Microneedling (Dermapen)
A device-based procedure using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin's own collagen production, used for texture, scarring, and fine lines.
What it is & how it works
A device (such as a Dermapen) with fine, motorized needles creates controlled, microscopic punctures in the skin, triggering the body's natural wound-healing response and collagen production over the following weeks, used to improve texture, acne scarring, fine lines, and pore appearance.
How it's done
Performed in-clinic with topical numbing cream applied beforehand for comfort; the session itself takes roughly 30–45 minutes, sometimes combined with topical serums (such as PRP) applied during the procedure to enhance results, with a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart typically recommended and 2–4 days of visible redness afterward.
Why Unfold Longevity
Offered as part of an individualized skin-treatment plan with realistic expectations set on session count and timeline, rather than promoted as a single-visit fix.
Well-established for texture and scarring indications with a good safety record when performed by a trained provider with appropriate sterile technique; not recommended during active acne breakouts, certain skin infections, or pregnancy, screened for at assessment.
Related questions
Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most people describe it as mild discomfort rather than significant pain; expect visible redness similar to a mild sunburn for 2–4 days afterward, with normal activities resumed the same or next day.
A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended, since results build gradually as collagen remodels over weeks after each session — a single session produces some improvement but the full effect is cumulative over the course.
Every treatment starts with a proper assessment
Not treatment sold on the first call. A clinician reviews your case before anything is recommended.
