Dermapen 4™ · Stonehaven

Target texture, scarring and signs of ageing with Dermapen 4™.

Precision microneedling for smoother-looking skin and progressive improvements in skin quality. Your plan is tailored to your concern, with combination options discussed at consultation.

Benefits & indications

More than a treatment for fine lines.

Dermapen 4™ creates controlled microchannels that encourage the skin’s natural repair response. Needle depth, speed and technique are adapted precisely to the treatment area and your individual skin.

Ruth brings 15 years of microneedling experience. Having worked with many devices over that time, she deliberately chose Dermapen 4™ for its precision, consistency and quality. That experience guides every treatment decision—from depth and technique to combinations, finishing treatment and aftercare.

Acne scarring & healed scars

May soften the appearance of indented acne scars and suitable, fully healed surgical or injury scars. Scar type, age and depth matter. Raised or keloid scars require particular assessment; improvement does not mean complete removal.

Texture & visible pores

For rough or uneven texture and the appearance of enlarged pores, with treatment planned around the condition of your skin.

Fine lines & early loss of firmness

Supports smoother-looking skin and improvements in the appearance of fine lines through controlled skin renewal.

Stretch marks & body scarring

May improve the appearance of suitable stretch marks and body scars. The size and condition of the area determine the plan.

Uneven tone & dullness

May be considered after assessment. Pigmentation needs a clear diagnosis and sun protection; some conditions need a different approach.

Face, neck & suitable body areas

Different areas need different settings, recovery advice and realistic expectations. Each is assessed individually.

Scarring

A considered approach to scar improvement.

Dermapen 4™ has a dedicated scar treatment setting. Your plan begins with the scar itself: its pattern, depth, healing history and surrounding skin. Indented acne scars, healed surgical scars and stretch marks can require different approaches.

A course is often more appropriate than one appointment. We agree realistic goals and review your response. Active infection, inflamed breakouts or a tendency to form keloids may change whether treatment is appropriate.

Combination options

A plan around your skin, not just a device.

Dermapen with exosomes

Ask about an exosome combination option for your skin-quality plan. We explain the selected product, intended application and evidence. Exosome products are not interchangeable, and benefits vary by formulation.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotide treatments can be discussed alongside Dermapen within a wider plan. Product, administration and timing are assessed separately; an injectable product is not automatically applied through microneedling channels.

NCTF by FILLMED

The NCTF range includes different formulations for skin revitalisation. Injectable NCTF and topical NCTF BOOST are different products. We confirm the appropriate formulation, intended use and whether treatments should be combined or spaced apart.

Your combination consultation

We discuss suitability, expected benefit, risks, recovery and total cost before recommending an add-on. Combination treatments are optional and quoted separately.

More than microneedling

A complete treatment—not a standalone procedure.

As with every treatment carried out at Bio Medspa, we do not believe in delivering microneedling as an isolated procedure.

Every Dermapen 4™ treatment includes a carefully selected finishing treatment, chosen according to your skin, its response on the day and your individual goals.

Always included in your treatment price

Your finish may include a targeted mask, Celluma LED light therapy, HyperPlasma, or an appropriate combination. Personally selected aftercare products are also included.

There are no unexpected finishing-treatment add-on costs—just a complete, personalised treatment designed to support your skin and enhance your overall results.

Preparation, downtime and aftercare

Great treatment deserves great aftercare.

One week before

Avoid retinol, prescription retinoids and strong active or exfoliating skincare for seven days before treatment unless your practitioner advises differently. Tell us about medicines, recent procedures, active breakouts, cold sores, infection, pregnancy, allergies and healing concerns.

What downtime should I expect?

Redness, warmth, tightness and sensitivity are normal after treatment. Mild swelling, pinpoint bleeding, dryness or flaking can occur, especially after deeper work. Recovery varies by area, treatment depth and individual skin response.

The first 48 hours

Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise and excessive sweating, direct sun exposure, tanning, saunas and steam rooms for at least 48 hours. Do not pick, scrub or exfoliate the skin.

Protect your results

Use only the cleansing, moisturising and aftercare products recommended for you. Apply daily SPF and restart retinol, acids and other actives only when your practitioner confirms your skin is ready.

Unsure whether microneedling is right for you?

Book either a telephone or in-person consultation before treatment. We will discuss your skin, medical history, goals, downtime and the most appropriate Dermapen 4™ plan without pressure to proceed.

Your appointment

Assess. Treat. Protect.

Before treatment

Discuss your goals, skin type, medicines, allergies, healing history and recent treatments. Agree the area, likely course and cost.

During treatment

The skin is prepared and a sterile, single-use needle cartridge is used. Your practitioner adapts the treatment to the area and your tolerance.

Recovery & aftercare

Temporary redness, warmth, tightness and sensitivity are expected. Dryness, flaking, swelling or pinpoint bleeding can occur. Follow the advice on cleansing, skincare, sun protection and resuming your routine.

Progressive results

Texture and scar improvements develop over time. Appointments are spaced to allow recovery; your course and review schedule are confirmed after assessment.

Plan around important events rather than assuming no downtime. Possible complications include infection, pigment changes, cold-sore reactivation and scarring. Tell us about active skin conditions, pregnancy, medicines, impaired healing and a history of keloids so we can assess suitability and explain consent.

Questions answered

Before you book.

Dermapen 4™ or RF microneedling?

Dermapen uses mechanical microneedling. Derma RF adds radiofrequency heat. The choice depends on whether texture, scarring, firmness or body laxity is the main concern. Explore Derma RF.

Can Dermapen be combined with exosomes, polynucleotides or NCTF?

These options can be discussed within a personalised plan. We confirm the exact product, intended use, suitability and timing. A combined plan may involve separate appointments rather than every product being used in one session.

Will it remove scars or stretch marks?

The aim is to improve their appearance. Complete removal is not a realistic promise, and different scar types respond differently.

How many sessions will I need?

Scarring and stretch marks often need a course. We explain the recommended schedule, recovery intervals and price before you commit.
