How to Microneedle at Home with the Dr Pen M8

[@nadialolly-ej8rl]

When you get professional microneedling you can easily move the pen across the skin with a pure hyaluronic acid serum, you apply a liberal amount as needed repeatedly on the face while needling, the pen should always be perfectly perpendicular to the face or straight on if you will, you can cross hatch in sections or go in circular motions, there should be NO DRAGGING or pulling on the skin as this can really damage the skin! This is why microneedling with a hyaluronic serum is absolutely essential, as well, they don’t recommend you apply anything but consistent hyaluronic acid serum continuously for the next 24-48 hours, never letting that skin dry out and get raw. After 48 hours you can continue with gentle fragrance free skin care for the next week, do not use any active aha/bha or retinoids at least 3-5 days before microneedling and the same goes for afterwards, avoid exercising or physical exertion, strong sun contact, makeup, hot showers etc for the next 3-5 days after needling.
This video was not very helpful, I would advise anyone watching this can find a professional on RUclips to watch!
Your face will be raw and red after treatment- this is WHY the hyaluronic acid serum is absolutely essential for aftercare and during treatment, I found the best way to care for that is by popping your serum solution in the fridge and liberally applying every 1-2 hours afterwards like I mentioned for the first 48 hours.

Hello! That is absolutely correct. Always set needle depth to zero first before putting the cartridge in. If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via this link :) go.drpen.com.au/contact

Hello.
Is it possible to use M8 while charging? I mean one day the battery will be dead, can we still use it not on battery but plugged in?
Because if battery is nice, you must charge and many times you forget, so you have either to wait some hours or you plug your device and you use it.
Thank you. :)

Hi Zeka. It really doesn't matter, it's just what you find more comfortable :) I personally prefer level 2 or 3, but it's best if you play around with the speeds and decide which ones you think are more suitable for you :)

Numbing cream 🤔no no no just start off gently with hyloronic acid the last thing you want is the chemicals from the numbing cream going into you skin ..It’s better to feel it rather than not and totally over do your face.once you have treated your skin leave it for an hour for the acid to get into the skin and use a biolux led treatment machine and choose the Color that really helps with healing for kwiker healing . The trick is not to over do your very first treatment and learn what suits each of you as we are all diffrent..nice small circular motions suit me better up and down as I feel any small hairs get dragged when I’m pulling down. I suppose we’re all diffrent .

[@DrPenGlobal]

Hello. Yes 0.25mm for nano-needling. Nano-needling is designed to improve product absorption, it isn't meant to pierce your skin. When the cartridge is pressed onto your skin it will reach your skin comfortably. :)

[@rachelt4887]

Dr. Pen Thank you for the reply. However, the nano ‘needles’ come no where near the end of the plastic cartridge at 0.25.. not too sure if it’s a faulty cartridge.

[@deniseclevenstine1712]

@@rachelt4887 I have the same problem, I've found when doing nano or product needling which they say to use at .25 it won't ,...I put it up to 2.5 or there abouts, ....the first 3 months I used a 12 pin cartridge for deep penetration at 0,5 then I started to use a 36 pin cartridge, the difference was amazing, it's was so less painful in fact I could hardly feel anything and I had to higher it up to 1.0 and 1.5 around the cheek area, I thought at first I'd bought faulty cartridges because you were always told to only go up to .5 for deep penetration, it certainly is very confusing, at this time I use 36 needles @1.0 above my eyes and neck and 1.5 the more fleshy areas, I do the nano at 2.0- the max 2.5. .I've found that if you start at the lowest speed all over the face at those number above then repeat at the highest speed it works better.

Thanks for the video, and if anyone has any comparasion between the dr pen 8 and the “derminator 2” as I would like to not support the later.

[@PandaA-cv3mm]

Hi there. Sorry just reading this now. I have both. I find that the Dr. Pen is good for quickies or for lower depths for product penetration… also on temples and hairline for regrowth but the D2 I have had for a long time and it outshines this one by far. But I guess you get what you pay for. I have never had an issue with either company or either device. I just tend to do my deeper micro needling with the D2. I’m sure the M8 would be great as well. Hope this helps.

[@Teres1982]

Hi, how do you clean the cartridge? Just spray with isocol? Can we use the vitamin C serun you have on your website after micro needling? On the blog it says not to use vitamin C after micro needling but it is normally sell together?

[@DrPenGlobal]

No you can't use the vitamin C serum whilst needling. It isn't a good ingredient to microneedle with. Have a watch of last week's FAQ video here - ruclips.net/video/eDKCmSrxOYI/видео.html which talks about serums. We also wrote this blog last week - drpen.com.au/blogs/news/the-best-serums-to-use-with-microneedling
It's also a good idea to have a good read through the FAQ section on our website, as we answer most questions on there - support.drpen.com.au/support/home
The vitamin C serum is great for daily use. You can wear it morning or night after cleansing and before moisturising/sunscreen/makeup. We just don't advise you to actually needle with the vitamin C.
