All About Dr Pen Microneedling Pens

What is a Microneedling Pen?

Dr pen microneedling is a automated skin needle pen device designed for durability, safety, and more effective treatment. With a focus on patient results and renewing the skin. Dr Pen gives the ability to adjust to a precise needle depth dependant on treatment type and area. Dr pen is one of the best microneedling pens available on the market worldwide.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate new production of collagen and elastin, and improve the appearance of the skin by creating microscopic injuries that supercharge the skins self-healing capacity. Each Dr Pen microneedling pens, like Dr Pen A11 and other microneedling pens has a cartridge with tiny needles attached. When you turn on your beauty microneedling pen the needles will pulsate and glide along the skin. They penetrate the upper layers of the skin and create deliberate trauma and micro wounds. These wounds trigger a healing response by the body which responds by producing collagen and elastin fibres. Over several treatments with the microneedling pen skin becomes rejuvenated and fine lines and wrinkles disappear.

Who Can Use Dr Pen Microneedling Pens?

Dr Pen is a professional microneedling pen but it can also be used as a microneedling pen at home if used with the correct cartridges and depths. The level of discomfort from microneedling varies dependant on needle cartridge type, depth and if you choose to use a numbing solution before using Dr Pen. Some customers find applying a serum such as hyaluronic acid lubricates the skin alleviating some discomfort during dr pen microneedling.

How Often can I Use My Dr Pen Microneedling Device?

Microneedling can safely be performed every 3-6 weeks. For collagen induction you may require at least 3 treatments. Scar reduction generally requires between 3 and 6 treatments. Nano-needling can be performed once per week.

What is Nano Needling?

Nano-needling stimulates collagen production in the skin by safely infusing active ingredients from your serum through tiny nano-channels. This is very similar, but less invasive than microneedling and allows up to 97% product absorption. This treatment combats fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and other skin blemishes through the transdermal delivery system for increased effectiveness of serums. Unlike microneedling, nano-needling does not require any numbing cream and will painlessly smooth the skins texture to leave your skin glowing by triggering your body’s self-rejuvenation process. The recommended nanoneedling length is .25mm and you may perform this procedure with your Dr Pen device every week.

How Long Does Microneedling Take with Dr Pen?

Microneedling or skin needling, as it’s often referred to as, is not a lengthy treatment. This is thanks to the revolutionary invention of Dr Pen auto-microneedling pen devices , which saves you time and also helps to reduce your discomfort. If you elect to use numbing cream as part of your treatment, waiting for it to take effect is the part that takes the longest.

How Long Will It be Until I See Noticeable Results With Dr Pen Microneedling?

Instantly after your microneedling treatment, your skin is likely to be red and inflamed, but it’ll be plumped and dewy thanks to all of the good cells and platelets rushing to the surface. From days 7 to 14 and onwards, you’ll experience the full effect of the microneedling glow. This is the perfect amount of time for the skin to fully heal and send all of that extra collagen to the surface. Applying active ingredients and retinol shortly after microneedling is what everyone assumes will get them an even deeper, longer-lasting glow. In reality, applying actives and retinol too early into the healing process may damage the skin, and may inhibit the skin's natural healing abilities. Microneedling works best when you use hyaluronic acid only during the healing phase, this is an ingredient your body already naturally produces.

Will My Microneedling Results be Permanent?

Microneedling has many benefits, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it tackles hyperpigmentation and sun damage, it reduces scarring and stretch marks, it improves tone and texture, all while strengthening the skin. Like most cosmetic treatments, results will eventually fade away as your skin is a living, growing tissue. To maintain your results, maintenance microneedling treatments are required so you don’t lose all of the glowing skincare progress made. At Dr Pen UK we recommend using your microneedling pen for 7 to 8 treatments for all skin concerns, after this many treatments, it’s likely you’ll see significant improvement.

How to Maintain Your Microneedling Pen Results?

Once you’ve made progress addressing your skin concerns, you can look to perform your maintenance microneedling treatments less often. We suggest reducing the needle depth to maintain results, or microneedle every 8 to 12 weeks, instead of every 3 to 6 weeks. Another treatment you can do between microneedling is nano needling. Nano needling can be done weekly and is similar to microneedling, except instead of creating microchannels, it creates nanochannels. There’s no downtime, it induces collagen production and increases product absorption too.
