Dermapen 4 & Beneb Growth Factor Effects and Downtime

Dermapen 4 promotes skin renewal by utilizing the natural healing power inherent in the human body, and by combining various drugs, the active ingredient of the drug is delivered to the depths of the skin and absorbed. I can. The effect obtained depends on the drug to be combined.

The growth factor, which is combined as an option menu of Dermapen 4, supports the skin regeneration of Dermapen 4, proliferates and activates cells, promotes turnover, which is the metabolism of the skin, and improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It has the function of promoting the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin that are retained .

One of the drugs whose main component is growth factor is the "BENEV Growth Factor" series .

Before receiving a treatment that combines Dermapen 4 and Beneb Growth Factor, you can receive the treatment with peace of mind by knowing the expected effects, the recommended number and frequency of treatments, downtime and precautions . ..

Effect and mechanism of Dermapen 4 that regenerates skin with natural healing power

Dermapen 4 is a procedure in which the needle moves up and down at a high speed, which is said to be 120 times per second, to make invisible fine needle holes on the skin surface.

Treatment with Dermapen 4 utilizes the natural healing power of the human body, which is the ability to heal wounds and injuries on its own. By making a fine needle hole on the skin surface with a needle as fine as a hair, skin cells are reborn by the natural healing power that tries to repair the needle hole .

Growth factors that activate cell activity to heal needle holes are secreted , and the turnover cycle, which is the metabolism of the skin, becomes active, which makes the skin smoother and makes the skin rough, acne, and pimples. It leads to improvement of trouble .

In addition, it is said that the action of growth factors activates the action of fibroblasts that produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that give the skin firmness and elasticity and retain water .

Scar treatment mode for acne scar treatment

Dermapen 4 is equipped with a scar treatment mode (ST mode), which is a scar healing (hankonchiyu) mode that can make needle holes up to the deep layer of the skin (3.0 mm) , as a new function not found in conventional models . It has become possible to focus on the treatment of crater-like acne scars and scars .

In ST mode, it is necessary to move the needle not only vertically but also intentionally at an angle, so the procedure is usually performed by a doctor rather than a nurse.

Dermapen 4's drug delivery effect enhances the treatment effect

Human skin has a three-layer structure consisting of the epidermis layer, dermis layer, and subcutaneous tissue from the outside, and on the surface of the epidermis layer, a barrier function that prevents the invasion of foreign substances from the outside and the evaporation of water in the body works inside. I am protecting.

While the barrier function of the epidermis layer blocks the invasion of foreign substances such as bacteria, the active ingredients such as lotion and serum applied to the skin usually stay on the surface of the epidermis layer and do not penetrate deeply. can not.

Therefore, by making a high-density needle hole from the epidermis layer to the dermis layer of the skin with Dermapen 4 and applying the drug, the active ingredient of the drug that originally stays on the surface of the epidermis layer by just applying it is from the needle hole to the epidermis layer. Since it penetrates firmly from the back of the skin to the dermis layer, it can be expected to be more effective than applying the drug as it is. This action is called "drug delivery" .

Human-derived growth factor that activates cells and promotes skin repair

Growth factor is a general term for proteins that promote the proliferation and differentiation of specific cells in the human body (each cell acquires a function that matches its role), and helps the regeneration of damaged cells. It has the function of regenerating the skin .

It is also called a growth factor, cell growth factor, etc., and is called "Growth Factor" in English.

Growth factors are substances that control cell division that creates new cells. They are originally produced in the body, but they decrease with age and are said to decrease sharply after the age of 20.

The decrease in growth factors leads to the inactivation of cell division, which is thought to cause various skin aging phenomena such as wrinkles, sagging, and age spots.

The main types of growth factors are epithelial cell growth factor (EGF) , which promotes skin metabolism turnover in the epidermis layer, and fibroblasts, which promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the dermis layer. These include fibroblast growth factor (FGF) .

Synergistic effect of using Dermapen 4 and growth factors together

When a drug containing growth factors as the main component is combined with the treatment of Dermapen 4, it is possible to supplement the growth factors that decrease with age and penetrate from the depths of the epidermis to the dermis layer, so the synergy between Dermapen 4 and growth factors It is said that the effect enhances the skin regeneration effect .
