How Does Microneedling Work?

As we age, the natural skin renewal process slows down, leading to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. This results in the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. While topical creams and serums can moisturize the outer layer of dead skin, they often struggle to penetrate the deeper, living layers of the skin due to the protective barrier of the epidermis.

Dr. Pen’s microneedling technology creates “micro-channels” or tiny punctures in the skin, which induce micro-trauma. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which helps to rejuvenate and repair the skin.

Benefits of Microneedling:

• Enhanced Penetration: Microneedling allows for deeper penetration of serums and active ingredients, significantly increasing their effectiveness compared to traditional application methods.
• Custom Depth Settings: The depth of needle penetration should be adjusted based on the treatment area. For instance, the skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, so a lower depth setting is recommended. Higher depth settings should be used by professionals or those with advanced experience. If unsure, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Speed Settings:

• Most Dr. Pen microneedling pens offer a speed range from 1 to 5. Generally, higher speeds result in deeper penetration. Beginners should start with lower speeds for more precise control, particularly on sensitive areas. For larger body areas or more severe conditions like scars or stretch marks, higher speeds can be effective but should be gradually increased.

Cartridge Types and Uses:

• 12-Pin Cartridges: Ideal for improving the look of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, and for collagen induction. A numbing cream may be used depending on the depth and treatment context (professional vs. at-home).
• 36 & 42-Pin Cartridges: Best suited for enhancing skin hydration, reducing the appearance of stretch marks, and minimizing large pores. These higher-pin cartridges are suitable for larger areas. Similar to the 12-pin cartridges, numbing cream usage depends on individual needs and experience.
• Nano Cartridges: These remain in the epidermis, making them perfect for BB Glow treatments, improving skin tone, and addressing fine lines. They facilitate the absorption of skincare products and can promote brow hair regrowth. Nano cartridges can be used more frequently, making them ideal for at-home treatments without the need for numbing cream.

Skin Preparation and Aftercare:

• Before Treatment: Ensure the skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried.
• After Treatment: To promote proper healing, avoid prolonged sun exposure and apply SPF. It is also recommended to avoid swimming for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

Important Note: Always use cartridges only once to maintain hygiene and safety.
