Pros and cons: best used as a stamp.

I debated giving this 3 stars because of its big flaw. I have another derma-needling device (made in Czechoslovakia) that has the pen attached to the motor via a cord that fully retracts the needles. That one I am comfortable with doing the swiping motions. I do like that this one goes to 2.5 depth. My other goes to 1.75mm depth only. I got this one because it was on vine and all of these devices are expensive. My other device that I paid full price for now has a 2.5 needle depth but that one is $200.00.
Derma-needling is really great for collagen induction and I long ago gave up the derma rollers. Those hurt a lot more and typically take longer than a really good dermapen. This pen might take longer than my older device though because I don’t feel comfortable sliding it over my skin.
Let’s start with the pros:
Rechargeable battery
Cordless or wires operation
Light
Easy to hold
I actually like the twist for depth needle depth selection
Multiple speeds
If you use it as a stamp you might be able to get away with less or no serum for the “slip”. Can just put serum on afterwards.
Cons:
The big one: needles don’t fully retract so better to use this as a stamp turning it on and off again.
It also seemed like it wasn’t a full up and down motion each time (you know, like a jack hammer) but more of a vibrate up and down a little and then up and down a bit more. See my slowed down video with needles set at 2.5mm and speed 1.
