Dr. Johnson began working with the cosmetic – dermatological industry over 10 years ago as an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser developer. Having extensive previous experience with fractional lasers, Dr. Johnson found Dermapen to be a highly competitive solution. He states, “Needle dermabrasion has an impressive scientific literature base, without a single reported case of post-treatment post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so common after laser-based therapies. Dermapen induces collagenesis without coagulating capillaries and leaving charred, necrotic debris in the micro-wounds. It appears to do this without inflammation”.
