DermaPen Microneedling
COLLAGEN-INDUCING TREATMENTS FOR PORTLAND, VANCOUVER, SALEM, AND ALL OF OREGON
Minimally invasive DermaPen microneedling at Portland’s Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery is a next-level cosmetic procedure that triggers renewed collagen production in specialized cells to rejuvenate the skin and address a range of cosmetic complaints related to aging and collagen loss.
The DermaPen microneedling device uses numerous incredibly fine needles to make tiny punctures in the skin’s surface, with each puncture working to trigger natural healing processes. These processes include production of beneficial collagen to provide structure and volume, as well as elastin to help skin’s pliancy and resilience. The result is a smoother, younger-looking surface!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DERMAPEN MICRONEEDLING?
Since collagen production drops over time and the protein breaks down due to sun exposure and other environmental factors, you will see the effects of its loss more as you get older. The drop in structure and volume not only leads to the formation of wrinkles, but also to a general decrease in firmness. Ultraviolet radiation exposure over time can also cause concentrated melanin production, resulting in the development of spots. Of course, accidents of all kinds—as well as severe acne breakouts—will leave their mark in the form of scars over the years.
All of these cosmetic issues can be addressed with microneedling.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone
Regular treatments can help smooth out the skin’s surface and enhance your overall complexion, giving it a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By increasing collagen production, microneedling can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother and firmer skin surface.
Scar Treatment
DermaPen is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections. The process helps in remodeling the scar tissue while maintaining the overall skin structure.
Minimizes the Appearance of Pores
The treatment can also help in reducing the look of pores by increasing collagen production in and around the openings, making them appear smaller and enhancing skin texture.
Improves Skin Hydration
The micro-injuries created by the DermaPen improve the skin’s ability to absorb topical products, since the punctures are literally openings in the surface that better allow beneficial elements to pass through. This can enhance the effectiveness of serums and moisturizers.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
Microneedling can help even out skin tone and reduce the degree of visible sun damage and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Safe for All Skin Types
The DermaPen is safe for use on all skin types and colors without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is a common risk with some other rejuvenation procedures.
YOUR DERMAPEN MICRONEEDLING CONSULTATION
Every successful treatment starts with a thorough consultation, and microneedling is no exception! If you are considering DermaPen, you will first meet with one of our providers to allow them to examine your skin and learn from you about the cosmetic issues you would like to address. This is also when we will explain more details about the treatment and answer any questions you may have.

WHAT COSMETIC TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ASIDE FROM MICRONEEDLING AT THE WALDORF CENTER?
Some patients have skin imperfections that respond best to other non-surgical treatment strategies. Cellulite, for example, can be addressed with Emtone™, which addresses multiple factors that contribute to the unwanted dimpling in order to create a smore uniform surface.
An alternate to microneedling is Renuvion® J-Plasma®, which is a precision ablation treatment for addressing many of the same cosmetic issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, hyperpigmentation, scars, and the look of large pores. Another similar option is ellacor®, which removes “micro-cores” of skin that function like the channels created by the DermaPen device: triggering collagen production and allowing for better penetration and absorption of topical medications.
Which is best for you? The answer to that question is best determined after a personalized consultation with our experienced providers. Get started today!
