Dr Pen A6S Cartridges
 
These cartridges are for use with the Dr Pen A6S microneedling pen.
 
Only ever use a cartridge once.
 
Which Cartridge to use?
 
11,16 & 24 Pin.
 
These cartridges are ideal to improve acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, melasma, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and collagen induction.
 
Some people will choose to use a numbing cream on prepped and cleansed skin. Ultimately this depends on the depth, experience of the user and if they are using the device for a professional treatment or as an at home treatment.
 
36 Pin.
 
This cartridge is ideal to improve skins hydration levels, visibility of stretch marks, visibility of large pores. These higher pin cartridges are good for treating larger areas.
 
As with the lower pin cartridges some people will choose to use a numbing cream on prepped and cleansed skin. Ultimately this depends on the depth, experience of the user and if they are using the device for a professional treatment or as an at home treatment.
 
How Does Microneedling Work?
 
As we grow older, the cycle of new skin growth slows and less collagen and elastin are produced. This can result in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots (pigmentation).
 
Applying creams and serums to the face may succeed to moisturise the outer layer of dead skin, but no penetration takes place to the living part of the skin.
 
The active molecules are simply too big to pass through the ultra protective epidermis layer.
 
Dr Pen creates “micro-channels” These are tiny punctures in the skin causing micro trauma, the body then creates a healing response promoting new collagen and elastin growth.
 
Further guidance.
 
Microneedling allows deeper penetration of serums and ingredients resulting in higher efficacy.
 
The depth setting used should be tailored to the area being treated.
 
As an example, skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than that of the cheek, therefore a lower depth setting around the eyes should be used.
 
It also comes down to experience of use and confidence.
 
Higher depth settings should only be used by professionals.

Most Dr Pen microneedling pens have a speed range of 1-5.
 
As a general rule, the faster the speed is set on the microneedling pen, the deeper the needle will penetrate into the skin.
 
Lowest speeds are recommended if you are a beginner. If using the pen on sensitive areas such as the face, lower speeds can help achieve more precise control of the pen.
 
When working on the body such as scaring or stretch marks a higher speed works well, this can be built up gradually.
