MIXED CARTRIDGE PACK INCLUDES:
1 Nano-R, 1 x 9 PIn, 1 x 14 PIn, 1 x 25 Pin.
There are different pin configurations, which one should I choose?
We supply 4 different disposable cartridge sizes to suit various skin concerns.
The smaller number of pins in a cartridge allow for precise treatment and deeper penetration. With more needles, the skin experiences less trauma per needle, making it suitable for mild to moderate treatments with quicker recovery.
Less pins equates to more precision... More pins equates to more coverage and faster recovery
Nano-R (Round Head):
Great option for boosting skin health and enhancing serums with zero downtime.
Safe for frequent use, nano needles do not create micro injuries to the skin so can be used 2–3 times per week making it ideal for ongoing maintenance rather than collagen induction.
9 needles/pins:
Best for small areas like under the eyes, around the lips, and localised scars where precision is needed. Useful for fine lines, detail work and small areas.
14 needles/pins:
Best for fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin texture improvement by promoting collagen production. The 14 pin cartridge is the most popular for facial rejuvenation.
25 needles/pins:
Works well on the face, neck, decolletage and even areas such as the scalp or stretch marks on the body.
The 25 pin offers a balance between precision and coverage. A great middle ground option offering both depth and efficiency for those looking to treat textural concerns and skin tightening.
Works well for treating larger areas like the full face, neck and décolletage due to the greater number of needles, allowing for faster treatments with even coverage.
The higher pin count feels gentler, making it feel comfortable for large area work.
Lower pin counts (9, 14) = more intense & precise.
Higher pin counts (25) = more coverage & comfort.
Nano = gentle and surface level.
What is Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro injuries by causing trauma to the skin, therefore stimulating the body’s natural healing process which increases collagen and elastin production.
The Main Benefits Include:
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Reduces roughness and unevenness.
Enhances overall skin brightness and clarity.
Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production
Stimulates natural collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Reduces signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Minimises Acne Scars and Other Scarring
Helps smooth acne scars, surgical scars, and other irregularities by breaking down scar tissue and promoting skin regeneration.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
Evens out skin tone by reducing melanin build up, including dark spots and melasma.
Shrinks Enlarged Pores
Tightens and refines pore size by boosting skin elasticity.
Enhances Product Absorption
Increases skin permeability, allowing serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
Treats Stretch Marks
Improves the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating tissue remodelling.
Non Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Provides professional results with minimal recovery time compared to laser or surgical treatments.
Customisable For Various Skin Concerns
Needle depth and speed can be adjusted to target specific issues like fine lines or deeper scars.
By incorporating the Dr. Pen microneedling treatment into a routine (every 4-6 weeks), users can see noticeable improvements in their skin’s overall health and appearance. However, it's essential to follow our before & after care protocol to maximise results and prevent complications.
What is Nanoneedling
Unlike Microneedling, nanoneedling does not puncture the skin so there’s no redness or downtime.
Perfect for delicate areas that might be too sensitive for standard microneedling, such as under the eyes and lips to plump and rejuvenate. Nano needles also encourage deeper absorption of your favourite serums and skin creams.
Safe for frequent use, nano needles do not create micro injuries to the skin so can be used 2–3 times per week. making it ideal for ongoing maintenance rather than collagen induction.
Nano needles do not reach the dermis, so will not stimulate significant collagen production or improve deep scars and wrinkles.
Microneedling V Nanoneedling
Both work differently based on needle depth, skin penetration and results.
Nano needles do not penetrate the dermis. Instead, they create microscopic channels that allow serums to absorb deeper.
Downtime: None.
Treatment Frequency: 2–3 times per week (safe for frequent use).
Microneedling creates micro injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response.
Downtime: 1-3 days (redness, possible peeling).
Treatment Frequency: Every 4–6 weeks (depending on skin type).
Which One Should You Choose?
Microneedling - For anti ageing, acne scars and deeper skin concerns.
Nanoneedling - For glowing skin, hydration and enhancing skincare absorption.
Which Microneedling Cartridge is Best for Hair Growth
For hair growth, the best Dr. Pen cartridge is the 25-pin cartridge. This cartridge creates microscopic channels in the scalp to stimulate collagen production and increase absorption of hair growth serums.
The 25 pin cartridge allows for more surface coverage and penetration than smaller cartridges. However, it's important to follow usage instructions carefully as overuse can lead to scalp irritation.
