DP4 Microneedling in Edmonton

MICRONEEDLING IN EDMONTON

The DP4 MicroNeedling treatment uses micro-needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. This activates the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production for skin repair and rejuvenation.

Reveal smoother, brighter and more refreshed-looking skin with DP4 microneedling at Edmonton Skin Aesthetics.

Located in Windermere, Edmonton, we provide personalized DP4 treatments designed to improve the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines and other common skin concerns.

DP4, also known as Dermapen 4, creates precise vertical microchannels in the skin. This controlled process supports the skin’s natural renewal response and promotes the production of collagen and elastin over time.

WHAT IS DP4 MICRONEEDLING?

DP4 is an advanced professional microneedling system designed to deliver controlled and customizable treatments to the face and body.

The device uses rapidly oscillating, vertical microneedles to create fine microchannels in the skin. These microchannels initiate the skin’s natural repair process while allowing the treatment provider to adjust the depth and settings according to the treatment area and individual skin concern.

Unlike traditional skin rollers, DP4 is designed to move smoothly across the skin while creating consistent vertical channels with minimal unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissue.

WHAT CAN DP4 MICRONEEDLING IMPROVE?

DP4 microneedling may help improve the appearance of:

Post-acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture

DP4 is FDA-cleared in the United States for the treatment of facial acne scars. Microneedling is also commonly used to improve the visible appearance of fine lines, sun damage, pigmentation, enlarged pores, scars and stretch marks.

Results and suitability vary by client. A consultation will help determine whether DP4 is appropriate for your skin.

WHY IS DP4 DIFFERENT?

Dedicated Scar Treatment Technology

DP4 features a specialized scar treatment setting that automatically adjusts treatment speed and depth. Clarion Medical states that this setting can be used for deep and atrophic scars, including post-acne, surgical, burn and stretch-mark concerns.

Customized Treatment Depth

The treatment settings can be adjusted based on your skin condition, treatment area, comfort and desired outcome. This allows us to provide a more personalized treatment rather than using the same settings for every client.

Precision-Engineered Cartridges

DP4 uses precision-engineered, single-use 16-needle cartridges. A new disposable cartridge is used for each treatment.

Protective Single-Use Sleeves

The device also uses a single-use protective sleeve designed to help maintain a hygienic treatment environment and prevent cross-contamination.

Face and Body Treatments

DP4 may be used on facial areas as well as selected body areas when clinically appropriate. This makes it a versatile option for concerns such as acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks and uneven texture.
