How Microneedling Works

As we age, the skin’s natural renewal cycle slows, resulting in decreased collagen and elastin production. This slowdown can lead to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. While traditional creams and serums hydrate the surface, they often fail to penetrate deeper layers where skin renewal occurs. The epidermis, the outermost skin layer, acts as a barrier, preventing large molecules from reaching the living skin cells below.

Microneedling with Dr. Pen creates numerous “micro-channels” or tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. This process promotes the development of smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Enhancing Serum Effectiveness

Microneedling significantly enhances the absorption of serums and active ingredients, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. This deeper penetration maximizes the effectiveness of your skincare products, ensuring you get the most out of your treatments.

Depth and Speed Settings

Adjusting the depth setting of your Dr. Pen device is crucial for targeting different skin areas effectively. For instance, the delicate skin around the eyes requires a shallower depth compared to the thicker skin on the cheeks. Confidence and experience play a key role in determining the appropriate depth, with deeper settings typically reserved for professional use. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional. Please note that our guidelines are meant to complement, not replace, professional medical advice.

Most Dr. Pen devices offer adjustable speed settings ranging from 1 to 5. Higher speeds allow for deeper needle penetration. Beginners should start with lower speeds, especially for sensitive areas like the face. Higher speeds can be employed for treating body areas such as scars or stretch marks to achieve more intensive results.

Important: Always use a new, sterile cartridge for each treatment session to ensure safety and efficacy.

Choosing the Right Cartridge

• 12, 18 & 24 Pin Cartridges: Ideal for addressing concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. They also promote collagen induction. Depending on your comfort level and treatment depth, numbing cream may be used for added comfort. Suitable for both professional and home use.
• 36 & 42 Pin Cartridges: Best for improving skin hydration, reducing the appearance of stretch marks, and minimizing large pores. These cartridges are designed for larger surface areas. Numbing cream can be applied based on the user’s experience and depth setting.
• Nano S & Nano R Cartridges: Perfect for BB Glow treatments, skin tone enhancement, and fine line reduction. Nano needling is also effective for boosting product absorption and may even stimulate brow hair regrowth. These gentle cartridges penetrate only the epidermis, allowing for more frequent use and typically eliminating the need for numbing cream, making them ideal for at-home treatments.

Skin Preparation and Aftercare

Before starting a microneedling session, ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried. Post-treatment, protect your skin by avoiding prolonged sun exposure and applying sunscreen regularly. It’s also advisable to refrain from swimming or activities that may expose your skin to bacteria or irritation for at least 24 hours after treatment.
