How Does Microneedling Work?
As we age, the skin’s natural renewal process slows, and collagen and elastin production gradually declines. This can contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and a loss of firmness.
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These stimulate the skin’s natural repair response, encouraging collagen and elastin production to help improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines and certain types of scarring.
Further Microneedling Guidance
Choosing the Correct Needle Depth
The appropriate needle depth depends on the treatment area, skin sensitivity, cartridge type and experience level.
For beginners, we recommend starting at the lowest appropriate depth setting and following the manufacturer’s instructions. The skin around the eyes is particularly delicate, so traditional microneedling in this area is not recommended for home use.
Deeper treatments should only be carried out by suitably qualified professionals.
Understanding Speed Settings
Most Dr Pen devices offer multiple adjustable speed settings, allowing you to control how quickly the needles move.
Beginners may find lower speeds easier to control while becoming familiar with their device. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for your particular model.
Using Serums During Microneedling
Microneedling temporarily creates micro-channels in the skin, which may increase the absorption of certain skincare ingredients.
However, not all serums are suitable for use during treatment. Always choose products specifically intended for the treatment method and needle depth being used. Deeper procedures may require sterile formulations and professional guidance.
Hygiene and Cartridge Safety
Microneedling cartridges are single-use only and must never be reused or shared.
Always use a new, sterile, individually sealed cartridge for each treatment and dispose of it safely afterwards to minimise the risk of infection and cross-contamination.
Important: Microneedling carries risks, including irritation, infection and scarring. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and seek advice from a qualified skincare professional if you are unsure. This guidance is for general information and does not replace professional medical advice.

Which Microneedling Cartridge Should You Choose?
Choosing the right cartridge depends on your skincare goals, the area being treated and your level of experience. Dr Pen offers several cartridge options, each designed for different treatment needs.
9,12,16,18-Pin Cartridges
These cartridges are commonly used for treatments targeting the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven skin texture and enlarged pores.
They are often selected for more targeted microneedling treatments, with the appropriate needle depth depending on the treatment area and individual skin concerns.
Some professional treatments may involve a topical numbing cream, depending on the procedure and the practitioner’s guidance.
24,36 & 42-Pin Cartridges
Featuring a greater number of needles, these cartridges are popular for treating larger areas of the face,scalp and body.
They may be used in treatments aimed at improving the appearance of uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and stretch marks.
The higher pin count distributes contact across more needles, although the appropriate treatment settings will still depend on the area being treated and the user’s experience.
Nano S & Nano R Cartridges
Nano cartridges are designed for superficial cosmetic treatments and offer a gentler alternative to traditional needle cartridges.
They are commonly used to help improve the appearance of skin tone, texture and fine lines, while supporting the application of suitable skincare serums.
Nano cartridges are particularly popular for home cosmetic skincare routines, as they generally involve less discomfort and downtime than traditional microneedling.
Important: Always ensure your chosen cartridge is compatible with your Dr Pen device. Use a new, sterile cartridge for every treatment and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Deeper microneedling procedures should only be performed by suitably qualified professionals.
Skin Preparation and After Care
Make sure skin is cleansed and dried before treatment begins. To ensure the proper healing avoid the sun for prolonged periods of time and always apply SPF. It is also advisable to avoid swimming for the first 24 hours after treatment.
