Dermapen Microneedling in Basingstoke
At Hampshire Dental Care, we now offer imedpen® x Microneedling in Basingstoke – a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that safely stimulates collagen, reduces scarring and restores firm, radiant skin.
Whether you're targeting fine lines, acne scars, laugh lines or sun-damaged skin, microneedling delivers visible, natural results with minimal downtime.
How Does Dermapen Microneedling Work?
With imedpen® x Microneedling, controlled micro-injuries are created using medical-grade sterile 16-pin cartridges. This triggers your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to internal skin remodelling.
The device features adjustable needle depth (0.25-2.5 mm) and a powerful yet quiet motor with ergonomic design and USB-C charging, making treatments more comfortable and precise – especially in sensitive areas like face, neck, and décolletage.

Targeted Treatment Areas
Face
Microneedling is especially effective for the face, where concerns like laugh lines, acne scars, dull texture and fine wrinkles are common. The Dermapen improves skin tone and refines texture, making the complexion look brighter and more youthful.
It’s particularly helpful around:
- Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
- Forehead lines
- Cheeks
- Chin and jawline
- Under-eye crepiness
Neck
The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of ageing due to thin, sun-exposed skin. Dermapen microneedling helps tighten loose skin, reduce horizontal neck lines (“tech neck”) and restore elasticity. Over time, your neck appears smoother, firmer and better matched to your rejuvenated face.
Décolletage / Chest
Years of sun exposure can leave the chest area crepey, wrinkled or pigmented. Microneedling on the décolletage promotes skin remodelling, reduces uneven tone, and improves texture without lasers or peels.
This is ideal for women seeking to refresh the skin between the neck and bust, especially when wearing lower necklines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dermapen microneedling painful?
Most patients describe it as a mild scratching sensation. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week, but the real transformation occurs gradually over 4–6 weeks as collagen regenerates.
Can Dermapen help with laugh lines?
Yes! Microneedling stimulates collagen in areas like the nasolabial folds (laugh lines), softening their appearance and improving overall skin firmness.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Dermapen microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker tones. It doesn’t use heat or lasers, so there’s no risk of pigmentation issues when performed correctly.
How much downtime is there?
Minimal. You may experience redness (similar to a mild sunburn) and slight swelling for 24-48 hours. Most patients return to daily activities the next day.
Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Absolutely. Microneedling can enhance results when combined with skin boosters, chemical peels or mesotherapy. We’ll advise the best treatment plan during your consultation.
