How Does Microneedling Work?
As we grow older, the cycle of new skin growth slows and less collagen and elastin are produced. This results in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots (pigmentation).
Applying creams and serums on your face may succeed to moisturise the outer layer of dead skin, but no penetration takes place to the living part of the skin. The active molecules are simply too big to pass through the ultra protective epidermis layer.
Biopen creates “micro-channels” These are tiny punctures in the skin causing micro trauma, the body then creates a healing response promoting new collagen and elastin growth.
Why Is The Bio Pen Q2 Different?
The Biopen allows the user to incorporate, microneedling, EMS and LED light therapy treatments in this one outstanding system.
- EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) which uses pain-free micro-currents to stimulate collagen & elastin production. This process lifts and sculpts the face with face-lift-style results.
- LED Light Therapy offers 2 different settings – Red & Blue light can treat various skin conditions and concerns, such as acne, fine lines, reducing inflammation and psoriasis
Which Cartridge?
9 Pin – Ideal for targeted treatment, concerns like fine lines/wrinkles or old acne scaring in small areas on the face.
14 Pin – Great for hair and scalp rejuvenation due to the double row layout of the 14 pins.
25 Pin – Suitable for treating larger areas, like the whole face to enhance overall skin appearance.
Nano Pin- Create glowing skin and improve product absorption and skin moisture levels with this cartridge
Further Guidance
Microneedling allows deeper penetration of serums and ingredients resulting in higher efficacy, meaning you get more out of your serums than traditional application.
The depth setting used should be tailored to the area you are treating. As an example skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than that of the cheek, therefore you should use a lower depth setting around the eyes. It also comes down to experience of use and confidence. Higher depth settings should only be used by professionals, if you are unsure consult with a dermatologist or doctor. Our guides and site content are not intended to substitute the advice of a trained physician or licenced health care professional.
Most Dr Pen microneedling pens have a speed range of 1-5.
As a general rule, the faster you set the speed on your microneedling pen, the deeper the needle will penetrate into your skin. Lowest speeds are recommended if you are a beginner. If using the pen on sensitive areas such as the face, lower speeds can help you achieve more precise control of the pen.
When working on the body such as scaring or stretch marks a higher speed works well, this can be built up gradually.
