Equipmed Releases Dermapen 3™: The Most Controllable, Robust, and Feature Rich Medical Needling Device Alternative to Fractional Lasers

SYDNEY, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Equipmed, a leading international developer of innovative cosmetic equipment, has just launched a ground-up redesign of their famous Dermapen™, specifically to withstand the rigors of continuous daily use in a medical practice and provide medical practitioners with a viable alternative to fractional lasers. The Dermapen 3™ incorporates a series of new features that make it one of the most controllable and robust needling devices currently available.

The Dermapen™ device series has proven to deliver the same type of results as a Fractional Laser without the pain, downtime, expense and unnecessary thermal damage. Dermapen 3™ is now the "Gold Standard" for treating difficult acne and surgical scars, even keloids.

Doctors use the Dermapen 3™ to induce natural collagen production and treat pigmentation, all types of scars, reduce wrinkles, improve stretch marks, minimize pore size and generally prevent the appearance of aging.

The device has a tremendously powerful motor and tough case. Its unique vertical needling technology, multi-speed motor and adjustable needle depths render it safer and more effective in piercing the skin than traditional skin needling rollers.

New features include:

1300 Micro Holes per second

12 Fine s/s Hi Tensile Needles

Advanced needle Depth Control

Heavy-duty Cycle Motor

Adjustable Speed Control

Advanced Oscillating Vertical Needling (AOVN™)

Integrated cable design

"We learned what the market was seeking through responses to our first two models and applied this knowledge in the development of our latest Dermapen™. Unlike many pens that are off the shelf rebadges of existing products, our Dermapen 3™ was designed from scratch in Australia and represents a complete new and professional-grade solution for the medical market," says Stene Marshall, CEO of Equipmed.

The Dermapen 3™ can treat hard to reach places (around ear, nose, eyes and lips), penetrates scar tissue and yields a more comfortable procedure with faster healing times. It is an ideal improvement for any medical office seeking to offer patients fractional rejuvenation for a fraction of the cost.

The Dermapen 3™ is being officially launched at the 2014 American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting.
