What is Microneedle Therapy?
Micro-needling therapy, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or ECIT, is a cosmetic treatment approved by the FDA in the US. It’s used to improve skin texture and tone by treating facial fine lines and acne scars.
During the treatment, a micro-needling pen is used to create controlled tiny injuries on the skin. Then, nutrients are injected to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps in skin repair and improves wrinkles. The pen’s tiny injuries also seem to open channels on the skin, allowing skincare products to penetrate better.
Dr. Pen’s micro-needling therapy is a recent advancement that penetrates the skin vertically, creating millions of tiny channels faster than other devices. These channels allow up to 80% of nutrients to penetrate deeper into the skin, triggering the skin’s natural repair process to produce more collagen and elastin.
Dr. Pen works well in repairing, renewing, and improving the overall skin condition in various areas like the eyes, face, nose, neck, shoulders, and legs. It’s effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, loose skin, stretch marks, pigmentation issues, and large pores.
Dr. Pen Auto Microneedle System
Dr. Pen’s microneedle system targets the Mesoderm, sandwiched between the Epidermis and Dermis, using miniature needles.
This kickstarts the skin’s healing, regenerating collagen and fibroblast cells in the deeper layer while activating collagen and elastin production.
Micro-needling therapy triggers the body’s natural healing response, producing collagen and elastin proteins. This rejuvenates the skin’s surface, enhancing texture in delicate areas like the eyes, eyelids, and neck, as well as larger areas such as shoulders and legs. Dr. Pen effectively addresses concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, loose skin, stretch marks, pigmentation issues, and large pores.
Dr. Pen Vs. Other Microneedles
Materials commonly used to make microneedles include metals, silicon, silicon dioxide, and biodegradable polymers. Each material has its own characteristics suitable for different applications.
Metal microneedles, commonly crafted from stainless steel, titanium, or nickel, are cost-effective and easily mass-produced due to their simple manufacturing processes. These needles are sharp, durable, and resistant to breakage when penetrating the skin, ensuring safety. Manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting, etching, electroplating, and ultra-precision machining are utilized.
Silicon and silicon dioxide are popular for microneedles due to their sensing and electromechanical properties. However, they are costlier than metal microneedles, prone to breakage and skin retention, limiting their use. Fine silicon microneedles can reduce discomfort, but their protein-absorbing surfaces may cause stress reactions, necessitating surface modifications for better biocompatibility. Moreover, silicon microneedles are hard yet brittle.
Biodegradable polymer microneedles offer improved safety in microneedle development with good biocompatibility and lower costs. However, they have lower strength compared to metal and silicon microneedles, and may deform when penetrating the skin, necessitating advancements in manufacturing and processing.
1. Roller Micro-needle
Consisting of a handle and a roller, when the roller rolls on the skin, micro-needles can form micropores or stimulate skin cells to initiate damage repair and regeneration effects, while also introducing effective drugs or active ingredients into the skin tissue.
2. Stamp Micro-needle
Consisting of a handle and a square/circular stamp head, micro-needles are embedded on the stamp and act vertically on the skin, typically used for local scar treatment.
3. Electric Micro-needle
This type includes a pen-shaped main body and vibrating stamp micro-needle head. Through mechanical driving, the micro-needle at the head can vibrate repeatedly, eliminating the uneven force on the skin when using micro-needles.
4. Radiofrequency Micro-needle
By introducing radiofrequency energy into the subcutaneous tissue through micro-needles, it causes thermal stimulation or damage to the targeted tissues for treatments like scars, hyperhidrosis, skin tightening, facial rejuvenation, etc., with non-therapeutic segments insulated to prevent radiofrequency-induced epidermal damage.
5. Nano Micro-needle
Micro-needles developed using nanolithography techniques, with minimal puncture pain and tissue trauma, while providing precise and controllable stable liquid channels for drug delivery and fluid collection.
6. DermaFrac Micro-needle
It is a novel micro-needle device combining microdermabrasion, micro-needling, simultaneous deep tissue serum injection, and LED light therapy, used for treating conditions like sunburned skin, acne, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines, superficial scars, etc.
Why Choose Dr. Pen Microneedling ?
1. Deep Penetration
By penetrating through ultra-small openings (< 0.2mm), it bypasses the epidermal barrier, delivering active ingredients where traditional skincare can't reach. This boosts ingredient permeation, outperforming regular topical products without leaving surface marks, ensuring skin integrity and effectiveness.
2. Cellular Metabolism Boost
It triggers skin self-healing, stimulates cell proliferation, and promotes collagen growth, enhancing elasticity, reducing wrinkles, brightening, and combating aging.
3. Versatile Application
Suitable for facial, hand, neck, and other areas.
4. Precision Delivery
With tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of micropores, it accurately injects medication into optimal absorption spots, offering thorough nourishment from within.
5. Immunity Enhancement
Slows down skin aging by boosting cellular immunity.
6. Toxin Removal
Clears deep skin toxins and metabolic waste.
7. Easy Operation
Convenient and swift, often dubbed "lunchtime beauty.
Dr. Pen Microneedling Serum
The difference between Dr. Pen serum and traditional serum lies in the incorporation of microneedle therapy, which allows for better penetration into the deeper layers of the skin.
The Dr. Pen serum typically come in various formulations suitable for different skin types and issues.
However, before using this products, it's important to understand your skin type and issues, choose the right products for yourself, and follow the correct usage methods.
What Criteria Should Serum Meet?
Superb absorbability
The higher the concentration of active ingredients in skincare products, the faster the penetration speed, leading to higher absorption of effective ingredients by the skin.
Pure ingredients & skin-friendly
Micro-needles enhance skin absorption but can also carry substances deeper, potentially causing allergic reactions or irritations. Specialized micro-needle essences are usually single-use for safety and hygiene, minimizing contamination risks.
Small bottle design & safety & hygiene
Generally, specialized micro-needle essences are designed for one-time use to prevent contamination during use and storage, ensuring safety.

FAQs
Will there be a lot of blood during the procedure?
Typically not. Slight bleeding might occur with needles of 1.0mm or longer, which is a normal phenomenon and does not cause permanent damage.
Can the microneedle treatment cause a skin infection?
No, as it is recommended for single-person use only.
Who is not suitable for microneedle treatment?
Those with allergies, eczema, herpes, severe acne, or inflammation, as well as individuals with immune diseases like diabetes.
What skincare products complement the treatment for optimal skin effects?
Within three days, the skin’s microchannels open, enhancing product penetration. Therefore, products with significant growth factors and high-efficiency moisturizers are recommended.
How long can one microneedle pen be used?
The microneedle heads are for single-use only and should not be reused.
What precautions are there before and after microneedle treatment?
Before the treatment, avoid sun exposure, exfoliation, or any acid peel treatment. After the treatment, avoid sun exposure and activities like saunas and steam rooms within ten days. Avoid using makeup containing acid components. Using products with significant growth factors and high-efficiency moisturizers is recommended.
