At Clinic4O2, treatments include the face, neck, and décolletage, and are completed with a soothing hydrating mask.

Essential Treatment Information
Dermapen 4 uses a medical-grade device with 16 ultra-fine needles to create thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural repair process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. The device penetrates up to 2.5mm, allowing for precision treatment with reduced discomfort compared to traditional microneedling. Each session typically lasts 45–60 minutes and includes skin preparation, numbing (if needed), microneedling, and post-treatment care with a calming mask.
