What is DERMOELECTROPORATION®?
DermoElectroPoration®, commonly abbreviated DEP, is the only FDA Class II cleared medical device designed to deliver both low and high molecular weight compounds into the dermis without needles. DEP uses controlled electrical pulses to generate temporary micro-channels in the skin’s dermal layer, enabling consistent, precise, and uniform infusion of water-soluble formulations to a depth of 3.0–5.0mm.
Because it requires no needles, DEP treatments involve no pain and no downtime, and the device is safe for use across all Fitzpatrick skin types. It is used by medical professionals for three primary applications: skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and recovery support after invasive procedures.
What does DEP stand for in aesthetics?
DEP stands for DermoElectroPoration, an FDA Class II cleared method of infusing compounds into the skin’s dermis using electrical pulses instead of needles.
Is Dermoelectroporation® FDA approved?
Yes. DermoElectroPoration (DEP) holds FDA Class II clearance as a non-invasive method for infusing high-molecular-weight formulations into the dermis.
What can DEP be used for?
DEP is used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and post-invasive treatment recovery, delivering products like PDRN, exosomes, neurotoxins, and dermal fillers without needles.
