I've heard a lot about this Dr. Pen brand so I was looking forward to using it. I've tried derma rollers but they're slower and more painful. You would need different lengths for different areas of the face. For instance, the forehead skin is thinner or around the eyes is more delicate, so you need a shorter needle. It was also difficult to maneuver the rollers in tighter spots.

Using this pen, you get all different lengths with the twist of a dial, and different tip options depending on what you're trying to achieve. The 24 is for anti wrinkle, a way to get your moisturizers deeper and newbies, the 42 for more aggressive treatment of stretch marks, acne marks etc. I also like the speed options.

I don't have any issues pain wise but for those that do, you can pick up some numbing cream to make it more palatable. The Dr. Pen microneedling pen is easy to use and intuitive. Start lightly and build up over time if you want to get to the needles that go deeper. I'd suggest definitely watching some video tutorials to get familiar with microneedling before you begin. You're creating microdamage to the skin, so you don't wanna wing it! Overall I'm very happy with it!
