How to Use Dr. Pen Microneedling Pen: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
Ready to try the Dr. Pen Microneedling Pen but not sure where to start? Don’t worry! Here’s a beginner-friendly guide to help you get the most out of your microneedling sessions.
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin
Before using your Dr. Pen, make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup, dirt, or oil. Use a gentle cleanser that won’t irritate your skin.
Step 2: Apply a Numbing Cream (Optional)
If you're concerned about discomfort, you can apply a numbing cream to your skin 20-30 minutes before microneedling. This will help minimize any pain or discomfort during the treatment.
Step 3: Adjust the Needle Depth
The Dr. Pen allows you to adjust the needle depth depending on your skin’s needs. For superficial treatments (like improving texture or minor pigmentation), a shallow depth is fine. For deeper scars or wrinkles, a slightly deeper penetration might be necessary.
Step 4: Begin Microneedling
Turn on the Dr. Pen and gently move the device across your skin in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal patterns. Make sure to avoid pressing too hard—let the device do the work!
Step 5: Aftercare
Once the treatment is done, apply a soothing serum or moisturizer to hydrate and repair the skin. You may experience mild redness, which is normal and will subside within a few hours.
