How Microneedling Works

As we age, the skin’s natural renewal process slows down, leading to reduced collagen and elastin production. This results in visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.

• • Micro-Channels: The Dr. Pen creates tiny punctures in the skin (micro-channels), which trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
  • Enhanced Product Absorption: Microneedling allows serums and active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, increasing their efficacy. This means you get better results compared to traditional topical application.

Choosing the Right Cartridge

The Dr. Pen X5 offers different cartridge types, each suited for specific skin concerns:

1. 1. 12 Pin Cartridges:
      • Best For: Acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, melasma, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and collagen induction.
      • Usage: Suitable for both professional and at-home treatments. Numbing cream may be used depending on the depth and user’s comfort level.
   2. 36 & 42 Pin Cartridges:
      • Best For: Improving skin hydration, reducing the visibility of stretch marks, and minimizing large pores.
      • Usage: Ideal for treating larger areas. Numbing cream may be used based on user preference and experience.
   3. Nano Cartridges:
      • Best For: BB Glow treatments, improving skin tone, and combating fine lines. They also enhance product penetration and can encourage brow hair regrowth.
      • Usage: These cartridges stay in the epidermis (outer skin layer), making them safe for regular at-home use. No numbing cream is required.

Depth and Speed Settings

• • Depth: Adjust the needle depth based on the area being treated. For example:
    • Use lower depths for sensitive areas like around the eyes.
    • Higher depths can be used for body areas like scars or stretch marks, but these should only be handled by professionals.
  • Speed: The speed setting controls how deeply the needles penetrate the skin:
    • Lower speeds (1-2) are recommended for beginners and sensitive areas like the face.
    • Higher speeds (3-5) are suitable for larger body areas and more experienced users.

Skin Preparation and Aftercare

      • Use a numbing cream if needed, especially for deeper treatments.
   2. Aftercare:
      • Avoid prolonged sun exposure and always apply SPF to protect the skin.
      • Refrain from swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
      • Keep the skin hydrated and avoid using harsh products for a few days.
