Yes, the device we use is medical grade with the treatments being performed by GMC specialist registered consultants.

The effects of a dermapen are not considered permanent as factors such as the skins natural aging process plays a role in lasting results. Clinicians recommend a maintenance program which could include quarterly procedures to keep skin looking it’s best.
