DP4™ Microneedling treatments spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended.
