MEDICAL PLUS – May 2014
The Youth Pen E-Dermastamp offers an excellent option for simultaneously rejuvenating the skin from both the inside and outside. We strive to renew and strengthen our skin internally with vitamin injections and hyaluronic acids, and externally with treatments such as peels and rollers. Dr. Hilal Gökalp, Dermatology Specialist at M-Onep Clinics, answered our questions about the Youth Pen:
What is the Youth Pen?
The Youth Pen E-Dermastamp consists of 6 steel needles on the device and a reservoir that scans to store the anti-aging product needed by the skin. The E-Dermastamp device, which resembles a pen tip, has needles ranging from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm in length, chosen according to the individual’s needs for the application. These needles deliver 50 to 150 strokes per second to the skin for a dermabrasion effect. The number of strokes is also determined by the skin’s needs. Moisturizing, anti-spot, or anti-aging products required by the skin are placed in the Youth Pen’s product reservoir and delivered to the skin simultaneously to enhance their effect. The difference of the Youth Pen from methods that aim to renew the visible surface of the skin by stimulating it is its ability to simultaneously offer the effects of mesotherapy applications that support the skin from within. After determining the needle length and number of strokes, a cocktail of products is created according to the individual’s needs, completing the protocol, and then applied to the skin with the Youth Pen. As is known, externally applied vitamins and hyaluronic acid provide limited success due to the skin’s strong barrier. Growth factors, herbal stem cell extracts, vitamins, and serums, reaching the deeper layers of the skin through the small channels opened by the Youth Pen, enhance the success and permanence of the results of the Youth Pen E-Dermastamp.
