The stitches used for Dermapen microneedling are often dissolvable, so they do not need to be removed. However, if the provider uses any sutures during the procedure, you will need to follow your provider’s instructions for removal and follow-up care. In most cases, the provider can safely remove sutures 2-3 weeks after the treatment session. Depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the procedure, your Dermapen provider may recommend a different time frame for removing sutures—you should discuss this with your provider to encourage proper healing and prevent infection.
