USER ACKNOWLEDGMENT: We have been advised by Equipmed or the local representative that the National Recommendations for Standard Dermal Needling Treatments which could apply to the Dermapen™ Procedures, is that only qualified health professionals should operate this procedure to the depth over 1mm.

ORDER OF TREATMENT: Step 1. Cleansing: • Thoroughly cleanse the skin with an appropriate cleansing product, suitable to the type of skin being treated.
• For an optimal effect, it is advisable to remove dead cells of the stratum corneum with an exfoliating product such as DP Dermaceuticals™ MD Exfoliant (peeler, microderm, exfoliation treatment) before starting the treatment with Dermapen™. • Remove all residue of the cleanser followed by a suitable antiseptic toner or wipe. Step 2. Spread anaesthetic ointment on the treatment region: • (It is important to read the user’s manual of the anaesthetic cream before its application.) • Leave on surface of skin for about 15-50 minutes (depending on product used) before removing it. Best to occlude with plastic wrap for the duration waiting period. • Remove all residue of anaesthetic ointment followed by a suitable antiseptic toner or wipe. Step 3. Set up of Dermapen™: 1. Plug in adaptor and insert sterilised needle into the Dermapen™ tip 2. Turn on using speed setting. (Face speed :1~4, Body speed :3~4) 3. Select the needle depth and speed of the Dermapen that best suits the treatment area. See below as a guide: Step 4. Active Ingredients application & Treatment: • Visually section the treatment area into 5 regions; ie. forehead, right cheek, left cheek, chin/upper lip & nose • 4.
