What is velvet skin in the first place?
Velvet Skin is one of the skin care treatments that have been gaining attention in the beauty industry in recent years, and is a combination of "dermapen" and "massage peel".
As the name suggests, the goal is to achieve "velvety skin." This treatment uses a dermapen to pierce the skin with a fine needle and massage peel agents deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, making the skin firm and luminous.
While Dermapen is a procedure that uses the body's self-healing power to regenerate the skin, by stimulating collagen production in the skin there, it is expected to activate the skin's self-repairing ability and produce a stronger collagen effect.
However, there are individual differences in the way results are achieved depending on the individual skin type, condition, frequency of treatment, and method. Correct understanding and proper usage are important to achieve the expected results.
Effects of Velvet Skin
Velvet Skin has become one of the most popular cosmetic skin procedures in recent years due to its various benefits.
- Improvement of acne scars:
Directly acts on the dermal layer to activate collagen production in order to naturally heal sunken scars caused by progressive inflammation due to acne and its effect on the dermal layer of the skin. Can reduce the appearance of acne scars. - Improvement of pores:
Pores become more prominent due to sagging skin, and collagen loss due to aging is the main cause of pore size. Collagen production is stimulated, skin elasticity is restored, and smooth skin with no visible pores can be obtained - Improvement of dullness and wrinkles of the skin:
Melanin pigment is expelled by enhancing the skin's self-healing ability, and at the same time, kojic acid inhibits melanin production, improving dullness. Fine wrinkles are also reduced by restoring skin elasticity.
These effects are due to Velvet Skin's ability to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
What are the disadvantages? Also needs to be used according to skin type
Velvet Skin is basically suitable for all skin types. However, for dry skin, post-treatment moisturizing care is especially important.
In addition, people with sensitive skin should consult with a doctor before the procedure and adjust the intensity of the treatment to avoid skin irritation. On the other hand, people with oily skin need to be careful with their skin care after the procedure to prevent clogged pores, and should also avoid the procedure if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The common denominator for all skin types is to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen to maximize the benefits of the procedure.
Is it difficult to feel the effects of Velvet Skin?
If you do not feel the effects of Velvet Skin, there may be several factors. First, if the method of treatment is not appropriate, e.g., by the number of treatments, the expected results may not be achieved.
Usually, Velvet Skin is performed once a month, and the effects become apparent after five sessions (five months). There is a misunderstanding between the results greatly expected here and the actual effects of Velvet Skin, and many people may feel that the results are not as effective as they would like.
In addition, individual skin conditions, qualities, and constitutions, such as acne scars and pores, may produce different effects from the same treatment.
What is the difference between dermapen and velvet skin?

The main difference between Velvet Skin and Dermapen is the use of a massage peel. With Velvet Skin, the use of the massage peel provides an even higher level of skin care than the dermapen alone. Therefore, in many cases, the cost of Velvet Skin is higher than that of Dermapen.
