The DermaStamp® is a SINGLE USE, DISPOSABLE
CE-marked medical device and
serves the treatment of atrophic scars (e.g.
chicken pox). In general scar improvement
of 70% can be achieved, everything above that
should be regarded as a bonus. The 6
stainless steel needles of medical grade have an
average length of 1.8 to 2 mm and a
diameter at maximum penetration point of 0.12
mm. Needle arrangement and finishing
cut guaranty penetration forces of less than 50
grams. The DermaStamp® should only
be handled by licensed, professional skin care
specialists. CASE 1:
The scar on the pictures below was
treated for 1 minute. The patient refused an
anaesthetisation. Each part of the scar, as well as
the scar edges, were punctured about 15 to 20 times
until petechiae showed up on the scar edges. After
the procedure the treated area was cleaned with
sterile saline solution. Further wound dressing was
not necessary. One month later the patient came back
for follow-up pictures. The clinic staff judged the
improvement with 70%. (A second treatment may bring
another 10 to 15%).
The last picture clearly indicates that the former
depressive scar was filled with a new collagen
formation and the micro-needling induced new
capillaries that migrated into the previous scar.
The increased blood supply harmonised the old scar
tissue with the surrounding pigmentation. (Pictures

CASE 2 and 3:
This young woman was tortured with
burning cigarettes on her forehead and her arms as
well. The after pictures were taken after one month.
If an anaesthetisation is desired the physician has
2 possibilities:
- Local injection (acts immediately)
- Numbing cream* (acts in about 25 minutes)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The DermaStamp consists of a needle holder and a
protection cap. The DermaStamp is fitted with 6
stainless steel needles of surgical quality. Needle
length: 1,8 mm. Needle diameter at maximum
penetration point: 0.12 mm. The DermaStamp is a
gamma-sterilised instrument for SINGLE USE.
INDICATIONS:
- Isolated scars and smaller scar formations
- Distinct deeper mimic wrinkles
- Isolated pigment conglomeration
- Transdermal delivery of hydrophilic and
lipophilic formulations
PROCEDURE:
Only to be performed by licensed skin care
professionals
-
 Photos,
if possible in macro
-
Disinfect scar and surrounding skin
(avoid alcohol)
-
Anaesthetisation of scars and peripheral
skin by injection, topic anaesthetizing
cream
-
Support your hand (see picture below).
Avoid inclined pricking and rotating of the
needles while they stay in the skin! It
could cause unnecessary skin lesions.
-
Hold the DermaStamp vertically above the
skin
-
Prick the scar and the scar edges to the
healthy skin several times. The needles are
extremely sharp, so only soft to medium
pressure is required. 15 to 20 pricks are
sufficient.
-
In order to achieve an even pricking
pattern, slightly displace the DermaStamp or
rotate it lightly before the next prick.
-
During and after the procedure an even
pattern of petechiae should show on the
skin’s surface.
-
Clean the treated area with sterile
saline solution. No further wound dressing
is required.
-
Place the protection cap and dispose the
instrument according to local regulations
TREATMENT
INVERVALS:
In order to achieve the best possible
results, 2 to 3 treatments at the most must
be considered. As neo-collagenesis and
neo-angiogenesis needs time to mature, the
treatment intervals should be at least 4,
better 6 weeks and more apart.
CONTRA
INDICATIONS:
- Active, flourishing acne
- Warts
- Infected skin
- Herpes
- Tendency to keloids
SIDE
EFFECTS:
According to our experience in
micro-needling with the Dermaroller,
negative side effects were never
reported.
