Needle Depth Guide

The adjustable needle depth feature in Dr. Pen microneedling products allows for customized treatments tailored to individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Here's a guide to help you understand the recommended needle depth settings for different skin concerns:

1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles:

• Needle Depth: 0.25mm - 0.5mm
• Description: For targeting fine lines and wrinkles, use a shorter needle depth setting. This range is suitable for promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, resulting in a smoother appearance.

2. Uneven Skin Texture and Tone:

• Needle Depth: 0.5mm - 1.0mm
• Description: To address uneven skin texture, such as roughness or visible pores, and improve skin tone, opt for a slightly longer needle depth setting. This range helps stimulate collagen synthesis and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.

3. Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation:

• Needle Depth: 1.0mm - 1.5mm
• Description: For more pronounced skin concerns like acne scars or hyperpigmentation, a moderate needle depth setting is recommended. This range allows for deeper penetration to stimulate collagen remodeling and aid in scar reduction and evening out skin tone.

4. Skin Rejuvenation and Firmness:

• Needle Depth: 0.5mm - 1.5mm
• Description: To promote overall skin rejuvenation, improve skin firmness, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and sagging, a medium needle depth setting is appropriate. This range targets the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.

5. Hair Growth Stimulation:

• Needle Depth: 1.0mm - 1.5mm
• Description: When using microneedling for hair growth stimulation on the scalp, slightly longer needle depth settings are typically recommended. This range allows for deeper penetration to stimulate blood circulation and encourage hair follicle activity.

Note: The above needle depth recommendations are general guidelines. Always consider your skin's sensitivity, individual tolerability, and consult with a skincare professional or dermatologist for personalized advice tailored to your specific needs.

It's important to start with shorter needle depths and gradually increase as your skin becomes accustomed to the treatment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for recommended treatment intervals and duration to ensure safe and effective microneedling sessions.

Remember to clean and sterilize the needle cartridge before each use, and always handle the device with clean hands. Proper aftercare, including the use of recommended post-treatment products, sun protection, and adherence to skincare routines, can maximize the benefits of microneedling treatments.
