Over the past couple years, I've found that I really love microneedling, especially along my face. Having a good bit of age on me, my face shows some of those lines we all get with age. Though I do moisturize and treat my skin with various skincare products, microneedling really helps to make sure that I'm being treated on a much deeper level. Dr. Pen's microneedling pen takes that treatment to a much deeper level than I'd ever imagined.

This pen reminds me a bit of one of those pens that diabetics use when they test their glucose levels, except that this one is much more high end. It has a metal casing and is somewhat weighted. Feels very comfortable in the hand when using. Very easy to attach the needle end. The needle has a cap to keep the area clean between uses. There's also a needle length adjustment nob around the barrel towards the top. It's ridged for better gripping. There are fractional numbers for various lengths. You align your selection with an arrow next to the ringed nob.

I do wish though that the numbers were larger and bolder because I do find them very difficult to read, especially not having anymore the great eyesight that I had in my youth. In fact, I didn't even see them at first until I looked really hard under some bright lights. Hopefully, they will improve the readability with future models.

Make sure that you first prepare your skin with some sort of serum or moisturizer before using. You'll need that. Also, I very highly suggest that when you use this for the first time that you set the pin length to the shortest possible selection. This particular pen in pretty intense and goes deeper than others that I've tried. If you find that it's too short for your needs, you can always increase its length. Facial skin especially should use a shorter length. Other body parts might benefit from a longer pin length. Again, work your way up. Then set your speed and you are ready to go.

Though I'm an experienced microneedler, I've found that this is the most intense microneedler that I've ever used. Not for the faint of heart. Usually I use this along my face with more concentrated use in various areas. It feels stimulating and can even have a little bit of what almost feels like a burning feeling, depending on your selected penetration. Also, after using, I still feel a bit of stinging for about an hour afterwards. In fact, the areas of my face where I've concentrated more intense use will be red. That will last for about an hour. That will go away, as well as that stinging feeling. It does help my skincare products to penetrate more deeply which ultimately provides me with a much better facial treatment.

A great product to use for anyone who is a serious microneedler and want a much more intense and deeper skincare treatment. Just make sure you study the instructions before use and work your way up very gently.
