Epidermis and papillary dermis/Sucutaneous tissue
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermis
The epidermis is composed of the outermost layers of cells in the skin,[1] "epi" in Greek meaning "over" or "upon", which together with the dermis forms the cutis.
he papillary dermis is the uppermost layer of the dermis. It intertwines with the rete ridges of the epidermis and is composed of fine and loosely arranged collagen fibers.[1]

For the medical grade level application of skin needling, the target of the needles and penetration is the upper dermis called the intermediate reticular dermis.
superficial and upper intermediate dermis
(Just do a Google search for "the superficial or papillary dermis" and "the reticular or deep dermis" and you will find many references to this.)
The deep or reticular dermis may be subdivided into 2 zones: the upper intermediate zone (or intermediate reticular dermis) and the deep(er) zone (or deep(er) reticular dermis).
In conclusion, for your translation then, I would say "superficial and upper intermediate dermis".
(The reticular dermis) Can be subdivided into the upper intermediate zone and deeper zone.
