This is my first micro-needling pen and I must admit, I was nervous to use it. I had previously used derma stamps, including one from doctor pen and was ready to take the next step. I did a lot of research and this brand is the one that came up the most and was highly lauded. I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials on using micro-needling to get familiar with it. In the end it wasn't that bad! It's certainly not a pleasant sensation but doesn't hurt too bad. My skin is sensitive and got red of course but calmed down after I put some soothing serum on it. I'm still only using it once a week but will work my way up more when I feel more confident.

I like that this pen is adjustable so the more I get used to it the more deeper penetration I can get without having to buy a new pen or specific cartridges in order to do so. The pen is easy to hold, feels like quality and was easy to use. I do wish it came with more cartridges though this is probably standard. I'd recommend it for beginners like me.

I had my face professionally microneedled a few years ago and had ok results but I couldn't afford to keep going back. I'm 60 now and life, hormones, and gravity are catching up with me. I never needed to do much to my skin until about 5 years ago but now I'm having a few skin issues (Rosecea, Adult Acne) as well as the expected wrinkles and some pores have enlarged in the last few years. So I'm starting to do more to help my skin...better late than never!

I've watched a ton of videos and while I was a little nervous I jumped in and gave it a go. I don't think I did too bad for a first attempt. Certainly doing the .75 depth isn't a walk in the park but I think it will work over time once I figure out what works best for my skin. Tried nano needling at .25 about 5 days later and that went well. Of course it will take 6 months of this to see what is permanent and what may be due to edema so we will see. I'll try to come back and update.

The pen is easy to use. The one-time-use cartridges snap on solidly (I hear some brands have issues with them coming off during use). It's easy to set the depth and speed. One charge should do at least 4 or 5 treatments.

All in all very happy I got this. I may not be able to stop the ravages of life but I can slow them down and have healthier skin at the same time! Since I've started my new regime I've had a lot fewer acne breakouts. That right there is a win!

Dr. Pen is the Gold Standard when it comes to microneedling your skin. A very good and trusted skincare product. As long as you keep it clean and use it as directed, you will be fine. It's safe and well made. You can feel the weightiness in your hand when you pick this up. Both speeds and intensity can be adjusted. Use with your favorite skincare products for a much deeper application. Plus the needling itself will help with circulation and exercise the skin to make it a bit firmer.

Just make sure that you click on the coupon on the product page or you will be overpaying. (Based on today's price and offers.)

This is a great microneedling derma pen. It has a solid build and quality feel to it. It is comfortable to hold and easy to use. The adjustment barrel has a gradual, tactile feel to it, and a stepless depth range from 0 to 2.5 mm. The 6 speed settings are handy for finetuning on different parts of the face.

The derma pen runs smoothly and quietly. It uses a bayonet mount system for the microneedle cartridges. It comes with three 12-pin and three 36-pin cartridges. They are well-made and factory sealed in individual sterile packages. It also comes with a plastic organizer case, USB charging cable and power adapter.

Overall, I'm pleased with this derma pen. It is solidly built and easy to use. It comes with 6 cartridges to get you started. You may want to do some research on the appropriate needle depth for different parts of the face and the types of treatment you desire. A numbing cream may also be helpful. Anyway, this works great for me. High adjustability and precision. Good product.

I have been researching micro-needling for some time and was so excited when this Dr. Pen Ultima M8 Microneedling Pen Professional Kit crossed my path. It was the exact one I wanted! It is a well-known brand and they have some short videos on YT showing how to use it. I have always used a Derma roller on my face, but started to feel that it was too aggressive quite a while back, so I stopped.
This Dr. Pen Ultima M8 kit comes well packaged, with all of the needle cartridges individually wrapped and sanitary. This brand has been around a very long time and there is much to be learned from them. They have a great website, a number to call to speak with someone if you have any questions or concerns.
It comes with a small instruction manual with the basic information and important information on needle depths and speeds for most needs. I found videos helped fill in the gaps, and gave me a feel of what to expect by seeing and hearing others' experiences. Dr Pen has a great YT channel, but  I've learned a lot from watching PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE on YT, as well.
I started with a fairly low setting for my first try, and it went well. To me, it is much easier and less painful than dermarolling. You have much more control, as the machine really does all of the work very quickly. I did not overdo it, just to see how my skin reacts over the next several days. I used a fairly simple hyaluronic acid serum while micro-needling, waited an hour, rinsed my face very well with just water, and reapplied the serum. I did not put anything else on my face for 24 hours. I had some redness and a bit of heat, but nothing like with Derma rolling. It was pretty much gone by the next day.
I really like this micro-needling pen! It's very easy to use, it comes with most everything you need, and it would make a perfect gift for someone seeking their very first one. I would absolutely recommend it!

I watched videos for a couple weeks on how to use this since there weren’t instructions included before I took the leap. I went over my whole face with a needle length of .5 to begin with and at 4 for the speed. I then went back over my problem areas with the needle length at .75 and a speed of 5. I was really into the moment so I went back over one more time with the needle at 1 and the fastest speed of 6. I definitely recommend the fastest speed. My face was red for about 24 hours. Swollen for about 48. After about 3 days I got to see my glorious results. My pores look tighter, my sebaceous hyperplasia isn’t as pronounced. It definitely made my skin look better. I’m sold. I can only imagine how good my skin will look after continuous use.

I have tried a number of micro-needling devices and in my opinion the Dr. Pen M8 is one of if not the best.

It’s very easy to use and the controls allow you to adjust the speed etc. This kit comes with several needles cartridges. The lower the number the more intense the procedure. So lower number needles are better for scarring and other skin issues. That said, I would suggest watching videos and reading literature on how to do it and going slow when starting micro-needling as the kit does not come with detailed instructions.

There are marked variations on price on this unit depending on where you buy it, so it’s a good idea to comparison shop. The Dr. Pen M8 is not cheap, but if you have good results from it, it’s well worth it.

Absolutely love everything about it. It does an amazing job, high quality needles, holds a charge for a looooong time, and much smaller than most other pens that tend to be a bit bulky for my hand. Hopefully this lasts forever cause it's a lifesaver

First time using a needling pen, was easy to use! So far so good. I’m just glad I don’t have to walk out of a clinic all red ever again! Do recommend ensuring your skin is sanitized before and using gloves during treatment, less is more, don't feel like you need to go straight to 2.5mm for results. If you haven't needled before definitely look up some tutorials these are professional pens and need to be used as so. I did not use numbing cream and did not experience any unbearable pain and only very mild discomfort.

But it appears to be a good pen. Pretty straight forward, I chose this pen because the needle length is adjustable on the pen instead of having to buy different length cartridges.

I used it for the first time anD **** THAT **** HURTS. Its tolerable, but it does sting for a few days after.

[Update] I learned that applying a hyaluronic acid sheet mask immediately after needling for at least 15 minutes will significantly reduce the recovery time before your skin feels more normal and less red. I can vouch for that.
