invaginates in the dermis

your text is looking real technical, so might as well use the technical terms in English, although (not being a medical translator) I have never seen the word invaginate in my life. However, if you search invaginate and hair there are many technical texts that use these terms

Again, not my area, but from what I can see the technical terms fit.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : that sounds great for a marketing text, not.

inpouching into the dermis

"Invaginate" or "invagination" is the technical term, but may not be understood by a lay audience. A more general term is "inpouching". I have a feeling, though, that the verb – cells or a plaque "pouching in" – is not really common, hence, you might have to reconstruct your sentence if you wish to use this option.
