60 Seconds with Dr Sophie Herbert, Ambassador of Dermalogica Pro Pen

What are the top skin concerns you see within your clinical practice?

Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, congested pores and uneven skin texture are some of the most common issues. Most patients desire natural-looking results and a radiant comblexion. and I am dedicated to delivering the outcomes they envision

How do you ensure safe practice?

At my clinic, I believe in taking a holistic approach to skin, addressing both the external and internal factors that impact skin health.

Understanding that each patient is unique, I begin with a comprehensive consultation to gain insight into their lifestyle, diet and skincare habits. To ensure safe practice during the Pro Pen procedure, I adopt a progressive approach. I gradually adjust the depth of microneedling, ensuring optimal results without compromising patient comfort, using topical local anaesthetics if necessary. Skin priming before treatment prepares the skin and enhances the absorption of active ingredients including Dermalogica's Pro Restore, maximising the effectiveness of the treatment. Post-care is equally important, and I provide guidance on using Dermalogica's Pro Restore, an excellent aftercare solution that promotes skin healing and recovery.

What results have you been able to provide for your patients using Pro Pen?

With Dermalogica's Pro Pen, I have achieved exceptional results for my patients. Many have experienced significant improvements in skin texture, reduction in the appearance of scars and a revitalised, radiant complexion. Pro Pen's ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production allows for natural skin rejuvenation, empowering my patients with newfound confidence.
