Dermaperforating is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin through precise mechanical perforation of the epidermis and dermis layers. The technique employs specialized instruments to generate microscopic channels while preserving the surrounding tissue integrity.
The process stimulates the skin’s natural wound healing response, triggering fibroblast activation and neocollagenesis. These micro-perforations measure between 0.1 and 0.25 millimeters in diameter and reach specific depths of 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters depending on the treatment area and therapeutic goals.
The biological cascade initiated by dermaperforating includes increased production of growth factors, enhanced blood circulation, and accelerated cellular turnover. This regenerative response leads to improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and enhanced dermal matrix remodeling. The technique proves particularly effective in treating atrophic scars, stretch marks, and photo-aged skin through controlled mechanical disruption of fibrotic tissue.
