This is my second microneedling pen. I previously had gotten a knockoff brand that I was pretty pleased with, but wanted to try out a name-brand pen. I kept seeing Dr. Pen's name coming up on skin care forums so this pen was a reasonably priced option to try.
This pen is comfortable to hold which is a real plus for me. My other one is a bit bulkier in my hand, as well as heavier. It takes bayonet style microneedling cartridges which are readily available on Amazon. My generic needle cartridges also fit in this Dr. Pen device.
You can adjust the needle depth and speed on this device. This has a digital display for the speed which my other one does not so it's a lot easier to see. New users will want to start out with a shallow depth and lower speed and can later graduate to deeper and faster, especially for areas like the forehead. You need to make sure your face is washed, and it would be a good idea to go over your face lightly with alcohol to help make sure any surface bacteria on your skin is destroyed; you don't want the needles pushing gunk or bacteria into your skin. I then put hyaluronic acid on my face before microneedling to help get that serum in deeper to help hold moisture in my mature skin.
Do a bit of research on what will work best for you and I also recommend watching a youtube video on the use of the pen. You want to hold it lightly against your skin but don't press as well as keep it moving. On the light depth setting you won't feel much discomfort, but if you're especially sensitive you can also get a numbing gel to put on your face ahead of time.
I really like this pen as it's super comfortable for me to hold, but my off brand one performs just as well for a fraction of the price. Still, this is a nice name brand device that won't break the bank.

Dr. Pen Ultima M8 Professional Microneedling Dermapen, USB Rechargeable, 5pcs 24pin Cartridges Replacement Pack
This is a very nice derma microneedle pen. It has an outer plastic shell construction but appears to be sturdy and well made. It is easy to use and works great for microneedling treatment. It works so much better than the derma rollers that I have been using. Instead of using rollers with different pin length, you have a single unit with adjustable pin length. It also fits better the highly curved contour around the nose, etc.
The derma pen uses a bayonet mount for the replaceable microneedle cartridge. It has a metal stepless adjustment knob just below the mount to set the pin length. It has 5 speed levels with a color-coded light indicator. The cordless design and the oval profile of the pen make it easy to hold and navigate.
The derma pen comes packaged in a plastic storage case inside the sealed retail box. It comes with 5 individually sealed 12-pin microneedle cartridges, charging cable and AC adapter, and user manual.
I'm really pleased with this derma pen. It works great for me and allows me to control the microneedling more precisely. It comes with 5 replacement cartridges to get started. Additional cartridges are currently available for around $2 per cartridge and there are other designs as well. Overall, this is a great derma pen starter kit. It is worth giving it a try. Good product.

I really like this Dr. Pen Ultima N2 Professional Microneedling pen. It’s cordless and rechargeable. It’s durable and lightweight which makes it easier to hold. I have the Dr Pen Ultima M8. This pen is less advanced but works very similarly to the M8. Micro needling is excellent for most skin conditions. I’d suggest visiting a professional for a skin consultation first to understand what you should be doing. It’s very important to really understand what you’re doing before you start so you do not ruin or damage your skin. This pen is an excellent tool for home micro needling.

Love this electric microneedle. It allows even application all over your face with a sanitized needle.
I have used a manual roller on my skin for several years, as I am pro dermaroller (I strongly believe there are the extremes on both sides. My past experiences, both in and out of a salon (I had electric roller in salons) - I disregarded the instructions which looked bad (and other reviews have also affirmed).
I used on dry, alcohol sanitized skin, and followed with a serum. It did hurt a bit, but I also abide by the “no pain no gain.” My face was a little swollen for about 24 hours, and then slightly red for a few days but other than that, no noticeable difference. I did not use makeup the entire day and I would recommend waiting until the next day, regardless of whether you do it in the evening or morning - just let your skin sit by itself.
Pros to this type of treatment - sanitized, one use roller, quick, depth is consistent. It comes with it several needles if you wanted to share your machine with a family member, but I do not and I just change the needle each time I use
Due to my consistent use of a dermaroller, I don’t expect any mind blowing results as the results take time and consistency to use - much of which I’m already getting. However, I will definitely continue use. My goal is once a month (allows my skin time to heal between treatments), although I don’t always make that goal.
I have normal to dry, slightly acne prone skin. I am a white female prone to melasma and hyperpigmentation.

This microneedling pen is perfect for at home use. It's great for uneven skin tone, acne scars, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks and more. I've used it once on my face so far and have noticed some of the hyperpigmentation on my cheeks starting to lighten up after 4 weeks of healing. I know it'll take more sessions, but I'm optimistic that with consistent use (about once a month) and a good quality serum, I'll definitely see more results. Overall, it's easy to use and can also be adjusted to your pain tolerance. Definitely recommend.

First this pen does more than just vibrate. It does move up and down, it just goes so fast that you can not tell. I bought one once off the auction site. It was a knockoff, only vibrated and did more damage than good. Professionals use and trust this pen! Anyway, because this pen moves so fast it may make gliding along the skin more difficult so I highly recommend a gel or hyaluronic acid. I also recommend lidocaine. You are essentially stabbing yourself hundreds if times. These little tears produce collagen, plumping skin and repairing it. It helps wrinkles, redness, acne and stretch marks. Don't expect results overnight, though. This takes patience and persistence. I've used rollers and manual wands for years. When I have stuck to it, I have seen huge improvements in my stretch marks. No, they will never go away, but they have shrunk and are thinner and not as deep. This pen will help new ones fade faster too. This pen is magical because it does the stabbing for you so fast you don't notice. Taking a roller to your face is hard, and many give up. This pen is portable and wireless which is fantastic. I hate cords but if it does die, you can also use it plugged in. It has six speeds, and you can adjust the depth to the area you are treating. Follow the recommendations, going too deep on your face can cause damage you don't want. This pen is well made. Each needle tip comes individually wrapped for hygiene. They are also easily bought on Amazon. If you have been looking for a derma pen, don't waste your money on the other ones!

This is a good quality pen for the price. It's easy to use and you can see the results almost immediately. The pen gets to a deeper level in the skin to help hydrate tired skin. The needles barely go into the skin and there is not discomfort. Really helps with the fine lines. Would recommend.

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.

Nothing beats a Dr.Pen! I own and have tried numerous microneedling tools. But never a Dr.Pen. this one is my favorite the quality is there and it's a solid, well known brand that gives me confidence in the products. If you're a micrneedling person, you're gonna wanna try Dr.Pen
