Dr Pen has a bunch of different models of micro-needling pens- but truth be told, they all do the same thing. The features that the M8 (an “upgraded’ version of this model) has over this one, quite frankly are not worth the upgrade in price in my opinion. I own both for the record, so have time to amply compare. The main differences is that this one (N2) feels lighter (and that can be a good thing when doing larger areas of skin (which can be time consuming) and does not have an LED display. I suppose the M8 has a little more power (than this model)on higher speeds. But these pens are for home use (not sure why it says professional), and you really don’t need that kind of power for home use. Micro-needling is a game changer in terms of DIY skin care.

Look up Penn Smith Skincare on YouTube, she is a master esthetician that will show you how to micro-needle at home the safe and correct way. It’s easy and free to learn and you can learn the basics in under 30 min. Micro-needling (unless going deep) doesn’t even hurt in case you were wondering. I really dislike how the numbers are so small on the dial, so difficult to read on both pens, (that number is the depth, quite important). Careful when setting the dial that you are sure of what is reads.
