BATTLE IT OUT: HYALURON PEN VS. DERMAL FILLER INJECTIONS

The difference between the two treatments and why they aren't considered the same.

Like me, you've probable seen the trend that is currently sweeping social media within the beauty community and have injector nurses and doctors scratching our heads. What is this Hyaluron pen? And why is it being offered to do dermal filler injections? Is it safer? What's the difference? Can I get the same result?

From my research and talking to fellow cosmetic nurses. It is legal for beauty and dermal therapists to operate the device as the manufacturers of the Hyaluron pen state that the

Layers of the skin

product only travels 0.5mm deep and sits in the same category as Mesotherapy as the product or serum, in this case is dispersed into the epidermis and the upper dermis ONLY.

If I were to put it simply, its as if we were placing very superficial plumping serum into the very top layer of the skin that will eventually disperse and hydrate. I'm not here to talk badly about a treatment that I personally, have nothing to do with - but what I can do is educate you so you have an informed decision when it comes to choosing what treatment is best for you. And ensure that you are going to an experience and qualified practitioner when doing so. Hope this has helped shed some light on the confusion that is Hyaluron Pen and Dermal filler difference!
