Microneedling (Dermapen)
Microneedling (Dermapen), as Uzm.Dr. Ecem Cantürk Nazlı’s area of expertise, this procedure addresses the need for enhanced skin quality and renewal.

What Is Microneedling (Dermapen)?
Microneedling, also known as Dermapen, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by triggering collagen production through controlled micro-injuries. It targets skin issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores, improving overall skin texture and appearance by promoting natural healing processes.
In the field of dermatology, microneedling is a valuable tool for addressing various skin concerns across different patient groups. It may be suitable for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, or enhance overall skin tone. However, the suitability of microneedling is determined on an individual basis, taking into account the patient’s specific skin condition, medical history, and treatment goals, which is why a personalized evaluation is essential.
How Is Microneedling (Dermapen) Applied?
In our clinic, the microneedling procedure begins with a thorough cleaning of the skin, followed by the application of a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The Dermapen device is then used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and initiating the body’s natural healing process for skin rejuvenation.
During the examination, I evaluate the patient’s skin type, condition, and specific concerns to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Factors such as skin sensitivity, the presence of active acne, or previous treatments are considered to ensure the patient receives the most suitable care for their needs.
The application of microneedling is performed with a controlled and individualized approach to maximize safety and effectiveness. I ensure that each session is tailored to the patient’s unique skin profile, adjusting the needle depth and treatment intensity accordingly. This personalized method helps achieve optimal results while minimizing the risk of adverse effects, promoting a healthy and rejuvenated skin appearance.

Microneedling vs. Other Skin Rejuvenation Techniques
Understanding how microneedling compares to other skin rejuvenation techniques can help patients make informed choices. Key differences include:
- Microneedling vs. Laser Treatments: Microneedling is less invasive and typically involves shorter recovery times.
- Microneedling vs. Chemical Peels: Unlike chemical peels, microneedling does not involve the use of acids, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
