Microneedling Amsterdam: Medical Dermapen Behandeling

Safety and skin analysis are always our priority. Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration process without causing permanent damage—provided that contraindications are properly assessed beforehand. When is microneedling not suitable? Although microneedling is safe for many skin types, there are situations where the treatment is postponed or not recommended. Active inflammation or active acne Microneedling is not performed on active inflammatory acne (red, painful pimples). The skin must first be calmed to prevent the spread of bacteria and worsening of inflammation. For acne scars, microneedling can be very effective—but only when there is no active inflammation present. Rosacea or extremely sensitive skin With active rosacea or highly reactive skin, a careful assessment is required to determine whether the treatment is safe. In some cases, a gentler approach or alternative treatment is recommended. Pregnancy During pregnancy, intensive skin treatments are often postponed as a precaution. Although microneedling itself does not involve harmful substances, we choose maximum caution. Use of isotretinoin (Roaccutane) If isotretinoin has been used recently, microneedling should be postponed. This medication affects skin structure and wound healing. We generally recommend waiting at least 6 months after completing the course. Use of blood thinners Clients using blood thinners may have an increased risk of bruising or delayed healing. In such cases, treatment suitability is always assessed individually. How do we ensure maximum safety? Before every treatment, we perform a comprehensive skin analysis and medical intake, including: • Skin condition • Medication use • Medical history • Skin sensitivity • Any contraindications In addition: • Sterile, single-use cartridges are always used • Needle depth is precisely adjusted per treatment zone • Personalized aftercare advice is provided • The skin barrier is actively supported during recovery Professionally performed microneedling is a controlled and safe form of skin regeneration. Summary Microneedling is safe for most skin types, provided that: • There are no active inflammations • Contraindications have been ruled out • The treatment is performed professionally Not sure if microneedling is suitable for your skin?
