Microneedling & DermaPen Treatments | Hermanos Aesthetics Cape Town

MICRONEEDLING

ONE TOOL; MULTIPLE GOALS

WHY IT WORKS

Microneedling is incredibly versatile; used on both the face and scalp. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines or support thinning hair, the treatment stimulates your skin’s natural ability to regenerate. It boosts collagen, strengthens weak follicles, and delivers targeted serums deep into the skin – helping you look and feel better, from the inside out.

When the skin experiences an injury, the body sees it as damage and kicks off it’s own wound healing process. This includes increased blood flow, growth factor release, collagen + elastin production, and cell turnover. Together, these responses help rebuild skin affected by aging, scarring, or inflammation- and on the scalp, they reactivate dormant follicles and create a healthier environment for hair growth.

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE – AND ARE THEY ANY GOOD?

Combined with the Dermapen, which is one of the most advanced devices in the industry, we use clinical-grade serums from top brands like Mesoestetic, Lamelle and NeoStrata, chosen based on your skin or scalp concerns. These get delivered directly into the deeper layers, where they actually make a difference.

DOES IT HURT?

Not really. We use a medical-grade numbing cream for the face, so it feels more like a light scratch. The scalp version can feel a bit prickly, but it’s more manageable than it sounds and it is over quite quickly.

DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK – AND WHEN WILL I NOTICE A DIFFERENCE?

Yes – if you’re consistent. Microneedling has solid science behind it. You might notice changes after a few days, like smoother skin or a healthier scalp, but real results build over time. For skin, it improves scarring, fine lines, and texture. For the scalp, it boosts circulation and strengthens weak follicles. A series of treatments delivers the best results.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICRONEEDLING AND A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Microneedling works from the inside out, triggering your skin to rebuild + repair. Peels work from the outside in, exfoliating surface layers to clear congestion + improve tone. Both are powerful treatments – just with different goals.

WILL I BE RED OR NEED TO HIDE AWAY AFTERWARDS?

On the face, expect some redness for a day or two – like mild sunburn. You might feel tight / dry, with some light flaking. For the scalp, there’s rarely any redness or shedding – just a bit of sensitivity that fades quickly.
