DP4 Microneedling to restore smoother skin
The DP4 microneedling treatment is offered at Victoria Park Medispa. This microneedling technology is particularly effective in stimulating skin regeneration. Hydrating your skin, exercising, or applying creams are well-known practices for maintaining beautiful skin. However, in practice, these good habits do not prevent skin cells from aging and deteriorating.
To counteract the effects of time, as well as to reduce skin imperfections, it is necessary to help tissues regenerate. This is precisely what DP4 microneedling allows. This technology, also called microneedling in French, stimulates the creation of new cells without the need for invasive surgery. DP4 is a microneedling treatment for the face, where it can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, for stretch marks on the body, as well as for most skin blemishes.
What is DP4 microneedling?
The DP4 microneedling treatment is performed using a microneedling pen equipped with a sterile needle tip that can penetrate up to 3 millimeters deep into the skin. In doing so, it reaches layers of cells beneath the skin’s surface. When these cells are damaged, the body initiates a healing process that leads to increased production of collagen and elastin, two essential substances for skin elasticity and firmness.
To ensure the session is as comfortable as possible, the technician at Victoria Park Medispa may apply a numbing cream to the treatment area beforehand. Once the cream has taken effect, she applies a hyaluronic acid serum to improve healing and hydration. As for the risk of injury, this technology is equipped with a system that prevents unintentional scratches. The treated skin is then ready to absorb the nutrients from subsequent treatments, blood circulation is improved, and dead cells that dull the complexion are eliminated.

DP4 microneedling for the face: for whom and for what?
DP4 microneedling is a treatment that can be recommended for individuals looking to counteract the sagging skin that comes with age. The visible effects of aging often first appear on the face. This is because the many expressions humans are capable of lead to muscle contractions, causing wrinkles over time: frown lines, crow’s feet, or smile lines. Three to six DP4 microneedling sessions, spaced four weeks apart, can help smooth facial features and restore a youthful appearance.
But the benefits of this technology can also suit patients who want to achieve an even skin tone and get rid of their melasma, or those who want to combat skin discoloration. Microneedling treatment can also reduce the appearance of scars, whether from injury or acne. People who want to diminish the appearance of these sometimes bothersome marks can benefit from the treatment, provided their health condition allows it. It should be noted that only healthy individuals who are not breastfeeding or pregnant can benefit from this treatment.
DP4 microneedling: a stretch mark microneedling treatment
When the skin stretches, especially when it happens quickly, it can lose elasticity and thin out, leading to stretch marks. The body may then react by creating new fibers to maintain skin flexibility, but these new tissues can sometimes differ from existing fibers and create an unsightly visual effect. Less vascularized, these bands of skin may also appear lighter than the surrounding skin. This phenomenon occurs, for example, during significant weight gain or pregnancy.
Although this is natural, individuals experiencing these changes may find it difficult to accept. To help them regain confidence, they can consult a qualified technician at Victoria Park Medispa for a skin analysis and receive DP4 microneedling treatment. By penetrating beneath the skin, the tiny needles help the body produce new, better-irrigated tissues to even out the skin’s appearance. Alone or in combination with another treatment (such as Morpheus 8 fractional laser or platelet-rich plasma application), it is possible to restore smoother, healthier skin.
In summary
DP4 microneedling is a skin rejuvenation technique using a pen equipped with sterile micro-needles. These needles penetrate up to 3 millimeters under the skin to create controlled microtraumas, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process regenerates skin tissues, improves firmness and elasticity, and reduces imperfections.
DP4 microneedling is effective in reducing wrinkles, smoothing fine lines, fading acne or injury scars, reducing melasma, and improving the appearance of stretch marks. It is also suitable for evening out skin tone and improving overall skin texture.
This treatment is intended for healthy individuals looking to correct visible signs of aging, scars, or pigmentation issues. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with certain specific medical conditions. A prior consultation is essential to determine eligibility.
Yes, DP4 microneedling can be combined with treatments like Morpheus8 or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to maximize results. These combinations allow for even smoother, firmer, and more even skin by acting on multiple layers of the skin.
Combining microneedling with another treatment for optimal results
It is possible to combine the benefits of DP4 microneedling with those of Morpheus 8 to enhance the results. Morpheus 8 is a type of fractional laser that works on the principle of radiofrequency, which is why it is sometimes called RF microneedling treatment.
In reality, its action amplifies that of the microneedles under the skin, which produces more collagen and elastin, for a firmer and smoother appearance. It is a remodeling treatment offered at Victoria Park Medispa, which may interest those looking to improve the contours of their face, for example, or reshape certain areas of their body.
