Microneedling (Dermapen) in Dubai: Treat Acne Scars & Rejuvenate Skin

Microneedling with Dermapen has become one of the most popular skin treatments in Dubai for good reason — it effectively treats acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture with minimal downtime. At About.Skin in Al Ghurair Mall, our dermatologists use the latest Dermapen technology to deliver precise, controlled micro-injuries that activate the skin’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen production.

What Is Dermapen Microneedling?

Dermapen is an advanced electronic microneedling device that uses fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound-healing cascade, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. Unlike older dermaroller devices, Dermapen’s vertical needle penetration ensures more precise depth control and more even treatment, reducing discomfort and improving results.

What Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is exceptionally effective for acne scars, including ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars that are otherwise difficult to treat. It also works well for fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, uneven skin texture and tone, and hyperpigmentation. When combined with PRP therapy, results are significantly enhanced — a combination known as the “vampire facial” that has gained worldwide popularity.

The Microneedling Experience at About.Skin

Your treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, followed by the application of a topical numbing cream for 20 to 30 minutes. The Dermapen treatment itself takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the area. Our dermatologist adjusts the needle depth based on the concern being treated — shallower for general rejuvenation, deeper for acne scars. After treatment, a calming serum or PRP is applied to soothe the skin and enhance absorption.

Recovery and Results

After microneedling, expect mild redness similar to a light sunburn that fades within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients can return to work the next day with mineral makeup to cover any residual pinkness. Results begin to appear within 2 to 4 weeks as new collagen forms, with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months. For acne scarring, we typically recommend 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. For general rejuvenation, 3 sessions deliver excellent results.
