What Is DP4 Microneedling?
DP4 microneedling is a fractional microneedling device that creates impressive results with a very simple procedure. In this skin care treatment, a DP4 pen is used to penetrate very tiny needles into the target area of the skin. This allows the body’s natural immune system to respond by sending blood circulation to the damaged skin tissues.
What makes that important is that the blood is rich in nutrients and oxygen. That helps to encourage blood flow through the skin to heal it. If you look at DP4 microneedling before and after, you may notice significant improvement in how the skin looks and feels.
The pen moves over the skin smoothly while creating very tiny puncture channels. These channels actually have two goals. The first is to trigger your body’s natural immune system to heal the “damaged” skin. This allows for the natural collagen and elastin production to ramp up. Your body’s immune system works to heal those very tiny injuries.
Additionally, the channels work to enable topical nutrients to be applied to the skin afterward to get deeper into the skin. With topical nutrients deeper in the skin, collagen and elastin production is amplified.
How Does DP4 Microneedling Compare to Traditional Microneedling?
DP4 microneedling is the only microneedling device to create micro-injuries in such a fast method. By gliding over the skin and creating millions of tiny channels, DP4 works to enable deeper and more effective stimulation of the healing process with minimal trauma. The DP4 pen works over 100% faster than traditional microneedling devices. It also creates far more of those tiny channels, resulting in as much as 80% more topical nutrients getting deeper into the layers of the skin.

How to Prepare for the DP4 Microneedling Treatment
The process is not overly invasive, but cleaning the skin to remove all makeup and debris will be necessary. You do not want to use any skincare product on the skin leading up to its use. Make sure to be hydrated heading into the procedure.
How Is Microneedling with DP4 Performed?
The DP4 microneedling pen creates a very small set of channels in the skin. To work, an ultra-fine sterile and stainless steel needle is inserted into the DP4 pen. The right-sizing is selected by the provider based on the client’s needs.
Prior to applying the DP4 microneedling pen in Canada, a numbing agent is applied to the skin. Then, the Dermapen treatment gets started. Unlike fractional laser treatments, the DP4 will create both direct and vertical penetration.
How Long Does it Take?
Most people will need 15 to 30 minutes per treatment of DP4 microneedling.
