FAQ’s
Dermapen 4 is the breakthrough of the decade utilising the most advanced needle cartridge innovation to vertically pierce the skin. Dermapen 4 glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices. In turn our body’s natural response triggers a natural process of repair. The result is an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing, retexturizing and overall skin renewal anywhere on the body.
CIT is minimally-invasive procedure that aims to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars by stimulating existing collagen and elastin. CIT, also known as microneedling, has become quite popular with both patients and clinicians, because it is safe and effective. Dermapen is recognised in over 66 countries as the best CIT Medical Device.
Microneedling inducing CIT works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer too.
Your body can literally make its own new collagen and restore your youthfulness!!
No! Traditional dermal rolling techniques proved to be a bloody and painful treatment, requiring the application of topical anaesthetic cream (TLA) before treatments. Today with Dermapen 4TM there is no comparison – this is the most comfortable, virtually pain-free microneedling treatment available overall.
Treatments required per person will vary however for most general skin concerns we recommend on average 4 sessions spaced between 4-8 weeks apart.
Dermapen 4 can be used to treat the appearance of:
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Stretch Marks
- Acne
- Acne scarring
- Pigmentation
- Scarring of any kind
- Enlarged Pores

Cosmetic tattoos are considered semi-permanent, as they do fade over time. Some clients may require more frequent treatments than others. How often, depends on a number of factors:
Skin types are unique in terms of pigment retention and break down. For those with very oily skin, the microblade brow technique will not work as well. Your end result may look more powdered than you expect.
Lighter pigments fade faster If you are anaemic, as you metabolise the pigment faster, your Permanent Makeup may fade more quickly. Medications, such as for Thyroid, may cause pigments to fade faster.
Lifestyle effects, e.g. your amount of sun exposure. Smokers, your pigment will fade faster and the topical anaesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long.
Some cosmetic tattoos may only need to be touched up annually.
When skin is altered in a cosmeceutical procedure, including from an injection, there may be some degradation to the skin. This may well affect how a cosmetic tattoo holds in the skin.
If so, prior work other than by Sasha Luxe artists may have resulted in some underlying scar tissue or pigment congestion. These may affect your healing outcomes and we cannot guarantee the retention of pigment.
This depends on the treatment. Multiple sessions are the norm. Every new procedure requires a minimum of 2 visits.
Keeping in mind that pain thresholds do vary, most clients say they experience only a little discomfort. Sensitivity levels may increase during menstruation.
First application times:
Brows ≈ 2.5 hours
Eye Liner ≈ 2 hours
Lips ≈ 2.5.
Expect some mild swelling and redness. Initially, the area will be darker than you expect. Give this a day or two to clear. During the first week the colour will lighten. Gradually, over the next few weeks, this will settle and soften. We provide detailed after-care instructions. To get the best results, please follow them assiduously.
If you do experience any reactions, or have concerns after treatment, please contact us immediately for further consultation, an in case of an emergency please don’t hesitate to dial 000 for emergency assistance.
If the colour lightens more than you expected, we can darken or do a touch up with a second application. This will also help to ensure ongoing colour fastness. At Sasha Luxe follow ups are typically shorter and less expensive than any initial treatment done. The ideal time frame for a follow up visit is between 4-8 weeks post procedure.

If your existing brow treatment is not 90% faded, our advice is to wait until this is so.
If you have existing permanent dark eyebrows you may wish to lighten the area first. Our advice here is to consider a form of tattoo removal beforehand. In this case you will need time to heal before undergoing anymore cosmetic Brow treatment.
Unfortunately at this moment at Sasha Luxe we do not offer any form of brow, lip or eyeliner corrections.

Give yourself time!
You must be 18 or over. This is the legal minimum age requirement.
Time to be treated
Make arrangements so you have a few hours free to be treated. Follow your after-care instructions carefully. Consult your doctor beforehand if you need to do so.
Time to heal
Give yourself some time out for any darkening, swelling and redness to disappear. Don’t book your treatment too close to a special or important event.
Over time
Expect your Permanent Makeup to fade over time. How long the pigment holds is affected by the ability of your body’s skin cells to absorb the pigment and to regenerate. Lighter pigments e.g. blonde fade faster than darker pigments.
When time fades your Permanent Makeup it’s time to book your next Sasha Luxe treatment.
