What is Dermaroller ?
Using ultra-fine needles thinner than hair, it enhances skin’s wound healing ability by creating tiny holes on the skin surface.
During the skin recovery process, collagen and elastin increase,
Promoting skin regeneration, improving skin firmness, elasticity, acne scars, unevenness of craters, pores, fine lines, and sagging.
Dermaroller 4 can open 1,920 holes per second on the skin with 16 ultra-fine needles, allowing for quick treatments.
How Dermaroller Works
With Dermaroller 4 used in our clinic, the maximum depth can now be adjusted up to 3.0mm.
Compared to traditional Dermarollers, the number of needles has increased, and the maximum depth has been increased, making it easier to penetrate effective ingredients.
The skin has inherent healing power to heal itself, and this treatment draws out that power.
Mechanism of Dermaroller 4
By setting Dermaroller 4 needles to a deeper level, effectiveness can be expected even on acne scars deep within the skin.
Continued treatment gradually improves skin smoothness, thereby improving acne scars.
Redness of acne, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores also gradually improve in texture.
Through collagen and elastin production, it improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, leading to supple and elastic skin.
History of Dermaroller
In 2011, Dermaroller 1 was released by Dermaroller World, evolving into a pen-type device.
Continued improvements led to the release of Dermaroller 4 in 2020.
Using needles finer than hair, ranging from 0.25mm to 2.5mm in depth, Dermaroller creates small, vertical punctures on the skin's surface tailored to its condition, activating turnover. It amplifies collagen and elastin during the skin's repair process, treating acne and acne scars.
Dermaroller is a medical device approved by the FDA in the United States (equivalent to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) for treating acne and acne scars.
Features of Dermaroller 4:
Dermaroller 4 now features 16 needles of 33G, creating 1,920 holes per second.
Moreover, it operates at 120 vibrations per second, the fastest in the world. This treatment rejuvenates the skin through wound healing with even less downtime than before.

Dermaroller 4 enhances skin's self-regeneration by creating tiny, high-density punctures, promoting collagen and elastin production. It is said to lead to skin rejuvenation and overall improvement in skin texture.

01Acne Scars
Acne is an inflammation that occurs in the pores, ranging from mild to severe cases. With severe acne, acne scars may remain after the inflammation subsides. There are various types of acne scars, and particularly severe cases with inflammation and pus are termed “hypertrophic scars” or keloids.
Skin can also develop acne scars that appear as indentations with enlarged pores. While such acne scars may naturally heal, they can sometimes heal slowly or leave noticeable discoloration. Using Dermaroller 4 to create fine needle punctures on the skin activates turnover, enhances skin’s self-regenerative properties, and can expedite the healing of pigmentation and crater-like scars faster than usual.
-
02Enlarged Pores
Troubles with pores are primarily caused by skin sagging, excessive sebum secretion, and clogging due to blackheads. When sebum is trapped in pores without being released, it transforms into blackheads upon exposure to air, giving the appearance of blackened pores. Normally, sebum acts as a film to prevent skin dryness. Excessive sebum can expand pores, making them more visible.
Factors contributing to increased sebum include hormonal changes during puberty, temperature, diet, and skin dryness. Dermaroller 4 opens fine needle punctures on the skin to enhance self-regeneration, promote collagen and elastin production in the skin, accelerate turnover, and improve skin texture. Generated collagen and elastin tighten pores, reducing their visibility.
-
03Skin Firmness, Elasticity, Fine Lines
As aging progresses, skin loses its firmness and elasticity, making wrinkles and sagging more likely. This is due to the loosening of collagen and elastin in the dermis, which are responsible for supporting the epidermis and maintaining skin elasticity. Dermaroller 4 enhances natural healing ability by creating fine needle punctures on the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production, thereby increasing skin firmness and elasticity, and leading to smoother skin.
Dermaroller 4 Solutions

Uber Peel
This drug is effective for improving pigmentation caused by acne and for active acne.
An all-in-one hypoallergenic peeling agent exclusively for Dermapen that comprehensively improves your skin's beauty.
This peel contains mandelic acid, a type of AHA, which is mild but easily penetrates the skin.
This is a skin-friendly peeling agent that even first-time users can use with confidence.
Due to the synergistic effect with the skin regeneration effect of Dermapen 4, higher effects can be expected than peeling treatment alone.
It also contains kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide, etc., which adjusts the turnover disordered by aging etc.
It leads to bright, even-textured skin.
This peeling agent is highly effective in improving acne and pimples, and is recommended for those who want a comprehensive solution to various skin problems.
At our clinic, we provide an aftercare pack (usually ¥3,300) at no additional charge to protect your skin from becoming acidic after the peel.
We are wearing it together.
Peeling agent recommended for those who want to comprehensively eliminate skin problems
Massage peel (velvet skin)
The treatment that combines Dermapen 4 and massage peel is called Velvet Skin.
Massage peel, like Uber peel, is a type of peeling agent.
Apply a liquid called "PRX-T33" to the entire face while massaging it, then wipe off the drug within a few seconds.
Trichloroacetic acid contained in PRX-T33 penetrates into the dermis and activates turnover.
By using it together with Dermapen, skin turnover can be further activated.
It is so named because it aims to make your skin as smooth and textured as woven velvet.
By activating turnover, dirt on the skin surface is removed and the skin becomes brighter.
It also contains kojic acid, which inhibits the activation of tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces melanin, which causes dark spots.
Therefore, you can also expect a whitening effect.
You can also expect a whitening effect.

POINT
1Adjustable Depth According to Areas and ConcernsThe needle length can be adjusted in 0.1mm increments, allowing customization for thin or thick skin areas, and addressing concerns such as acne scars or pigmentation in deeper layers of the skin. Depth adjustments are tailored to specific areas and concerns. Initially, treatment follows the clinic’s standard depth guidelines, with adjustments made from the second session onwards based on the downtime and current condition of the skin. This flexibility enables treatment from the superficial epidermal layer to the deeper dermal layers, effectively targeting acne and acne scars across different skin depths.
-
POINT
2Precision Treatment with Pen-shaped DeviceAs the name suggests, the Dermapen is a pen-shaped machine, so it can treat more detailed areas.
It is characterized by being easy to apply to fine lines, creases, and nostrils. Therefore, you can thoroughly care for the area around your nose, where acne scars and pores are often a problem.
-
POINT
3Reduced Pain and Swelling Compared to Conventional DevicesDermapen 4’s ultra-fine needles are finer than hair. Since it is applied evenly and evenly to the skin while applying vibrations with constant pressure, skin irritation and pain are reduced even more than before.
Before the introduction of dermapens, holes were made using a roller called a dermaroller with a needle attached.
Because the roller rotates, the needle hole spreads out in a fan shape, which has the disadvantage of causing the wound to open wide. Due to the large size of the wound, downtime was also long.
-
POINT
4Additional topical anesthesia possibleFor those who are concerned about pain or who are afraid of the procedure for the first time, we can additionally administer topical anesthesia.
We will apply a numbing cream to the surface of your skin and allow it to penetrate for about 20 minutes before beginning the Dermapen treatment.Additional fee: ¥3,300
