How Does Microneedling Work?

As we age, the natural cycle of skin regeneration slows, and the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity—begins to decline. This leads to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots (hyperpigmentation).

While topical creams and serums may provide moisture to the outer layer of dead skin, they struggle to penetrate deeper layers where skin repair takes place due to the protective nature of the epidermis. The active ingredients in these products are often too large to reach the living tissue beneath.

Dr. Pen microneedling devices create tiny “micro-channels” in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, promoting smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Further Guidance

Microneedling also allows for deeper absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness. The tiny punctures created by the microneedles act as pathways for serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply, leading to improved results compared to traditional application methods.

When using your Dr. Pen device, it’s important to adjust the needle depth based on the area you’re treating. For example, the skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the cheeks, so a lower depth setting should be used. If you are new to microneedling or treating sensitive areas, start with lower depths and speeds, and always consult a dermatologist or trained professional if you’re unsure.

Most Dr. Pen devices feature adjustable speed settings, typically ranging from 1 to 5. Higher speeds generally result in deeper needle penetration, making them suitable for body areas or scar treatment. For facial treatments, lower speeds allow for better control and precision. Beginners should stick to lower speeds until they become more comfortable with the device.

Note: Each cartridge is designed for single-use only to ensure hygiene and safety.

Which Cartridge to Choose?

• 12, 18 & 24 Pin Cartridges: Ideal for addressing acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and promoting collagen induction. Users may choose to apply a numbing cream before treatment, especially at deeper settings or for professional-level treatments.
• 36 & 42 Pin Cartridges: Best suited for hydrating the skin, reducing the appearance of large pores, and treating stretch marks or larger skin areas. Like the lower-pin cartridges, numbing cream is optional based on user experience and treatment intensity.
• Nano S & R Cartridges: Designed to work within the epidermis, these cartridges are ideal for treatments like BB Glow and improving skin tone. They also address fine lines and enhance product absorption, and can even stimulate brow hair regrowth. Nano cartridges are gentle enough for more frequent use and typically don’t require numbing cream, making them perfect for at-home treatments.

Skin Preparation and Aftercare

Before beginning your microneedling session, ensure that your skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried.

To support proper healing and maximize results:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for extended periods.
• Apply sunscreen (SPF) daily.
• Keep the skin moisturized, but avoid using products containing retinoids, vitamin C, or strong acids for at least 5 days after treatment.
• Refrain from swimming, using saunas, or engaging in intense physical activities for 24 hours post-treatment.

By following these guidelines, you’ll help protect your skin and ensure the best possible outcomes from your microneedling sessions.
