Inventing the Benchmark: How Stene and Corri Marshall changed microneedling forever!
By Louise May
From humble beginnings to more than 25,000 clinics worldwide, Dermapen 4™ has become the global gold standard in microneedling. At the heart of this revolution are Stene and Corri Marshall, the Aussie couple whose vision and relentless pursuit of excellence have transformed professional skin procedures.
In this exclusive interview with Louise May, Editor of Mocha Beauty, they share the story behind their invention, the breakthroughs that set Dermapen 4™ apart, and what every clinic owner can learn from their journey.
What does it mean to see your Australian innovation recognised as the global benchmark?
Corri: Honestly, I’m so proud of all our hard work, and especially of Stene’s innovations with DermapenWorld™. To see our protocols and products embraced in over 100 countries is a testament to our amazing team.
Stene: It’s also a proud moment for Australian manufacturing. I hope our story inspires other Aussie innovators to think big and have a go at making a global impact.
What breakthrough technologies make Dermapen 4™ stand out?
Stene: It’s all about precision and power. Dermapen 4™ features a fully digital motor and mechanics, delivering extreme speed and strength for superior results. You can literally hear the difference. That hum is the sound of highperformance technology at work.
The device also uses a smart system to ensure the needles penetrate at the exact depth selected. With over six million Dermapen 4™ treatments performed globally, practitioners and patients can trust they’re using a device engineered for efficiency, comfort, and results.
How does Dermapen 4™ help ensure safe and hygienic procedures?
Stene: Our patented Anti-Contamination Management (ACM™) and AOVN™ Retention Valves ensure zero risk of cross-contamination. The inner section of the needle cartridge is completely covered with an expandable silicone layer, so no blood or fluids can enter the device or needle.
The AOVN™ Valves let the cartridge glide smoothly without drag or clogging. It’s the safest, most dependable microneedling device on the market.
What impact do these features have on patient experience and results?
Corri: Well, my claim to fame is being the first person in the world to have a Dermapen 4™ treatment. I cried… but from joy, not pain. I could not believe how good it was. My skin was less red and bloody, and we soon discovered that what used to take six treatments with Dermapen 3 could now be achieved in just two or three!
How has the dedicated scar treatment setting changed outcomes for clinics and patients?
Corri: Doctors joke with us, they wish they’d found Dermapen 4™ sooner, because it outperforms even their expensive lasers for scars. The results in our before-and-after photos and testimonials are amazing.
Stene: The Scar Treatment (ST) Mode is unique. It automatically calibrates to the correct speed and depth, and the digital drive motor punches through tough scar tissue with ease. It’s a gamechanger for all types of scars, including stretch marks.
How do you empower clinics to grow commercially with Dermapen 4™?
Corri: Education and support are so important. Since 2010, we’ve empowered clinics with step-by-step protocols, four books, comprehensive training, and marketing resources. Our “education first” approach, led by Dr Andrew R. Christie-Schwarz, has been key to our success. When clinics are supported, they deliver better results and grow their businesses.
How does Dermapen 4™ ensure clinics are always working with the latest technology?
Stene: Dermapen 4™ is constantly updated behind the scenes to stay accurate and reliable. In the past, users had to manually update the firmware, but now with our Dp DOCK™, it’s all automatic. Just plug it in and it syncs everything—no IT headaches.
How will Dermapenworld continue to set the global standard for microneedling?
Stene: We’re entering an exciting new chapter. We’re partnering with like-minded companies to help expand DermapenWorld— not just in microneedling, but across other gold-standard devices and protocols. Our goal is long-term growth, and we truly believe DermapenWorld is on track to become a billion-dollar brand.
Stene and Corri Marshall’s journey is proof that excellence, innovation, and a commitment to supporting others can change an industry. For clinic owners, Dermapen 4™ offers a blueprint for building a business around results, safety, and trust.
